In this paper we present our ongoing research project on UAV operator training and cognitive workload assessment for safe piloting to exemplify the potential for conducting interdisciplinary research that incorporates insights from learning sciences and cognitive neuroscience. The goal of the project is to devise cognitive neuromarkers to assess the cognitive workload experienced by UAV operators and to monitor their development of expertise through analysis of optical brain imaging data and flight-training videos.

Combining scaffolding for content and scaffolding for dialogue to support conceptual breakthroughs in understanding probability
Kazak, Sibel; Wegerif, Rupert; Fujita, Taro (2015-11-01)
In this paper, we explore the relationship between scaffolding, dialogue, and conceptual breakthroughs, using data from a design-based research study that focuses on the development of understanding of probability in 10-12 year old students. The aim of the study is to gain insight into how the combination of scaffolding for content using technology and scaffolding for dialogue can facilitate conceptual breakthroughs. We analyse video-recordings and transcripts of pairs and triads of students solving problem...
Bridging Brain and Educational Sciences: An Optical Brain Imaging Study of Visuospatial Reasoning
Çakır, Murat Perit; Izzetoglu, Meltem; Shewokis, Patricia A.; Izzetoglu, Kurtulus; Onaral, Banu (2011-10-22)
In this paper we present an experimental study where we investigated neural correlates of visuospatial reasoning during math problem solving in a computer-based environment to exemplify the potential for conducting interdisciplinary research that incorporates insights from educational research and cognitive neuroscience. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) technology is used to measure changes in blood oxygenation in the dorsolateral and inferior prefrontal cortex while subjects attempt to solve t...
Connecting science communication to science education : a phenomenological inquiry into multimodal science information sources among 4th and 5th graders
Gelmez Burakgazi, Sevinç; Yıldırım, Ali; Feinstein, Noah; Department of Educational Sciences (2012)
Science communication, as a multidisciplinary field, serves to transfer scientific information to individuals to promote interest and awareness in science. This process resembles science education. Rooted in science education and science communication studies, this study examines the 4th and 5th grade students` usage of prominent science information sources (SIS), the features of these sources, and their effective and ineffective uses and processes in communicating science to students. Guided by situated le...
Aligning learning design and learning analytics through instructor involvement: a MOOC case study
Gomez-Sanchez, Eduardo; Er, Erkan; Dimitriadis, Yannis; Bote-Lorenzo, Miguel L.; Asensio-Perez, Juan I.; Alvarez-Alvarez, Susana (2019-08-01)
This paper presents the findings of a mixed-methods research that explored the potentials emerging from aligning learning design (LD) and learning analytics (LA) during the design of a predictive analytics solution and from involving the instructors in the design process. The context was a past massive open online course, where the learner data and the instructors were accessible for posterior analysis and additional data collection. Through a close collaboration with the instructors, the details of the pre...
Investigation of Pre-service Teachers’ Reasoning Abilities and Learning Approaches in Inquiry Based Learning Environment
Özgelen, Sinan; Hacıeminoğlu, Esma; Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül (2008-03-30)
The purposes of this study were to investigate the effect of inquiry based science laboratory course on pre-service teachers’ (PTs) reasoning abilities and learning approaches, the relationship between PTs’ learning approaches andreasoning abilities, and how well do the learning approach and reasoning ability predict PTs’ achievement. The sample of this study consisted of 83 pre-service elementary science PTs and elementary mathematics PTs, minoring in science education. Data were collected from Science L...
