* Special Issue Theme:
"Dynamic Conceptual Representations for Learning Support"
Learning is much more than an informational process: it finally succeeds or
fails because of its integration in the person's mind and life situation.
This is the main reason that meta cognitive tools and methods have been
welcomed so much the last decades. Concept mapping is an obvious example of
how students may imagine what they (think to) know, and what they envisage
as not to know yet. Schematic representations have become the default format
for structuring information and expertise. This special issue attempts to
develop a further theoretical framework that underlies the additional
learning effects of conceptual representations. The scope of your
contribution may vary from didactical, psychological until its mathematical
and epistemic aspects. Please feel very welcome to bring forward your plans.
* Submission procedure:
1. The articles in the newsletter are limited to 1000 words. Over-length articles will
not be published.
2. The manuscripts should be either in Word or RTF format. Any figures used in the
contributions would be required separately in a graphic format (gif or jpeg). The
figures should also be embedded in the text at appropriate places.
3. Please send the manuscripts by email as attachment to [log in to unmask] (Subject:

Regards.
