Title:
Scientific Literacy 2.0: Knowledge, Understanding and Trust

Abstract:
"In the lecture, the concept of informed trust in science is introduced as a core of scientific literacy. Science education traditionally focuses on conveying basic scientific knowledge necessary for understanding natural phenomena and on providing insight into the methods required to generate this knowledge. This understanding enables students to apply scientific principles in their everyday lives. However, when faced with contradictory statements from various sources, including pseudoscientific experts, citizens need to decide whom to trust regarding specific concerns, such as those related to the COVID-19 pandemic. At such times, informed trust in science is essential.
Using the COVID-19 pandemic as an example, the presentation analyzes shifts in public perceptions of science and identifies factors that encourage or impede informed trust in science. By emphasizing informed trust as a core element of scientific literacy, students will be more prepared to tackle complex scientific challenges and make informed decisions based on reliable scientific evidence. Drawing upon these insights, recommendations are provided for key themes in natural science education that can cultivate informed trust in science."

#IWMLecture: We are happy to invite you to the next talk about
"Exploring the Affordances of Immersive #VirtualReality for #Learning"
held by Prof. Dr. Jan L. Plass on Tue, February 11, from 2.30-3.30 pm. Access data for the online lecture via email: redaktion[at]iwm-tuebingen.de #VR #digitalMedia #LearningSciences

We are happy to invite you to the next talk of our IWM Lectures held by Prof. Dr. Jan L. Plass on Tuesday, February 11, from 2.30-3.30 pm (large conference room 2, IWM / Schleichstr. 6, Tübingen).

The talk addresses a broader audience, everyone interested is welcome to join.
Participation online is also possible (please send an e-mail to get the link: redaktion(at)iwm-tuebingen.de ).

Immersive virtual reality (VR) is the use of computer-generated simulations of a three-dimensional environment that users can interact with, typically via a head-mounted display (HMD), specialized controllers, and audio devices. Research has found mixed results in the effectiveness of VR compared to other media on learning, raising the question, How does VR foster learning? In this talk I argue that an affordance approach can provide insights into this question and explain why some studies find positive effects, while others do not. I will present findings from our own VR research at NYU CREATE and discuss the tech stack our lab is using for this research.

The talk will be held in presence and online. Location: Large conference room, Schleichstr. 6, Tübingen Monday, December 02, 2024 from 12:30 pm – 2:30 pm Abstract: Understanding the mechanisms underlying group decision-making is a cornerstone of social psychology. In order to shed light on these mechanisms, group researchers typically conduct mediation analyses. In my talk, I will argue that almost all previous studies in group research fail to establish causality when conducting mediation analyses. This is because they typically rely on measurement-of-mediation designs which means that they measure the proposed mediating variable. (...) In my talk, I will give three examples on how to conduct manipulation-of-mediator designs in group decision-making research.

Save the date: "Reimagining Human-#AI Partnerships for 21st Century #Learning" - #IWMLecture with Prof. Sidney K. D’Mello (University of Colorado Boulder) on Mon, Nov 11, from 12.30 pm – 2.30 pm.

Abstract:
Learning is a highly social activity situated within cultural systems, yet most contemporary approaches to incorporating AI in education, emphasize personalizing and optimizing learning to individual students. I’ll highlight an alternate vision for how AI can support 21st century learning, moving from a facilitator of personalized one-on-one learning, to a social, collaborative partner helping students and teachers work and learn more effectively, engagingly, and equitably. Drawing from the NSF National AI Institute for Student AI Teaming (www.isat.ai), I’ll discuss responsible innovation and polycultural approaches for developing ethical AI technologies including: (1) foundational AI to understand and facilitate small group collaborations in real-world classrooms; (2) new paradigms for orchestrating classrooms for student-AI teaming; and (3) broadening participation through co-design of AI-enabled curricula for hands-on student-centered investigations.
