Keynote Session: Ambitious Learning Practices across Contexts

Full Session: General Session

Short Description

Ambitious learning practices represent a range of approaches that are inherently collaborative and student-centered (Glazewski & Hmelo-Silver, 2019). These tend to be situated in complex problems and tasks which require scaffolding for learners to be successful. Examples of these include problem-based learning, project-based learning, and inquiry learning. Particularly important in ambitious learning practices is considering the disciplinary context that grounds exploration and investigation and the guidance that is provided. In this talk, I will discuss ambitious learning practices across different learning contexts that range from primary schools to professional schools with implications for research and design.
