MUPEMURE - Multiple Perspectives on Multiple Representations
Abstract
A large body of research has been concerned with learners' difficulties to detect and avoid misconceptions and to construct relations between multiple representations for building coherent mental representations of STEM topics. Moreover, much research has been invested in the questions of how to choose the optimal representation of knowledge to optimize cognitive load and how to design multiple representations for learning purposes. MUPEMURE builds on this work and takes it further by asking how learners can be facilitated to actively create and modify multiple representations and acquire multiple perspectives on science topics through specific, collaborative knowledge building activities. This new perspective on representations is addressing current online scenarios of knowledge construction, e.g., in social networking sites, where learners can create, upload, and discuss pictures and videos.
