Titre: The Design of Exploratory Learning Environment
Abstract: Recent findings from the emerging field of the learning sciences suggest that learners them selves need to actively cons truct knowledge in ways that make sense to them connecting new information to prior knowledge while being engaged in au thentic practices. However, many teacher and curriculum programs in formal higher education are designed to put the instructor in the forefront. While the instructor does the explaining and questioning, the students do the listening (traditional models of lear ning). Consequently, thinking of teaching as helping students to learn, i.e. to understand, this study tries to elaborate on cognition in its physical, social and cultural context investigating learning and teaching as they happen in higher education classrooms. The case study research is guided by the following question: How do expert instructors design exploratory lear ning environments that engage students in deep learning? Preliminary results of the first two case studies conducted at Harvard Graduate School of Education during Fall term 2009 and Spring term 2010 will be presented.1
1 The first two case studies are part of a larger research program (2009-2012) called “An Alternative Model of Learning: Implications of Learning Sciences Research for the Creation of Effective Technology-Enhanced Learning Environments” and sponsored by the European Commission (FP7).
