Interplay between group awareness and internal scripts: How information about knowledge and controversies triggers the activation of problem-solving script components (2022)
Conference Proceeding

Collaboration scripts and group awareness are two prominent factors for beneficial learning processes in CSCL. However, research mostly focuses on each factor independently. To inquire their mutual interaction, we investigate how different types of g...

Effects of Uncertainty Markers on Metacognitive Group Awareness and Regulation (2022)
Conference Proceeding

Social platforms provide a vast amount of resources for sharing, discussing, and searching for information. Thereby, learners need to monitor their understanding to metacognitively regulate their learning. Awareness of peers' metacognitions can affec...

What We Ought to Know: How Digital Museums Can Facilitate Reflection and Discourse of The Nigerian Civil War (2022)
Conference Proceeding

The Nigerian Civil War is a key that is often unspoken of in public or taught in schools, despite its aftermath still being felt decades later in Nigerian society. In this paper, we make a case for how a digital museum offers room to reflect, discuss...

"I would (not) teach proof, because it is (not) relevant to exams": changing beliefs about teaching proof (2022)
Conference Proceeding

Experts in mathematics education agree that reasoning and proof are essential and should be made central to learning mathematics. However, some school teachers tend to focus on procedural skills because of different beliefs unfavourable for the teach...

(Re)imagining spatialities for equity in mathematics education (2021)
Conference Proceeding

Contemporary discourse about the ‘opening’/‘closing’ of schools and what is ‘inside’/‘outside’ the curriculum potentially exacerbates existing inequities in mathematics education. This paper explores how different spatial imaginaries might advance or... Read More about (Re)imagining spatialities for equity in mathematics education.

Conference Proceeding

Lessons from a Shanghai reading lesson (2021)
Conference Proceeding

In recent years the influence of the “high performing” Asian cultures has been felt in UK education, particularly in mathematics teaching. However, China, and in paticular the region of Shanghai, also does exceptionally well in teaching the reading o... Read More about Lessons from a Shanghai reading lesson.

Green Chemistry in the Third Age: Engaging Older Adults in Learning about Sustainability (2021)
Conference Proceeding

The learning sciences takes a broad interest in learning across lifespans. Yet, there is a lack of research on the learning of older adults and how they engage with pivotal socio-scientific issues. This paper reports on a series of events designed to... Read More about Green Chemistry in the Third Age: Engaging Older Adults in Learning about Sustainability.

How does experience of online collaborative learning affect the views of trainee teachers in a Chinese context? (2021)
Conference Proceeding

A psychological perspective on data processing in cognitive group awareness tools (2020)
Conference Proceeding

Cognitive Group Awareness Tools are a means to support collaboration processes by providing learners with knowledge-related information about learning partners or the group. Targeting cognitive rather than behavioral variables allows these tools to g... Read More about A psychological perspective on data processing in cognitive group awareness tools.

Designing Multimodal Composition Activities for Integrated K-5 Programming and Storytelling (2020)
Conference Proceeding

A broad interest in embedding computing into K-5 settings has resulted in a proliferation of research on integrated approaches to programming. Although much of these efforts focus on supporting learning in science, engineering, and mathematics (or ST...

Group awareness information to support academic help-seeking (2019)
Conference Proceeding

Students are expected to deal with complex learning material, that regularly challenges their learning processes especially in the first semester. When students ask peers for explanations, they apply a functional learning strategy, known as academic... Read More about Group awareness information to support academic help-seeking.

Cognitive group awareness tools: Versatile devices to guide learners towards discrepancies (2019)
Conference Proceeding

Collaborative practices cover a vast variety of contexts and educational goals. Despite these differences, most means of support draw on between- and within-learner discrepancies as driving forces of individual and collaborative learning. These discr...

Designing for Integrated K-5 Computing and Literacy through Story-making Activities (2019)
Conference Proceeding

Proponents of computing education have long stressed the value of computing for learning in other disciplines. Much of the research towards this end has focused on supporting learning in science, engineering, and mathematics (or STEM). However, a tre...

An Exploration of Female Engagement and Collaboration: The Bricks and Bits Maker Project (2019)
Conference Proceeding

This poster explores how learners engage in "maker" activities when collaborating and how participation can become more inclusive when framing activities in order to connect learners with children in their own community. We describe the first iterati... Read More about An Exploration of Female Engagement and Collaboration: The Bricks and Bits Maker Project.

De/Mathematising the Political in Mathematics Education: A De/Postcolonial Critique (2019)
Conference Proceeding

Various interpretations have been given to the double gesture of de/mathematising in relation to a variety of social thematic contexts demarcating ‘the political’ in mathematics education. By way of theoretical intervention, we offer the beginnings... Read More about De/Mathematising the Political in Mathematics Education: A De/Postcolonial Critique.

Transporting knowledge: a case study of meaning making on the pathways of science communication (2018)
Conference Proceeding

In this paper I study scientists, reporters, and news readers as they produce and/or interpret scientific texts. Imagining all of these actors as science learners allows me to compare across their individual understandings to follow ideas through the...

Competing epistemologies in the construction of popular science (2018)
Conference Proceeding

This paper focuses on how the personal epistemologies of scientists and science communicators shape their practices and interact with one another in the construction of popular science news. I present data from observations and interviews with scient... Read More about Competing epistemologies in the construction of popular science.
