Description

Dr Shaaron Ainsworth
University of Nottingham

When people are learning complicated new ideas, interpreting and constructing visual or multiple forms of representation can bring unique benefits. In other words, representations are powerful tools for learning but like all powerful tools they need careful handling if learners are to use them successfully. Moreover, even after many years of active research, it is not clear how representations mediate learning nor which activities on what representations help specific learners in particular contexts. In this talk I will illustrate some of the many facets of learning with representations in order to try to move closer to an answer to these questions.
