Computer-based learning environments for deep learning in inquiry and problem-solving contexts

Abstract

Learning through inquiry and problem solving has been widely promoted in educational practice, and more recently in computer-based learning environments. Effective learning with real-world problems and authentic tasks, however, is not easy to realize because learning in such contexts often involves complex processes. Although relevant theories offer the foundation for understanding learning with real-world problems and authentic tasks, the design of computer-based environments and integrating them in situated learning are often sophisticated. This workshop attempts to share research and findings about how deep learning in such contexts can be empowered through effective design and implementation of computerbased learning environments, and appropriate analysis of learning in such environments.
