Understanding Tutor Learning: Knowledge-Building and Knowledge-Telling in Peer Tutors’ Explanations and Questions:

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined two tutoring activities that are commonly hypothesized to support tutor learning: explaining and questioning, and found that they tend to exhibit a pervasive knowledge-telling bias.
Book ChapterDOI

The processes and challenges of conceptual change

TL;DR: In this article, the authors suggest that one should think of misconceptions as ontological miscategorizations of concepts and argue that this process is difficult if students lack awareness of when a shift is necessary and/or lack an alternative category to shift into.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tutor learning: The role of explaining and responding to questions.

TL;DR: This paper found that tutors learned most effectively when their instructional activities incorporated reflective knowledge-building in which they monitored their own understanding, generated inferences to repair misunderstandings, and elaborated upon the source materials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Misconceived causal explanations for emergent processes.

TL;DR: It is proposed that students lack this Emergent Schema and teaching it to them may help them learn and understand emergent kinds of science processes such as diffusion, and found that directly teaching students this Emergence Schema led to increased learning of the process of diffusion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Measuring self-regulated learning skills through social interactions in a teachable agent environment

TL;DR: Methods that are employed for detecting and characterizing students' behavior patterns from their activity sequences on the system are discussed, and a method for learning hidden Markov models (HMM) from the activity logs is discussed.
