       CALL FOR PAPERS

       Workshop on Metacognition and Self-Regulated Learning in
Intelligent Tutoring Systems

       http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/~iroll/aied07-metacognition

      in collaboration with AIED 2007

      July 10, 2007

      Marina Del Rey, California

      Submission deadline: May 1

A number of studies have shown that students who apply better
metacognitive skills and self-regulation strategies during their
learning process have better learning outcomes.  A key question is
whether instructional technology can be as effective in fostering
metacognitive skills as it is in teaching domain-specific skills and
knowledge. On the face of it, the answer is positive.  Novel means for
interaction, better understanding of learning, mechanisms for tracing
students' knowledge, and established domain-level tutoring principles
could be applied at the metacognitive level. However, it remains
largely unknown exactly how educational technology can help students
acquire better metacognitive skills and use them more effectively.

The aim of the workshop is to improve our understanding of the design
of goals, instruction, and assessment of tutoring metacognition and
self-regulated learning using educational technology.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited, to:
•    Goals for metacognitive tutoring
•    Design guidelines for metacognitive tutors
•    Supporting vs. teaching metacognition
•    Ways of assessing of metacognitive knowledge and learning
•    Integrating metacognitive and cognitive instruction
•    Modeling metacognition and representing metacognitive knowledge
•    Pedagogies to teach metacognition
•    Empirical studies evaluating metacognitive tutoring
•    Descriptive studies evaluating metacognitive tutoring
•    Transfer and metacognition
•    Metacognition and motivation
•    Metacognitive awareness of Intelligent Tutoring Systems
•    The importance of metacognition to learning in different tutoring
environments (such as inquiry systems, problem solving environments,
etc.)

IMPORTANT DATES:
*   5/1 - Submission deadline
*   6/1 - Reviews back to authors
*   6/15 - Camera ready copy

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

We invite work at all stages of development. Papers can describe
applied systems, empirical results or theoretically grounded
positions, and can tackle any aspect of metacognitive goals,
instruction, and assessment.

Papers should be less than 10 pages long. All papers are expected to
follow the general AIED 2007 submission guidelines
(http://www.isi.edu/AIED2007/submission.html )

Papers will be peer reviewed by the workshop organizing committee.
Accepted papers will be included in the workshop proceedings. This
year all proceedings are published online only, on the AIED society
web page. Publications will have page numbers for citing purposes.

Please send your paper via email (only .odt, .doc or .pdf format,
please) to Ido Roll <idoroll at cmu.edu>
