Long papers on how technology supports teaching and assessment, with attention to multilingual learners and analytics. Topics include AI scaffolds for multilingual science inquiry, a four-step formative assessment cycle, flexible primary-language use in EdTech, and a temporal learning-engagement analytics framework.
Long papers advancing methods and theory for collaborative knowledge building and convergence. Contributions include transitional spaces between group and individual learning, NLP-based semantic analysis of discourse, multimodal reflective assessment of socio-emotional interaction, and quantifying convergence via word-abstractness change detection.
Papers on dialogue and collaboration across varied settings, including relational attunement in making, medical students shifting from cooperation to true collaboration, and parents revoicing to guide children's computational thinking. Further talks examine how language shapes access to tools and how productive confusion unfolds during VR collaboration.
Researchers analyze how students articulate and develop their reasoning across science and math, drawing on knowledge-in-pieces and responsive teaching to trace intuitive resources in electromagnetism and evolution. The session also covers participation in optional self-explanation tasks and NGSS-aligned formative assessments that make first graders' life-science reasoning visible.
