WORKSHOP ON MOTIVATION and AFFECT IN EDUCATIONAL SOFTWARE
CALL FOR PAPERS
Workshop in association with the 12th International Conference on
Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED 2005)
18-22 July, Amsterdam
http://www.informatics.sussex.ac.uk/users/gr20/aied05/
TOPIC
Motivation and affect (e.g., basic affective reactions such as
like/dislike; specific emotions such as frustration, happiness, anger;
moods; attitudes) often play an important role in learning situations.
There have been various attempts to take motivation and affect into
account both at design time and at run time in AIED systems, though
the evidence for the consequential impact on learning is not yet strong.
Much research needs to be carried out in order to better understand this
area. In particular, we need to deepen our knowledge of how affect and
motivation relate to each other and to cognition, metacognition,
learning context and teaching strategies/tactics. This workshop is
intended bridge the gap existing between previous AIED research,
particularly in meta-cognition and motivation, with the ever-increasing
research in emotions and other affective components.
OBJECTIVES
By bringing together researchers in the area, the workshop will be a
forum to discuss different approaches with the aim of enriching our
knowledge about how to create effective and affective learning
environments. Also, it is expected to be a forum on which to address the
appropriateness of defining bridges that could bring about new ways of
relating cognitive and affective aspects of learning. At the end of the
workshop we expect to reach agreements on which are the relevant
motivational and affective elements in the learning contexts.
SUBMISSION
We invite submissions of research papers (maximum length 8 pages, font
size no smaller than 12 pt). All papers should include a 200 word
abstract and should address one or more of the research questions
