  1. Changing Learning Through Invention, Research, and Connection Eva L. Baker National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, & Student Testing Graduate School of Education & Information Studies University of California, Los Angeles Asia-Pacific Educational Research Association The Ecology of Human Growth and Sustainable Societal Development: Contributions from Educational Research and Innovations Putra World Trade Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 23 November 2010

  2. Learning Is a Social Activity with New Implications in the Shrinking World

  3. Finding the Balance for Joyful Learning

  4. World Education Research Association • How can we pursue these tasks? • Do we know what and how to share? • Growth and development, intellectual, emotional, economic, geographic • Trustworthy evidence to guide practice

  5. Essential Goals for Future

  6. Presentation Structure

  7. Two Perspectives on Inventions

  8. Invention Targets • New goals, new solution • Old goals, new solution • Solve, ameliorate, transform • Direct to user or tools to mediate inventions • Reproducible results

  9. Invention Targets (Cont’d)

  10. Sources of Invention

  11. Technology-Push • Inductive process • Invention meets new purposes • Spinning out options • Tape • Medications • Games • Relaxing constraints

  12. New Generations of Inventions • Intelligent tutoring systems • Mobile computing • Computing “in the wild” • Social networks • fMRI findings

  13. Criteria for Learning Inventions • Intuitive attractiveness • Addressing a new goal, to enhance individual or community capacity, including Innovation and invention as a goal to be pursued • A solution or tool that is feasible for use in the intended setting applying adapted or invented strategies to meet current and future requirements

  14. More Criteria for Learning 4. Embedded in an articulated conceptual framework or theory rather than being a one-off artifact—extensible 5. Modifiable for ranges of learners and settings, that is, adaptable 6. Acceptable to users—feasible and useful 7. Evidence of effectiveness

  15.

  16. Failure as a Context for Invention • Professor Baker at play • Graduate Student Baker at work • Thomas A. Edison

  17. Try and Try Again I will not say I failed 1000 times. I will say that I discovered there are a 1000 ways that can cause failure. http://www.picturesdepot.com/quotes/4963/thomas+edison+failure.html http://www.buzzle.com/articles/facts-on-thomas-edison.html

  18. Failure and Success Failure Success

  19. Research Considerations for Proactive, Integrative, and Anticipatory Learning http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/200407/30/images/0729_B35.jpg&imgrefurl=http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/200407/30/eng20040730_151311.html&h=418&w=280&sz=55&tbnid=T60LMEhYkfqcPM:&tbnh=274&tbnw=184&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dmalaysian%2Bchildren&zoom=1&q=malaysian+children&hl=en&usg=___ctUORpiuWW1PNgWIVsevPFm1yM=&sa=X&ei=2fm9TJGKK4a6sQOAnbXGBA&sqi=2&ved=0CBYQ9QEwAg

  20. Dealing with Differences • Individual traits • Cultural and linguistic factors • Cognitive readiness http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Rhinoceros_hornbill_national_aviary.jpg

  21. Cognitive Readiness: Preparation for the Unknown • Problem-Solving • Adaptation • Risk-Assessment • Decision-Making • Situation Awareness • Collaboration • Teamwork • Communication

  22. Goals of Cognitive Readiness • Flexibility • Integration • Transfer • High function in new situations • Competence and resilience with rapidly changing constraints

  23. Integrating Invention and Research with Games: The River City Project http://muve.gse.harvard.edu/rivercityproject/images/screen_skyline2.jpg

  24. Impact of Games • Targeted learning • Brain functions • Visualization • Verbal trade-offs • Accelerated learning • Re-norming of intelligence tests • Collective mental models

  25. Evidence • To understand phenomena • Attainment and growth • Extended performance across content and context • Assessment and accountability • Amazon user votes • Reliability, comparability • Validity integration • New psychometrics

  26. On Connection • APERA and WERA membership • Model high quality scholarship and collective conclusions • Recommendations to influence world-wide approaches to learning research, invention, and practice • Learning and sharing, building a new tradition

  27. Summary “The best way to predict the future is to invent it.” -----Alan Kay http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Alan_Kay; http://www.viewpointsresearch.org/html/people/founders.htm
