We are happy to invite you to the next talk of our IWM Lectures held by Prof. Dr. Jan L. Plass on Tuesday, February 11, from 2.30-3.30 pm (large conference room 2, IWM / Schleichstr. 6, TĂĽbingen).

The talk addresses a broader audience, everyone interested is welcome to join. 
Participation online is also possible (please send an e-mail to get the link: redaktion(at)iwm-tuebingen.de ).

Immersive virtual reality (VR) is the use of computer-generated simulations of a three-dimensional environment that users can interact with, typically via a head-mounted display (HMD), specialized controllers, and audio devices. Research has found mixed results in the effectiveness of VR compared to other media on learning, raising the question, How does VR foster learning? In this talk I argue that an affordance approach can provide insights into this question and explain why some studies find positive effects, while others do not. I will present findings from our own VR research at NYU CREATE and discuss the tech stack our lab is using for this research.

It’s time for an since I’ve been lurking for a while after leaving that other platform. I’m Mike. I have doctorate in and I help future teaches understand how people learn. Prior to academia, I played in bands and recorded bands. Love 80s/90s and among others. That’s all I got for now. Be kind to others.

What is design-based research in learning sciences? A good question that William Sandoval discussed at length today at EPFL. I keep from this talk the possibility to produce “local theories” from DBR. Those theories are as general as the body of empirical work that links them to practice, but may still be beneficial to the design of intervention for contexts in which they were studied.

Most professors teach, but only some research teaching. For the former, does their practical knowledge of teaching help them evaluate education research? Find out in this article by Vic Deekens, Brian Cartiff, and yours truly. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10

Super excited to share the latest article in our topical collection on Theory Development in Educational Psychology! In this article, Pani Kendeou reviews the development of the Knowledge Revision Components Framework and how it can be used to address the current misinformation crisis. doi.org/10.1007/s10648-024-098

Is that misinformation intervention helping people discern true from false news, or just making people more skeptical of all news? Find out, here: bemusings.ghost.io/how-to-tell

There’s been a lot of hubbub lately about the role of knowledge in reading instruction. What exactly do people mean when they say “knowledge matters” - what kinds of knowledge are we talking about? Drs. McCarthy and McNamara have a great way to think about knowledge and text comprehension. Check it out: soundcloud.com/user-883650452/
