Synopsis

This course delves into the multifaceted process of human learning, by exploring core concepts and theoretical frameworks from the field of Learning Sciences. Participants will engage with and explore fundamental debates and contemporary issues in the area. They will reflect on their own beliefs, assumptions, and experiences related to learning, and consider how they align with or diverge from the conclusions of the literature. Through the multidisciplinary lens of the Learning Sciences, and drawing upon areas such as psychology, education, cognitive science, neuroscience, anthropology, sociology and technology, participants will gain a deep understanding of how people learn and how effective learning environments and instructional strategies can be designed. 课程通过探索学习科学领域的核心概念和理论框架,深入探讨人们学习的多方面过程。学员将参与并探讨该领域的基本辩论和当代问题。他们将反思自己与学习有关的信念、假设和经验,并思考这些信念、假设和经验与文献结论的一致性或差异性。通过学习科学的多学科视角,并借鉴心理学、教育学、认知科学、神经科学、人类学、社会学和技术等领域的知识,学员将深入了解人们如何学习以及如何设计有效的学习环境和教学策略。
