Knowledge Integration: Trajectories, Opportunities, and Future Directions

Tue, April 17, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Millennium Broadway New York Times Square, Floor: Seventh Floor, Room 7.04

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

The knowledge integration (KI) framework emerged 25 years ago from syntheses of experimental, longitudinal, and meta-analytic studies of learning and instruction. KI captures the process learners use to build on their multiple ideas and refine their understanding. It has evolved in 100s of partnerships around the world that integrate expertise in learning, instruction, classroom teaching, assessment, technology, and the disciplines. Partnerships build on KI technologies, including the Web-based Inquiry Science Environment (WISE). They research design of instruction, assessment, professional development programs, and learning technologies. They study KI in a broad range of cultural contexts. This structured poster session brings together many contributors to KI to highlight advances, characterize technologies that strengthen KI, identify new trajectories, and describe promising future directions.
