The Design of an Exploratory Learning Environment to Support Invention
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the design of the Invention Coach, an intelligent, exploratory learning environment (ELE) to support Invention, an exploratory learning activity. Our design is based on a two-pronged approach. Our own study of naturalistic teacher guidance for paper-based Invention uncovered phases in the Invention process. Prior research on the mechanisms of learning with Invention activities revealed specific instructional strategies. These two sources informed the design of the guidance offered by the Invention Coach. To our knowledge, this is the first design of a guided environment for Invention activities inspired by a model of naturalistic teacher guidance. Our work offers insight into styles of guidance that could apply to other exploratory learning environments.

The Invention Coach: Integrating Data and Theory in the Design of an Exploratory Learning Environment
This design case describes the development of the Invention Coach, an intelligent exploratory learning environment (ELE) for the constructivist activity of Invention. The Invention Coach scaffolds students as they invent mathematical formulas to describe contrasting cases. In this paper, we detail our process and rationale for three key design decisions made with the goal of providing optimal g...

Exploratory Learning Environments (ELE) facilitate scientific inquiry tasks in which learners attempt to develop or uncover underlying scientific or mathematical models. Unlike step-based Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS), and due to task characteristics and pedagogical philosophy, ELE offer little support at the domain level. Lacking adequate support, ELE often fail to deliver on their promis...
