Solving problems/questions is one of the most indispensable and important components in the teaching and learning process. Problems/questions with adequate quality in various testing conditions are believed to enable teachers to assess individual studentsf capability and readiness of transfer in specific domain knowledge. Despite this, there are still many areas in need of systematic investigation to promote knowledge and skills on problems/questions-centered learning approach, including learning by problem solving and/or generation. For instance: what criteria constitute as adequate test item quality (in addition to frequently cited psychometric index like item difficulty, discrimination index); how to best assess learnerfs capability with appropriate quality level within constrains (e.g., an optimal number of items, time limitation, etc.); any feasible metadata heuristics and/or techniques for problems/questions selection; any promising alternative strategies for compiling a sufficient amount of number of problems/questions; any scaffolding techniques for question-generation implementation and instructional diffusion and so on.
In ICCE2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2013, we held a series of workshops where we paid special attention to gquestions/problemsh in technology-enhanced learning. This is the 7th workshop focusing on the same topic. This continuous workshop will provide a good and timely opportunity to present and share the results and issues about "problems/questions" in ICCE community. We cordially invite presenters and participants who are interested in further exploring the many facets and potential uses of "problems/questions" in education/learning from a technological, computational, pedagogical, psychometrics, theoretical, sociological and administrative point of views.
All workshop participants are required to register for the main conference, but there will not be additional workshop fee.
Style of Workshop:
Mini-conference with paper presentations
Topics of interest include, but not limited to:
- Problem/question generation/authoring/posing
- Learning by problem/question-posing
