Analysis and Design of Problems/Questions: The 11th Workshop on Technology Enhanced Learning by Posing/Solving Problems/Questions

at ICCE 2018 in Metro Manila, Philippines, on November 27, 2018.
Conference website: http://icce2018.ateneo.edu/

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.

From ICCE 2006 to 2017, we held a series of 10 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 11th workshop is the forth 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 poster/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.

Topics of interest include, but not limited to:
