IJCAI-93 Workshop on "Models of Teaching and Models of Learning"
To be held in conjunction with IJCAI-93
Chambery, Savoie, France, August 29 -- September 3, 1993
Topic:
The organizing committee listed below is pleased to announce a one-day
workshop on the topic of "Models of Teaching and Models of Learning," to be
held in conjunction with IJCAI-93, Chambery, Savoie, France, August 29 --
September 3, 1993. The workshop is aimed at exploring the relationships among
current cognitive models of human learning, machine learning, and AI-based
teaching models and systems. In particular, it will address such questions
as:
What do models of human and machine learning tell us about effectively
structuring teaching environments in a variety of tasks and domains?
Conversely, what does our knowledge of conditions and methods for effective
teaching tell us about human, and potentially machine, learning?
What is the best role for individual examples or cases in teaching and
learning? When and how should general rules be given to students?
What is the relationship between student models in teaching systems and models
of human and machine learning? What is the proper role of student modelling
in teaching?
How can issues of motivation be addressed in teaching systems?
What should the relative roles of content issues and architectural issues be
in our models of teaching and learning?
How does technology (e.g., the use of simulation or multimedia) affect our
ability to construct effective teaching systems?
Format:
The workshop program will include both invited and submitted papers.
Presentations will be organized into a number of thematically coherent panels
to encourage discussion. In order to encourage the broadest possible
participation, the workshop program will also include a poster session. For
the same reason, researchers and students who wish to attend the workshop
without presenting a paper or poster are encouraged to do so.
To participate:
To present a paper or a poster, please submit an extended abstract (2-3 pages)
by April 1, 1993. Submission may be either by electronic mail to
IJCAI-93 Workshop
Northwestern University
The Institute for the Learning Sciences
1890 Maple Avenue
Evanston, IL 60201 USA
Authors will receive notification of acceptance by May 1, 1993. Final papers
(in hard copy only) are due back to us by June 15, 1993.
If you wish to attend the workshop without presenting, please send us a copy
of your vita.
