- 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.
-
