         CALL FOR PAPERS

Workshop on Metacognition and Self-Regulated Learning in Educational
Technologies

in AIED 2007, July 9-13, Los Angeles

         Submission deadline: May 1

Students with better metacognitive or self-regulation skills are shown to be
better learners in school and more capable independent learners. While
educational technology is shown to be effective at the domain, cognitive
level, similar success was not achieved yet with regard to tutoring better
metacognitive and self regulation skills.

A key question is whether instructional technology can be as effective in
fostering metacognitive skills as it is in teaching domain-specific skills
and knowledge. On the face of it, the answer is positive.  Novel means for
interaction, better understanding of learning, mechanisms for tracing
students' knowledge, and established domain-level tutoring principles
suggest that this can be done. However, it remains largely unknown exactly
how educational technology can help students acquire better metacognitive
skills and use them more effectively.

The aim of the workshop is to improve our understanding of the design of
goals, instruction, and assessment of tutoring metacognition and
self-regulated learning using educational technology.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited, to:
•    Goals for metacognitive tutoring
•    Design guidelines for metacognitive tutors
•    Supporting vs. teaching metacognition
•    Ways of assessing of metacognitive knowledge and learning
•    Integrating metacognitive and cognitive instruction
•    Modeling metacognition and representing metacognitive knowledge
•    Pedagogies to teach metacognition
•    Empirical studies evaluating metacognitive tutoring
•    Descriptive studies evaluating metacognitive tutoring
•    Transfer and metacognition
•    Metacognition and motivation
•    Metacognitive awareness of Intelligent Tutoring Systems
•    The importance of metacognition to learning in different tutoring
environments (such as inquiry systems, problem solving environments, etc.)

IMPORTANT DATES:
*   5/1 - Submission deadline
*   6/1 - Reviews back to authors
*   6/15 - Camera ready copy

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

We invite work at all stages of development, including particularly
innovative approaches in their early phases. Papers can describe applied
systems, empirical results or theoretically grounded positions, and can
tackle any aspect of metacognitive goals, instruction, and assessment.

Papers should be less than 10 pages long. All papers are expected to follow
the general AIED 2007 submission guidelines
(http://www.isi.edu/AIED2007/submission.html
)

Papers will be peer reviewed by the workshop organizing committee. Accepted
papers will be included in the workshop proceedings. This year all
proceedings are published online only, on the AIED society web page.
Publications will have page numbers for citing purposes.  Please send your
paper via email (only .doc or .pdf format, please) to Ido Roll <
idoroll@xxxxxxx>

Thank you,

Vincent Aleven
