Developing knowledge‐transforming skills in writing may help students increase learning by actively building knowledge, regardless of the domain. However, many undergraduate students struggle to transform knowledge when drafting essays based on multiple sources. Writing analytics can be used to scaffold knowledge transforming as writers bring evide...
Collaborative discussions should engage all students, not just a few who dominate (“leaders”) while others participate as “followers” (Zhu, 2006). Cunningham (1991) noted that collaborating learners bring, discuss and debate multiple perspectives to develop their own position while acknowledging others' views. Higher levels of knowledge constructio...
Data used in learning analytics rarely provide strong and clear signals about how learners process content. As a result, learning as a process is not clearly described for learners or for learning scientists. Gašević, Dawson, and Siemens (2015) urged data be sought that more straightforwardly describe processes in terms of events within learning ep...
Skillful essay writers successfully transform knowledge from multiple sources. However, when post-secondary writers draft essays after researching the articles, they often face challenges to engage in knowledge transforming, a complex process simultaneously involving reading comprehension, writing production and metacognitive monitoring (Bereiter &...
The Cambridge Handbook of Cognition and Education - edited by John Dunlosky February 2019
Learners working on major learning projects, such as an undergraduate thesis, frequently engage in information problem solving (IPS). In round-trip IPS, learners set goals and develop a work plan, search for and filter sources, critically analyze and mine key information, and draft and revise a final product. Information problem solving is a prime...
Language for academic and specific purposes is of special importance in
integrated content and language education so learners may access
subject-knowledge and engage in ‘doing’ different sciences.
Consequently, there is a movement towards making the “thought
process available for learning” through fairly routinized language
functions and moves (Dal...
Metacognition is integral in the cycle of self-regulated learning. Enhancing learner's metacognitive skills is a focus of many studies. Offering learning analytics to learners about learning has also gained popularity as a means to improve their metacognitive skills. A key question is, What types of analytics can meaningfully prompt change? We prop...
Learning analytics are often formatted as visualisations developed from traced data collected as students study in online learning environments. Optimal analytics inform and motivate students' decisions about adaptations that improve their learning. We observe that designs for learning often neglect theories and empirical findings in learning scien...
