Podcast Overview

Humans of Learning Sciences aims to amplify the diverse perspectives of scholars in the Learning Sciences. Rather than focusing on interviewee's research agendas or scholarly accomplishments, Humans will foreground what's typically unspoken: Why we do what we do, what inspires and challenges us, and what we have learned about ourselves and others by studying and supporting learning across settings. Humans of LS is co-produced by Dr. Mon-Lin Monica Ko and Andrew Gregory Krzak, with generous support from the Learning Sciences Research Institute at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Dr. Antti Rajala - University of Eastern Finland and Dr. Moises Esteban Guitart - University of Girona: Employing Utopian Methodologies in Research and Practice

<p>When you hear the word <em>Utopia</em> - what comes to mind? The images that it conjures up for you may seem <em>unimaginable in the context of </em>ecological crises, multiple wars, political strife, and the pandemic that characterizes our world. </p> <p>Today, I get to talk with two scholars who are working to help us understand this idea of <strong>utopian methodologies </strong>– a research approach that can help us envision, implement, sustain, and critically evaluate educational activity systems – an approach that can help us take concrete, actionable steps that can guide us toward a more just future in our work as learning scientists. </p> <p><br>My guests today are Drs. Antti Rajala and Moises Esteban Guitart. Antti is a Senior Researcher at the School of Educational Sciences and Psychology at the University of Eastern Finland. Moises is a Professor of Psychology and the Director of the Institute of Educational Research of the University of Girona. </p> <p>-------------------</p> <p>Works Discussed:</p> <p><br></p> <p>Esteban-Guitart, M., Iglesias, E., Serra, J.

Dr. Thomas M. Philip - University of California at Berkeley and Dr. Jeremy Roschelle - Digital Promise: Humanism at the dawn of the AI age: teacher roles as generative AI enters the classroom

<p>If you’ve been listening to the news over the last few months, you know that there’s been incredible interest, debate, and lots of speculation about the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the years to come. I’ve been really interested in the kinds of verbs and metaphors that have been used to describe the relationship between humans and AI - as collaborators, as replacements, or as a form of surveillance, for instance. </p> <p>And, I&#39;ve been curious about the view that learning scientists take on these emerging technologies. I’m thrilled to be bringing together two scholars who have been thinking about this –  both the opportunities and challenges that arise as AI technologies make their way into schools and classrooms. </p> <p>Today, we’ll be in conversation with two scholars whose works I’ve LONG admired. We’ll be talking with Drs. Jeremy Roschelle and Thomas M. Philip. Jeremy is the Executive Director of Learning Sciences Research at Digital Promise, and Thomas is Professor and Director of the Teacher Education program at the University of California, Berkeley. </p> <p>---</p> <p>Works Discussed:</p> <p><br></p> <p>Philip, T.M., Souto-Manning, M., Anderson, L., Horn, L., Carter Andrews, D., Stillman, J., &amp; Varghese, M.

Dr. Jennifer Langer Osuna - Stanford University and Dr. Karlyn Adams Wiggins - Portland State University: Classroom collaboration as a site for understanding identity, authority, becoming

<p>If you’ve ever been a part of a team, you no doubt have had experiences with successful and not-so-successful collaborations.  What makes collaborations fruitful, and, why and when do they stall or dead-end? Our field has been grappling with these questions for quite some time, both in virtual and in-person learning environments. Collaborations typically involve two or more learners who come together to jointly analyze problems and develop a plan or solution to address it. But, my guests today want to problematize this straightforward notion of collaboration, and push us to think about collaboration not just as a process of joint knowledge construction, but as a situated process in which students exercise agency, navigate and even shift power dynamics, and negotiate their social and intellectual authority and identity. </p> <p>Our guests today are Drs. Jennifer Langer Osuna and Karlyn Adams-Wiggins. Jenny is an Associate Professor at the Graduate School of Education at Stanford University, and Karlyn is an Associate Professor of Applied Developmental Psychology at Portland State University. </p> <p>---</p> <p>Works Discussed:</p> <p>Packer, M.
