  "It's your World, So Change It:" Reflections on Youth Civic Engagement and Life Abroad in Tanzania

  Monday, September 19, 2016
  12:00 – 12:50
  22 Education Building

  In this presentation Helen Neville of the Department of Educational Psychology will discuss the process of conducting research and teaching abroad, with a focus on Tanzania. I will summarize research findings from the #PowerUp: Youth Civic Engagement Project. Tanzanian secondary school youth in this project identified pressing social concerns needing attention that are consistent with the literature in other countries, but they also articulated intersecting concerns of larger social and political structures which remain largely unexplored in the research on civic engagement. Youth expressed clear ideas about what types of changes are needed to promote democracy in their environment and how they see themselves becoming active to make a difference in the communities in which they belong.

• Invitation to attend a workshop on ... Complex Problem Solving and Critical Thinking: Online Tools and Computational Approaches

  Nov 3, 2015 11:15 am122 views

  Invitation to attend a workshop on ...

  Complex Problem Solving and Critical Thinking:

  Online Tools and Computational Approaches

  11.00-12.30, Monday, November 9, followed by lunch

  Education Building, Room 166

  The Challenge: Complex problem solving and critical thinking are required in today’s medical, design, and engineering professions. Knowledge in these domains must frequently be presented in the form of an argument, particularly alternative application scenarios in context-specific cases. However, much of our teaching and assessment is still focused on empirically definite facts, and procedures that produce single, apparently ‘correct’ answers.

  The Project: The general problem addressed by this project is how to teach and assess ‘complex epistemic performance’ such as critical thinking that weighs up alternatives, and problem solving that is context- and case-sensitive. Our solution uses the Scholar platform developed by U of I researchers to support multimodal knowledge representation and structured peer feedback, focusing on critical disciplinary practices and metacognitive strategies. We are also exploring computational possibilities, both around structured peer and instructor data and computational approaches that mine unstructured or semi-structured data emerging through all stages of the learning process.

  The Intervention: With the support of the Illinois Learning Science Design Initiative (ILSDI), these possibilities are now being explored in the area of critical clinical thinking. Experiments are underway in first year medical curricula on campus: the Vet Cases Scholar community is home to Clinical Correlations cases in the College of Veterinary Medicine and the Cardiovascular Physiology community houses case analyses on this subject in the College of Medicine.

  Join the project team for a presentation on this project, with a discussion of these educational challenges, as well as the emerging computational and learning-analytic approaches.

  Project Team:

  PI: Duncan C. Ferguson, V.M.D., Ph.D., Dept. of Comparative

  Biosciences, College of Veterinary Medicine

  CIs: ChengXiang Zhai, Ph.D., Dept. of Computer Sciences,

  College of Engineering

• Interseminars Lecture December 6 Features Dr. Eve L. Ewing

  Nov 29, 2022 4:15 pm37 views

  Eve L. Ewing, a lifelong Chicagoan, is a writer and scholar who uses multi-genre storytelling, tools of sociological inquiry, archives, and community-grounded epistemologies to interrogate racialized histories and imagine emancipatory possibilities. A former public school teacher, she is particularly interested in the role of schools as social institutions and in the ways that schools can construct, normalize, and reinforce forms of social inequality, the ways that educational inequities reflect social cruelties beyond the walls of the school building, as well as, conversely, the still-lingering possibility that educational spaces can be sites of joy and liberation.
