会议背景介绍：
The International Convention on Science of Learning is co-organized by the National Science Foundation (USA), OECD and UNESCO, in collaboration with the East China Normal University (ECNU), Shanghai Normal University and The University of Hong Kong, to be held March 1-6, 2014 in Shanghai, China. This Convention comprises three events:
Science of Learning Symposium on March 1, 2014.
This Symposium is organized by the National Science Foundation (USA) to highlight research on the burgeoning science of learning research being conducted in the United States and cognate research taking place in the People’s Republic of China at universities and research institutes such as the National Key Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience and Learning at Beijing Normal University and the Institute of Neuroscience in Shanghai, with the goal of fostering collaboration.
Dialogue on Science of Learning – How can it make a difference? on March 3-4, 2014.
The major objective of the Dialogue is to provide an opportunity for key stakeholders concerned with learning to collectively and critically reflect on how cutting edge, research based knowledge on Science of Learning can be optimally applied to: (i) better understand human learning, (ii) facilitate learning and enhance practices in education, and (iii) inform policies to better support such practices.
International Forum on Science of Learning and Innovation in Education on March 5-6, 2014.
This Forum, organized by East China Normal University, aims to further the dissemination of recent research on how people learn and the dialogue on how science of learning can make a difference in educational policy and practice. The topics primarily include: (i) frontier of Science of Learning, (ii) how Science of Learning makes differences in educational practice, (iii) how Science of Learning makes differences in educational policy, and (iv) how Science of Learning makes differences in teacher education.
征文范围及要求：
Two major issues need to be addressed:
1) Knowledge about learning is often not shared or integrated across disciplinary boundaries, even though many disciplines actively conduct research on this important topic. These disconnects stand in the way of a holistic and deeper understanding of learning, which can lead to premature interpretation and/or inappropriate applications of research findings.
A Science of Learning that promotes integrative, interdisciplinary approaches to synergistically address the many complexities surrounding learning is the inspiration to bring research about learning to the next level of effort, commitment and achievement. It will foster the ability of diverse teams of researchers to create common platforms of conceptualization, experimentation and explanation that catalyze new lines of thinking and investigation to overcome complexities about learning that have long eluded our understanding.
2) While there is implicit acceptance that knowledge about how people learn should be the foundation for how we teach and educate, the reality is that researchers, education policymakers and education practitioners rarely have opportunity to examine and discuss the issues surrounding application of evidence-based learning practices.
To address these challenges globally, the goals of the meetings in Shanghai will pursue the following goals:
To promote high-level discussion among researchers, practitioners, and policymakers about recent research on how people learn and their implications for policy and practice
To foster the development of an international network on the broad theme of learning, so as to continue the dialogue among research, policy and practice communities for overcoming key challenges; and,
To globalize and mobilize the field of an integrative, multidisciplinary Science of Learning by strengthening and exploring new collaborations among U.S. researchers and their international counterparts. |
