Analysis and Design of Problems/Questions: The 13th Workshop on Technology Enhanced Learning by Posing/Solving Problems/Questions

at ICCE2020 in a fully virtual conference, on November 23, 2020.
Conference website: https://icce2020.apsce.net/

The 13th Workshop on Technology Enhanced Learning by Posing/Solving Problems/Questions was successfully held. Thank you for your participation ans meet in next workshop!

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 2019, we held a series of 12 workshops where we paid special attention to "questions/problems" in technology-enhanced learning. We have established SIG of "Educational Use of Problems/Questions in Technology-Enhanced Learning" in 2015. This 13th workshop is the sixth 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.

Topics of interest include, but not limited to:
