10th international conference of the learning sciences July 2nd 6th, 2012, Sydney, the University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia
ISLS is a professional society dedicated to the interdisciplinary empirical investigation of learning as it exists in real-world settings and how learning may be facilitated both with and without technology. ISLS sponsors two professional conferences, held in alternate years. The International Conference of the Learning Sciences (ICLS), first held in 1991 and held biannually since 1996, covers the entire field of the learning sciences. The final papers included in the ICLS 2012 Proceedings are for 18 symposia, 60 full papers, 61 short papers, and 62 poster papers, as well as abstracts for the four keynote talks and threespecial sessions, including the invited Presidential Session on The Future of Learning, and nine workshops. The themes reflected in the papers and presentations at ICLS 2012 cover a wide rangeof issues and research areas. Some papers deal with long standing theoretical issues, such as conceptual change and knowledge transfer, whereas other papers report on new learning research in conventional subject areas such as science, mathematics, and literacy. Research is also reported on newer knowledge areas such as complex systems, as well as more recent perspectives on pedagogy and learning such as knowledge building, inquiry, and productive failure. - p. xii
