          CALL FOR PAPERS

*The 3rd Workshop on Metacognition and Self-Regulated Learning in
Educational Technology*

in Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) 2008, June 23-27, Montreal

http://andrew.cmu.edu/~iroll/workshops/its08<http://andrew.cmu.edu/%7Eiroll/workshops/its08>

          Submission deadline: April 20

While educational technology has been shown to be effective at the domain,
cognitive level, similar success has not been achieved yet with regard to
tutoring better metacognitive and self regulation skills. A key question is
whether instructional technology can be as effective in fostering
metacognitive skills.

The aim of the workshop, 3rd in a series, is to improve our understanding of
the design of goals, instruction, and assessment of tutoring metacognition
and self-regulated learning using educational technology. We hope to spur
in-depths discussion as well as foster a community built around these
topics.

While all relevant submissions are welcome, authors are encouraged to
discuss aspects of measurement of metacognition and SRL in educational
technologies. Such aspects include, but are not limited to, the following:
-    Capturing, recording, or extracting metacognitive aspects of students'
learning processes
-    Interpreting and assessing metacognitive behavior
-    Evaluating the effect of metacognitive feedback and interventions
-    Designing tasks for metacognitive assessment
-    Measuring metacognition over time or in changing contexts
-    Qualitative vs quantitative methods to measure meta-cognitive behavior
-    Modeling metacognition
-    Assessing metacognition in educational technologies compared to the
classroom or lab
-    Relation between metacognitive measures and measures of learning,
motivation, and other measures of interest.

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.

All papers are expected to follow the general ITS 2008 submission guidelines
(http://gdac.dinfo.uqam.ca/its2008/). Papers must comply with the LNCS
formatting instructions (

to exceed 5000 words.

Papers will be peer reviewed by the workshop organizing committee. Accepted
papers will be included in the workshop proceedings and will be published on
the workshop webpage.  Please send your paper via email (only .odt, .doc,
.rtf or .pdf format, please) to Ido Roll, idoroll at cmu.edu.
