A Process-Oriented Perspective on Analysing Learner-Environment Interactions in Constructivist Learning

The work presented in this paper is concerned with the development of a computational basis for the creation of constructivist learning environments capable of evaluating the process of interaction between the learner and the environment and promoting effective individualised learning based on these evaluations. Central to our approach is the formalisation of the process of learner-environment interaction. As formal entities, such processes can be analysed to inform the decisions of a learning environment concerning the promotion of individualised learning. In this paper, we introduce and discuss the models we have been developing to support the representation and analysis of processes of learner-environment interaction.
