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.
