On Thursday, October 7, the Learning Informatics Lab hosted its first seminar of the Fall 2021 semester. This talk, featuring Dr. Chin-Chung Tsai, reviews a series of studies from his research team regarding students’ conceptions of learning for different subject matters and various types of technology-enhanced instructional activities. It is found that the students possess quite different conceptions of learning by technology-enhanced learning environments than those in traditional school settings. The interplay among conceptions of learning, approaches to learning and learning outcomes for certain technology-supported environments will be discussed. How the technology may play a role in fostering students’ conceptualization of learning will also be addressed.
