Problems/questions are indispensable in the teaching and learning process. Adequate problems/questions give essential motivation for learning. Problems/questions with adequate quality in various testing conditions are believed to enable teachers to assess individual students' 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 learner's capability with appropriate quality level within constraints (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 number of problems/questions; any scaffolding techniques for question-generation implementation and instructional diffusion and so on.
In ICCE2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016, we held a series of workshops where we paid special attention to "questions/problems" in technology-enhanced learning. We have established SIG of "Technology Enhanced Learning by Posing Problems/Questions" in 2015. This 10th workshop is the third workshop organized by the SIG. This continuous workshop will provide a good and timely opportunity to present and share the results and issues about "problems/questions" and grow the SIG community.
We cordially invite presenters and participants who are interested in "problems/questions" in computer-supported education/learning environment. We would like to discuss the many facets and potential uses of "problems/questions" from a technological, computational, pedagogical, psychometrics, theoretical, sociological and administrative point of views. In addition to oral presentation sessions for research papers, we have a demonstration session for the computer-supported environments developed.
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, posters and demonstrations
Topics of interest include, but not limited to:
- Problem/question generation/authoring/posing
- Learning by problem/question-posing
- Problem/question variation/changing
- Problem analysis and evaluation
- Structurization of domain knowledge
- Problem/question selection
- Metadata or Ontology of problems
- Metacognition in problem-solving or problem-posing
- Test theory
- Instructional intervention for problem/question-authoring in classrooms
