Learner-Centered Design: Developing Software That Scaffolds Learning
نویسندگان
چکیده
Learner-centered design (LCD) is an evolving design approach for designing tools that support learners trying to engage in and understand complex work practices in which they are novices. Learner-centered design focuses on developing tools that incorporate support (or “scaffolding”) to support the novice in seeing and doing complex, unknown work so that the learner can begin developing an understanding of that work in a “learning by doing” fashion. In this tutorial, we will give participants a more in-depth treatment of learnercentered design by describing a definition for LCD, theoretical background, and the LCD process and methods to give participants experience with the mindset needed for the LCD approach.

Use of Concept Map Scaffolds to Promote Adaptive E-Learning in Web- Based System
Scaffolds are a good method of implementing self-regulated learning. Use of prior knowledge makes the learner to understand a topic better. Learner adaptation enables a learner to be presented with content that matches his/her level of understanding. The main aim of this project is to use the adaptive scaffolds in form of concept maps in web-based elearning systems to play the role of learner g...

Our learner-centered technical reviews have been proven to be very effective i...
متن کاملExploring a Structured Definition for Learner-Centered Design
As computers become more powerful and prevalent, more researchers are exploring computer tools to help novices gain an understanding into new work domains. The development of such tools involves what has been termed a “learner-centered design” process. But while there is an intuitive notion of what is meant by learner-centered design, there is no formal definition. Here we present our definitio...

Open-ended learning environments (OELEs) are learner-centered, and they provide students with opportunities to take part in authentic and complex problem-solving tasks. These experiences may support deeper learning and the development of strategies that support future learning. However, many students struggle to succeed in such complex learning endeavors. Without proper adaptive scaffolding, th...
متن کاملMindful of process: scaffolds for collaboration discourse in design education
Given the critical importance of collaboration in lifelong learning, this paper highlights the need for interventions that help learners develop awareness of the social dimensions of group problem solving and adopt patterns of discourse leading to more successful collaborative learning outcomes. In pursuit of this, I present scaffolds that were piloted on students learning the practice of colla...
