Several Members of the Task Group are involved with work on QRSER - Qualitative Reasoning for Stream Ecosystem Restoration and Recovery Workshop. There is more information on the Website. Introduction to the Education and Training Task Group This wide ranging and exiting Task Group is researching many areas of Education and Training and how these can be positively affected by the application of MBS and QR techniques. This Task Group is led by Dr Bert Bredeweg, of the University of Amsterdam. Bert Bredeweg has a research history in artificial intelligence and cognitive psychology. While working on the construction of software artefacts that are able to have a 'communicative nteraction' with humans, particularly with learners, the need for knowledgeable problem solvers became clear. Among others, this focussed his research on the development and use of qualitative reasoning techniques as the basis for 'knowledge communication'. Recent research includes model-based diagnosis of learner behaviour, explanation, and learning by building qualitative simulations. The latter emphasises the notion of knowledge construction as an important aspect of learning.
Description
