Knowledge, Transformation, Design and Technology Chair: Richard Noss London Knowledge Lab Institute of Education - University of London Respondent: Andy diSessa University of California - Berkeley
Teaching and Learning Research Programme Technology Enhanced Learning • Funded jointly by the Economic and Social Research Council, & the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council 2007-12 • 7 development projects (2007) • 8 large-scale projects (2007-12)
a few epistemological challenges • Learning is sensitive to the smallest changes in design • What individuals bring to learning artifacts is heterogeneous • Knowledge is not invariant across representations • Design research: Understanding to design + designing to understand
STUDENTS' EVOLVING EPISTEMOLOGIES • MiGen - designing to overcome epistemological obstacles in learning mathematics • HapTel - redefining students' epistemologies by within-activity visualisations. RESEARCHERS' AND TEACHERS' EPISTEMOLOGIES • LDSE: supporting teachers' engagement with TEL and studying their construction of knowledge • PI: interdisciplinary research as a means to share new discourses of learning support NEW TOOLS, NEW FORMS OF KNOWLEDGE • SynergyNet: designing for multitouch-mediated collaboration • Ensemble - students' personal epistemologies in linking formal and 'real'
