Researching socially shared regulation in learning

Abstract:
Advanced learning technologies have contributed to progress in learning sciences research. There is growing interest in methodological developments using technological tools and multimodal methods for understanding learning processes (e.g. physiological measures). My research group has been working on collecting multimodal and multichannel data for understanding the complex process of collaborative learning. We have been especially interested in how groups, and individuals in groups, can be supported to engage in, sustain, and productively regulate collaborative processes for better learning. In this presentation, I will introduce the theoretical progress in understanding socially shared regulation (SSRL) in learning and review how we have been collecting, analyzing and triangulating data about the regulation in collaborative learning. I will discuss the current methodological challenges and opportunities learning analytics has helped us trace and model SSRL processes.

Biography:
Sanna Järvelä is a professor in learning sciences and head of the Learning and Educational Technology Research Unit (LET) and director of the LeaF research infrastructure in the University of Oulu, Finland. Her main research interests deal with self-regulated learning, computer-supported collaborative learning and on-line learning processes. Järvelä and her research group are internationally recognized in theoretical and methodological advancement of social aspects of self-regulated learning (socially shared regulation in learning) and processes oriented and multimodal research methods. She has published more than 150 scientific papers in international refereed journals and about 50 book chapters and three edited books, and her Google Scholar h-index is 55. She has been editor in many journals (e.g. Learning and Instruction) and currently Chief Editor in the International Journal of Computer Supported Collaborative Learning. Järvelä is the member of the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters, the past EARLI (European Association for Research on Learning and Instruction) president and invited member of the expert group of the OECD's PISA 2024 'Learning in the Digital World'.

Fwd: Symposium: Educational talk and dialogic pedagogies - programme available

Symposium at the University of York - 

Educational talk and dialogic pedagogies: from research to impact

Date: Friday 27th March 2020
Time: 9:30-5:00 (registration 9:30-10:00)
Location: Spring Lane Building, University of York, Heslington West Campus

The symposium aims to bring together researchers and practitioners who are interested in the topics of classroom interaction, oracy in educational settings and pedagogies that promote the development of oral skills in the classroom and beyond. Research suggests that talk skills of teachers and students make a difference in supporting learner engagement and critical thinking and in raising educational outcomes. And yet, these vital skills tend to be taken for granted by both teachers and students. An emerging field of international research highlights the central role oral skills play in teaching and learning and beyond the classroom.

The symposium will welcome the following distinguished plenary speakers in the field: Dr Maureen Boyd (University at Buffalo), Dr Sara Hennessy (University of Cambridge), Dr Marion Heron (University of Surrey), and Dr Klára Šeďová (Masaryk University, Czech Republic).

Registration is now open

Fwd: Call for papers - APT 2020 - 18th annual Academic Practice and Technology conference

We invite contributions for the 18th annual Academic Practice and Technology (APT) conference "Shaping academic practice for the new decade" that will be held on Monday July 6th, 2020 at University College London (UCL). 

APT 2020 is co-hosted by the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), Imperial College London and UCL. It will examine whether the relationship between academic practice and technology needs to change for the 2020s, and how digitally enhanced learning can contribute to some of the biggest challenges facing higher and further education 

Presenters and delegates will explore some critical areas that currently concern educators such as designing effective programmes and developing inclusive practice; creative and authentic feedback and assessment; and, of growing importance to students, how we can step up to meet the challenges of a sustainable future. 

Contributions can be in the form of presentations, workshops, case studies and field reports. A full description of the 4 themes that underpin this year's conference can be found at: https://aptconference.org.uk/index.php/apt/apt2020/schedConf/themes 

The conference proposal form is available from https://tinyurl.com/apt2020CfP 

You may contact the organisers by e-mail at: academicpracticetechnology@ucl.ac.uk up to the submission deadline to discuss potential contributions. The deadline for receiving proposals is Monday 27th April 2020. Further details can be found at: https://aptconference.org.uk/index.php/apt/apt2020/schedConf/index

Fwd: TILT Festival of Learning – 16th June 2020

,    The Trent Institute for Learning and Teaching (TILT) would like to welcome contributions to its annual Festival of Learning taking place on Tuesday 16th June 2020. This year's theme is active collaborative learning.    This exciting day will showcase a range of innovative practice from colleagues on the benefits and applications of active collaborative learning. A pedagogy that is continuing to grow in popularity. The event will be valuable to anyone with interest in active learning or is considering embedding it within their courses.    Our first keynote is Jane McNeil, who led the UK's first institutional multi-disciplinary SCALE-UP project, a form of active learning. More recently, Jane headed an inter-university initiative funded by the Office for Students, which found that active collaborative learning benefits all students, and is associated with reducing and, in some cases, closing gaps in student engagement, attendance, attainment and continuation. A second keynote will be announced soon.   Within the general theme of the Festival, we welcome proposals of up to 45 minutes. The more that sessions embed the principles of active collaborative learning, the better! The Festival is open to all, of which there is no charge.   For more information on the criteria and to submit, please go to our submissions Form. The deadline for such is 20th March. For those interested in attending, please head to our registration page. Our Festival webpage also hosts more information, and be sure to follow the conversation on Twitter using #FoL20.   We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible!   Best wishes,   TILT
