General research goals: 1.Create good project-orientedtechnology-enhanced learning (TEL) designs2.Improve education
Additional goals: 1.Contribute to whole scholarship / close gaps(between research & teaching, and researcher & lecturer)
2.Contribute to the “Pasteur quadrant” in the learning sciences(theory and design)
Integrating research, teaching and learning through wikis
Specific “research” goal:• Explore affordances of wiki technology for a variety of educational strategies and tactics.
3
Evolution of the technology-enhancedlearning (TEL) infrastructure: 3 strands
(2) control
(1) production& sharing
(3) others - notcovered here

…a set of design experiments, over a longer time spanallowing to test where using a Mediawiki makes sense and how these should be configured to support various purposes

A shared note taking, literature review and writing-to-learn environment
Knowledge community model (Bereiter and Scardamaglia)
Integrated scholarship (Boyer, Gardner)

Is this research ?Answer 1: No !1.very little generalization2.(almost) no data3.no comparison (just some kind of monographies)4.No in-depth investigation of processes5.No computer science6.…..
Answer 2: Yes a bit1.it is part of a long term line of research started in 20022.it is just part (technology) of the design part (data pending)3.design is principled and based on (other) research4.it has been published in 2 reviewed conference papersSchneider, D.K., Benetos, K. & Ruchat, M. (2011). Mediawikis for research, teaching and learning. In T. Bastiaens & M. Ebner (Eds.), Proceedings of World Conference on Educational Multimedia, Hypermedia and Telecommunications 2011 (pp. 2084-2093).

Yes, it is part of so-called design-based research

Whole scholarship according to Boyer (1997)
Be a good researcher:
+ Publish quality articles-------------------------------- - Ignore technology - Ignore others’ ideas
Be useful as knowledgemediator:
+ Pull ideas together + Share knowledge with all + Be able to use technology + Teach well----------------------------------- - Be a bad researcher
CHOOSE
(1) Discovery
(2) Integration(3) Application(4) Teaching
Or improve by finding synergy through common activities (and tools) ….

The Pasteur quadrantnot science science
applied Edison (invention)
Pasteur (both)
not applied (some) student research
Bohr (pure theory)
Model 1: Teachers read research and implement it in their classrooms: failsModel 2: Summary guides: fail Model 3: General professional development: can work Model 4: The policy route: fails Model 5: The long route: can workModel 6: Design experiments: can work (locally)
Typology of research and practice in education
19.04.23 http://edutechwiki.unige.ch/en/ 16
First principles of education (Merrill, 2002)
1. The demonstration principleLearning is promoted when learners observe a demonstration
2. The application principleLearning is promoted when learners apply the new knowledge
3. The activation principleLearning is promoted when learners activate prior knowledge or experience
4. The integration principle:Learning is promoted when learners integrate their new knowledge into their everyday world
5. The task-centered principleLearning is promoted when learners engage in a task-centered instructional strategy
Activity-based learning – my starting point (Schneider, 2002)

No significant difference betweeneducational designs
(Nettles et al. 2000, Johnson et al, 2000, Russel 2001).
Structured designs(Kirschner et al. 2006)
Teacher quality (many factors)
Infrastructure withgood affordances
Some difference Small long term projects
18
Affordances in TEL….the bottom line(Clark, Kozma,etc.).
Slower / cumbersome / anti-community:e-learning systems,workflow systems
Faster / easier / community-oriented:Street technology
→ CMSs, Blogs, etc.
→ Wikis → Mediawikis (Wikipedia technology)
Anything goes !(media don’t make the difference.)
