In motor task learning by instruction, the instructor's skill and intention, which, initially, are extrinsic constraints on the learner's perceiving and acting, eventually become internalized as intrinsic constraints by the learner. How is this process to be described formally? This process takes place via a forcing function that acts both as an anticipatory (informing) influence and a heredita...

Metacognitive modeling has begun to play an increasingly important role in adaptive eLearning to support learning and self-regulating processes. It is essential that students learn to regulate their learning through self-reflection by acquiring monitoring and pro-active strategies. The ETTHOS model currently estimates the metacognitive state of the learner by modeling both metacognitive awarene...

Personalization approaches in learning environments can be addressed from different perspectives and also in various educational settings, including formal, informal, workplace, lifelong, mobile, contextualized, and selfregulated learning. PALE workshop offers an opportunity to present and discuss a wide spectrum of issues and solutions. In particular, this fourth edition includes 8 papers deal...

Learner’s self-awareness of the breadth and depth of their expertise is crucial for self-regulated learning. Further, of learners report self-knowledge assessments to teaching systems, this can be used to adapt teaching to them. These reasons make it valuable to enable learners to quickly and easily create such models and to improve them. Following the trend to open these models to learners, we...

this paper investigates learner-initiated responses to english language teachers’ referential questions and learner initiatives after teachers’ feedback moves in meaning-focused question-answer sequences to analyze how interactional practices of language teachers, their initiation and feedback moves, facilitate learner initiatives. classroom discourse research has largely neglected learner init...

This study describes the emergence of a multimodality modeling workshop involving a 3D computer model, aiming to facilitate the workshop participants’ learning of their self-generated astronomy topic – lunar libration. This qualitative study took place in designing learning environments in informal learning contexts that leveraged five university students’ interests and prior knowledge in astro...
