数字时代的认知与探究学习———第十届CELDA 国际会议述评

Cognition and Exploratory Learning in Digital Age———A Review on the CELDA 2013 International Conference

第十届数字时代的认知与探究学习国际会议(CELDA)于2013 年10 月22-24 日在美国沃斯堡成功举办。笔者从泛在学习分析、数字时代的认知与教育、学习范式的新发展、教学设计的新进展、教师培训的新方法、技术应用的创新研究等六方面对这次会议进行述评。会议反映出数字时代的认知与探究学习的研究具有如下特征和趋势:1)对新技术应用的探索始终是推动教育技术发展的原动力;2) 技术支持下的各种学习环境能有效地支持即时学习与按需学习，将“以学生为中心冶的理念落到实处;3) 教学设计在不断地适应学习的发展，“为学习、作为学习、在学习中展开教学和评价冶成为数字时代教与学关系的新表征;4) 如何从教育大数据中挖掘相关信息并为个性化教学提供指导成为研究者关注的热点，泛在学习分析方法为教育大数据的挖掘提供了理论指导;5)教师培训是决定教育教学质量的重要环节，应用技术手段对教师进行有效培训是推动教育信息化发展的关键。

The 10th “ International Conference on Cognition and Exploratory Learning in Digital Age冶( CELDA，2013) was successfully held on October 22-24， 2013 in Fort Worth， United States. The authors based on literatureanalysis method， reviewed and analyzed those papers systematically from the aspect of learning analytics， cognitionand education in digital age， new learning paradigm development， instructional design， teachers training and profes-sional development as well as innovative learning technologies. In general， this conference reflects that cognition andexploratory learning in digital age has the following characteristics and trends: 1) The application of new technologyis always the fundamental driving power to promote the development of educational technology; 2) With the technolo-gy advancement， various learning environments can support real time learning and need-based learning effectively andput the “student-centered冶philosophy into practice; 3) Instructional design constantly adapts to the development oflearning. Teaching and assessment is taking place in the process of learning is a new characterization for the teachingand learning relationship; 4) Mining valuable information from educational big data attracts the attention of educa-tional researchers. Particularly， ubiquitous learning analytics method provides the theoretical guidance for mining ed-ucational big data; 5) Teaching training and professional development is the key to the quality of instructional prac-tice. Using technology for effective teacher training is essential for the integration of information technology with edu-cation.
