Modelling the sustainability of a primary school digital education curricular reform and professional development program
Francesco Mondada, Barbara Bruno, Laila Abdelsalam El-Hamamsy, Emilie-Charlotte Monnier
Sustaining changes in teachers’ practices is a challenge that determines the success of curricular reforms, from which Digital Education (DE) is not exempt. As the literature on sustainability is considered “scarce” and “scattered”, long-term studies model ...
2023Work in progress: Imagining / Designing informal spaces for learning.
The paper presents ICAP (interactive, constructive, active and passive) as the theoretical framework to understand the role of informal learning spaces as an active learning tool when students have informal meetings to work on projects. Students in our En ...
Aalborg Universitetsforlag2023A combined genetic algorithm and active learning approach to build and test surrogate models in Process Systems Engineering
François Maréchal, Julia Granacher
In Process Systems Engineering, computationally-demanding models are frequent and plentiful. Handling such complexity in an optimization framework in a fast and reliable way is essential, not only for generating meaningful solutions but also for providing ...

Charlotte Malterre-Barthes, Summer Saud Islam
This acclaimed and bestselling book by design and research practice Material Cultures brings together a series of short, incisive essays on the cultures, systems, and infrastructures that shape the architectural industry and the destructive ecologies it fo ...
Mack2023Action Levers towards Sustainable Wellbeing: Re-Thinking Negative Emissions, Sufficiency, Deliberative Democracy
Systems theory defines leverage points as places to intervene in order to change a system. Points with high impact on system behavior are notoriously hard to act upon, and indeed most policy intervention is based at the lowest level (#12 in Donella Meadows ...
EPFL2023FROM GROUP WORK TO TEAM WORK: COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS IN THREE EUROPEAN INSTITUTIONS
Addressing the complex challenges of sustainability demands for good teamwork abilities for future technicians and engineers. In our three institutions we adopted project-based learning to facilitate the development of these skills – but is this enough? Si ...
2023Simulated Learners in Educational Technology: A Systematic Literature Review and a Turing-like Test
Simulation is a powerful approach that plays a significant role in science and technology. Computational models that simulate learner interactions and data hold great promise for educational technology as well. Amongst others, simulated learners can be use ...
SPRINGER2023Learning From Heterogeneous Data Based on Social Interactions Over Graphs
Ali H. Sayed, Stefan Vlaski, Virginia Bordignon
This work proposes a decentralized architecture, where individual agents aim at solving a classification problem while observing streaming features of different dimensions and arising from possibly different distributions. In the context of social learning ...
IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2023Digital Intervention for Collaborative and Human-Centered Activities in Design-Based Learning Scenarios
Denis Gillet, Isabelle Barbara Marie-Hélène Cardia
Training science and engineering students to become responsible citizens and professionals requires novel and creative pedagogical approaches, such as design thinking. This concept relies on processes and tools to develop creativity and problem-solving ski ...
2023How are primary school computer science curricular reforms contributing to equity? Impact on student learning, perception of the discipline, and gender gaps
Francesco Mondada, Barbara Bruno, Laila Abdelsalam El-Hamamsy
Background Early exposure to Computer Science (CS) and Computational Thinking (CT) for all is critical to broaden participation and promote equity in the field. But how does the introduction of CS and CT into primary school curricula impact learning, perce ...
