Hi 

I'm Amali Weerasinghe, a final-year PhD student studying under Tanja Mitrovic.
 
Ido Roll (University of British Columbia, Canada) Roger Azevedo (McGill 
University, Canada) and I (Amali Weerasinghe, University of Canterbury, NZ) are 
 organizing the above workshop in conjunction with the 15th International 
Conference on Artifical Intelligence on Education (AIED 2011).
 
It would be great if you could circulate the CFP for the workshop.
 
Thanks

Amali Weerasinghe

The Fourth Workshop on Meta-Cognition and Self-Regulated Learning in 
Educational Technologies


Modeling, Evaluating, and Fostering Metacognition with Computer-Based Learning 
Environments (http://srlet.idoroll.org/aied11/)


In conjunction with the 15th International Conference on Artificial 
Intelligence in Education 


We invite work at all stages of development, including particularly innovative 
approaches in their early phases. Manuscripts should describe applied systems, 
empirical results, theoretically grounded positions, or any aspect of research 
on metacognition and self-regulated learning (SRL) skills. 

 

The workshop will focus on the following aspects:

*       Modeling metacognitive and SRL knowledge and skills: How can 
metacognitive and SRL knowledge and skills be modeled? How can metacognitive 
knowledge and skills be represented? How can metacognitive behaviors be 
extracted from domain-level student responses? 
*       Evaluating metacognitive and SRL behaviors: What comprises 
metacognitive and SRL behaviors? Can productive SRL behaviors be identified 
automatically, across students, learning tasks, domains, and environments? What 
on-line and off-line assessments of metacognitive and SRL behaviors can be used 
to validate the models of SRL and metacognition? How can metacognitive 
behaviour(s) be measured over extended periods of time? How does changing 
contexts affect metacognirive behaviours? What are qualitative and quantitative 
methods to evaluate metacognitive behaviors? 
*       Fostering metacognitive and SRL knowledge and skills: What forms of 
support facilitate students in acquiring, retaining, and transferring  
metacognitive and SRL skills? Specifically, what types of scaffolding and 
feedback will facilitate students' internalization of the desired knowledge, 
skills and behaviors? What is the relationship between domain-level support and 
SRL support? What are effective pedagogies to teach metacognition and SRL? Are 
there empirically-based design guidelines for computer-based learning 
environments? Are there specific methods and (meta)cognitive tools that can be 
provided to learners so they can manage the various metacognitive and SRL 
processes (e.g., interface tools to manage extraneous cognitive load)?

Other topics of interest include

*       The relationship between metacognition, SRL, and domain level learning 
*       The relationship between metacognition, SRL, motivation, and affect 
*       Supporting and improving metacognitive knowledge and skills in the 
workplace and other informal environments.

 


Submission types


The workshop includes two categories for submissions:


Extended abstracts


Extended abstracts should describe cutting edge work on tutoring of 
metacognition and self-regulated learning. This category describes mainly 
results from experiments, novel metacognitive models, etc. Unique and 
well-justified theoretical stances are also welcome. Authors of accepted papers 
will present their work in a symposium session.


Demonstrations


Demonstrations showcase educational technologies that support students' 
metacognition and self-regulated learning skills. Systems can be in different 
stages in development, though an interactive demo is required. Authors of 
accepted papers will be invited to present their systems (and/or videos of 
students using the systems) in a hands-on session. Papers in this category will 
not be presented during the symposium session. 


Submission Format


All papers should be 2-4 pages long, and should follow the standard LNCS format 
<ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/llncs/latex2e/instruct/authors/typeinst.pdf>
 . Longer papers can be submitted on a per-case basis. All submissions should 
include an abstract (up to 150 words). 

 

Papers will be peer reviewed by the workshop program committee. Accepted papers 
will be included in the online workshop proceedings. Publications will have 
page numbers for citing purposes.

Please send your paper via email (only .doc or .pdf format, please) to 
srlet.aied11@xxxxxxxxxx
