  Zusammenfassung
  Mind wandering (MW) is defined as a shift of attention to task-unrelated internal thoughts that is pervasive and disruptive for learning performance. Current state-of-the-art gaze-based attention-aware intelligent systems are capable of detecting MW from eye movements and delivering interventions to mitigate its negative effects. However, the beneficial functions of MW and its trait-level tendency, defined as the content of MW experience, are still largely neglected by these systems. In this pilot study, we address the questions of whether different MW trait-level tendencies can be detected through off-screen fixations’ frequency and duration and blink rate during a lecture viewing task. We focus on prospective planning and creative problem-solving as two of the main MW trait-level tendencies. Despite the non-significance, the descriptive values show a higher frequency and duration of off-screen fixations, but lower blink rate, in the creative problem-solving MW condition. Interestingly, we do find a highly significant correlation between MW level and engagement scores in the prospective planning MW group. Potential explanations for the observed results are discussed. Overall, these findings represent a preliminary step towards the development of more accurate and adaptive learning technologies, and call for further studies on MW trait-level tendency detection.

  Zusammenfassung
  The omnipresence of distracting information constantly challenges our limited attentional resources. Consequently, approaching educational goals effectively and concentrating on them often becomes difficult for learners. Looking at existing training tools to strengthen executive functions, we often notice the use of artificial tasks and settings that limit the transferability of the acquired skills to everyday life situations. Addressing this gap, the talk introduces an example of how people can be supported to set goals, implement periods of focused work, and integrate a meaningful break management by using an attention training software during regular study and work activities. The computer-based intervention influences the entire lifecycle of self-regulated learning and can easily become part of daily computer use. It enables users to redefine their existing goals into training tasks and thus motivates them to achieve sustainable training results. As its core, the software has an intelligent feedback mechanism that visually discloses the value of staying focused against getting distracted, building on a model of the expected value of cognitive control. Results from field experiments already indicate the benefit of this approach over a control condition, in particular related to task-specific learning. The talk will take a more fine-grained look at patterns of distractibility across different task settings and discuss related benefits of embedding this novel approach to executive functions training across formal and informal learning contexts and workplace scenarios.

  Zusammenfassung
  Twenty-first century learning is characterized by an increasing number of augmented learning environments (e.g., multimedia, educational games, virtual reality, intelligent companions). The general idea is to support learning by integrating elements or mechanisms to optimize learning outcomes and experiences. While these augmented learning scenarios seem promising, effects on learning appear heterogeneous. Therefore, a better understanding of underlying mechanisms is crucial. For instance, new interactive features and technologies might increase learners’ motivation and interest in the topic but at the same time they are prone to overstrain their cognitive resources. Importantly, we can investigate these learning situations by augmenting them with process measures (e.g., EEG, eye tracking, fMRI, log files) or leverage data mining techniques to analyze large educational datasets, allowing a more fine-grained analysis of the learning process. Modern technologies such as virtual reality devices or game engines advance how learning content can be presented. Computer-based technology enables us to augment learning contexts and bring intelligent companions into individual learners’ daily lives. In the current symposium, we address important factors of learning, i.e., working memory, attention, emotions, and self-regulation, with augmented measures, materials, and contexts. In particular, studies on multimedia, educational games, virtual reality, and intelligent companions will be presented. Consequently, our symposium provides insights into late-breaking research innovations in the field of augmented learning. It also critically discusses potential limitations and downsides of this field of research to pave the way for a future research agenda.

  Zusammenfassung
  Affect-adaptive tutoring systems detect the current emotional state of the learner and are capable of adequately responding by adapting the learning experience. Adaptations could be employed to manipulate the emotional state in a direction favorable to the learning process; for example, contextual help can be offered to mitigate frustration, or lesson plans can be accelerated to avoid boredom. Safety-critical situations, in which wrong decisions and behaviors can have fatal consequences, may particularly benefit from affect-adaptive tutoring systems, because accounting for affecting responses during training may help develop coping strategies and improve resilience. Effective adaptation, however, can only be accomplished when knowing which emotions benefit high learning performance in such systems. The results of preliminary studies indicate interindividual differences in the relationship between emotion and performance that require consideration by an affect-adaptive system. To that end, this article introduces the concept of Affective Response Categories (ARCs) that can be used to categorize learners based on their emotion-performance relationship. In an experimental study, N = 50 subjects (33% female, 19-57 years, M = 32.75, SD = 9.8) performed a simulated airspace surveillance task. Emotional valence was detected using facial expression analysis, and pupil diameters were used to indicate emotional arousal. A cluster analysis was performed to group subjects into ARCs based on their individual correlations of valence and performance as well as arousal and performance. Three different clusters were identified, one of which showed no correlations between emotion and performance. The performance of subjects in all other clusters benefitted from negative arousal and differed only in the valence-performance correlation, which was positive or negative. Based on the identified clusters, the initial ARC model was revised. We then discuss the resulting model, outline future research, and derive implications for the larger context of the field of adaptive tutoring systems. Furthermore, potential benefits of the proposed concept are discussed and ethical issues are identified and addressed.

  Zusammenfassung
  Over the last years, we could observe increasing awareness for sustainability and climate change in society. Individual sustainable behavior emerges by various influencing factors, resulting in different degrees of sustainable behavior. An important factor is the intention behind pro-environmental behavior, which can be goal-directed, motivated by other goals, or habitual. At the same time, good intentions do not always translate into sustainable actions. To develop interventions that promote pro-environmental behavior, we need to shed light on cognitive mechanisms underneath sustainable thoughts and how they stimulate actions. We conducted ten semi-structured interviews with representative individuals asking about their intentions, influencing factors of sustainability and examples from everyday life. Based on their scope of reflection, knowledge and predominant intention, five different sustainability personas were identified: sustainability-oriented, open-minded, opportunistic, careless and dismissive. We present personas, discuss the validation process and investigate cognitive mechanisms of reflection in the context of sustainable behavior.

  - Zusammenfassung
  - BibTeX
  Zusammenfassung
  Bees are significant contributors to our diverse flora, as they pollinate plants and trees. In addition to honeybees, their “wild sisters” provide further support with this task. There are more than 560 different species of wild bees known in Germany alone. Unlike honeybees, they lack protective beehives and the care of beekeepers. More than half of them is endangered or already became extinct. Potential consequences of this development are far reaching and devastating for the diversity of our ecosystem. As wild bees play such a crucial role, the question emerges why we do not protect them adequately. The answer is rather simple: Most people lack knowledge about these species, their living conditions, and the tremendous impact on our lives. In this talk, we introduce a project that has the goal to change this situation and build a sense of responsibility already at an early stage in life. A mobile application for classroom settings is developed and integrated into project workshops, inviting students on an insightful journey into the world of wild bees. By combining hands-on environmental actions with virtual game elements, this approach strives to sensitize students at a young age to the dramatic consequences if wild bees were to become extinct. The project follows a child-centered design process and builds on findings from multimedia learning research, for example, on intelligent agents that accompany learning and provide feedback and support. The talk will present results from an evaluation of the combined concept in school contexts and discuss potential future directions.

  Zusammenfassung
  Short-sighted decisions can have devastating consequences, and teaching people to make their decisions in a more far-sighted way is challenging. Previous research found that reflecting on one’s behavior can boost learning from success and failure. Here, we explore the potential benefits of guiding people to reflect on whether and how they thought about what to do (i.e., systematic metacognitive reflection). We devised a series of Socratic questions that prompt people to reflect on their decision-making and tested their effectiveness in a process-tracing experiment with a 5-step planning task (N =265). Each participant went through several cycles of making a series of decisions and then either reflecting on how they made those decisions, answering unrelated questions, or moving on to the next decision right away. We found that systematic metacognitive reflection helps people discover adaptive, far-sighted decision strategies faster. Our results suggest that systematic metacognitive reflection is a promising approach to boosting people’s decision-making competence.

  Zusammenfassung
  Learning requires a multitude of metacognitive activities that support knowledge acquisition and direct the learning process. These include selecting and planning goals, applying, observing and evaluating learning strategies as well as regulatory efforts required for goal achievement. We introduce an example of how learners can be supported to set goals, implement periods of focused work and integrate a meaningful break management by using the AI-based training software ACTrain. Metacognitive feedback based on principles of machine learning conveys the value of staying focused on goal-related activities. Pilot results already indicate positive effects of the presented approach and suggest further investigation. We will explore potentials for integrating such approach in school settings and how this could affect the role of teachers.

  Zusammenfassung
  Bienen gehören zu den wichtigsten Nutztieren und tragen durch die Bestäubung der Pflanzen und Bäume maßgeblich zum Erhalt der Vielfalt unserer Flora bei. Neben den Honigbienen helfen insbesondere deren „Wilde Schwestern“ entscheidend bei dieser wichtigen Aufgabe – im Gegensatz zu Honigbienen jedoch ohne den Schutz eines Bienenstocks und die Pflege durch Hobby- oder Berufsimkerinnen und -imker. Wie zahlreiche Berichte zeigen, sind die Lebensräume von Wildbienen nachweislich bedroht, einige Arten bereits ausgestorben und die entstehenden Konsequenzen für den Ernteertrag kritisch. Umweltpsychologische Modelle der Bewusstseinsbildung können eine fundierte Basis für die Entwicklung nachhaltig wirksamer Interventionen zum Schutz von Wildbienen bilden. Besonders in einer jungen Altersgruppe lässt sich ihre Wirkung durch die gezielte Verbindung mit digitalen Medien steigern. So könnten durch umsichtiges Handeln in einer mobilen App gute Lebensbedingungen für eine Wildbiene erreicht und die Konsequenzen des eigenen realen Handelns in Projektwerkstätten über die virtuelle Welt direkt erfahrbar werden. Eine solche Intervention könnte spätere Landwirtinnen und -wirte dazu animieren, einen achtsamen Umgang mit Pestiziden zu pflegen oder angehende Hobbygärtnerinnen und -gärtner zu einer insektenfreundlichen Blühpflanzenwahl bewegen. Auf diese Weise birgt die Verbindung von Umwelt und App ein hohes Potential zum Anstoß weitreichender gesellschaftlicher Veränderungen.

  Zusammenfassung
  Lernen erfordert vielfältige metakognitive Aktivitäten, die den Wissensaufbau und die Steuerung des eigenen Lernprozesses unterstützen. Dazu zählen die Auswahl und Planung von Zielen, die Anwendung, Beobachtung und Bewertung von Lernstrategien sowie regulierende Eingriffe zum Erreichen gesetzter Ziele. Der Artikel zeigt beispielhaft auf, wie eine KI-gestützte Trainingssoftware Lernende dabei fördern kann, sich Ziele zu setzen, Phasen fokussierten Arbeitens umzusetzen und ein sinnvolles Pausenmanagement einzubinden. Metakognitives Feedback bildet aufbauend auf Prinzipien des maschinellen Lernens den Wert zielgerichteten Handelns ab. In Pilotbefunden zeigen sich bereits erste positive Effekte dieses Ansatzes, die eine weitere Exploration nahelegen. Basierend darauf wird eine mögliche curriculare Einbindung im Lernfeld Schule sowie Implikationen für die Rolle der Lehrkräfte diskutiert.

  Zusammenfassung
  Culture and ethnicity influence how a person learns and views the world. Experiences at home influence students’ learning fundamentally. However, cultural diversity in classrooms as well as issues such as stereotypes and biases have yet to be addressed in the German education system. School materials i.e., do many times not reflect the cultural diversity in modern classrooms, portraying and promoting stereotypes and biases. These (unconscious) biases are at the center of the problem and have yet to gain the attention and importance they deserve. Since stereotypes and biases are learned constructs, it is of utmost importance to provide tools to unlearn/relearn incorrect constructs and form new synapsis. The existing challenges have thus far failed to be addressed by generic teaching techniques and pedagogy. A new strategy and teaching approach in education is needed to address these issues in an attempt to reduce the current achievement gaps across students of different cultural backgrounds and to incorporate experiences of all students in classroom interactions. In this workshop, we will introduce an interactive teaching and learning approach to promote reflection in culturally responsive teaching (CRT). The instructional design method of Thiagi will serve as an innovative tool to successfully implement CRT, raise awareness of existing stereotypes/ (unconscious) biases, and thus model a way to reduce stereotype-threat. By integrating diversity in form of CRT in the curriculum, we can fundamentally change existing patterns and enable every student to understand and connect to academic content.

  Zusammenfassung
  Preparing the next generation for an ever-changing environment is of utmost importance in Higher Education. Though cultural diversity is highly prevalent in modern societies, (implicit) biases, stereotypes and racism maintain a persistent yet mostly overlooked part of everyday life. Many students are not aware of their biases. Hence, it is imperative for them to undergo a critical self-reflection process about their beliefs and (unconscious) biases. To induce this process, raise awareness and confront them with potential (unconscious) biases and stereotypes, 404 university students in teacher training and vocational education completed an Implicit Association Test (IAT) on skin color before watching a lecture discussing biases and stereotypes. The preliminary results show a variety of reactions after taking the test, ranging from denial and anger to discomfort and surprise. We will discuss possibilities to support students in leveraging the resulting cognitive dissonance as an opportunity to begin their individual self-reflection process.

  Zusammenfassung
  To stay focused on their chosen tasks, people have to inhibit distractions. The underlying attention control skills can improve through reinforcement learning, which can be accelerated by giving feedback. We applied the theory of metacognitive reinforcement learning to develop a training app that gives people optimal feedback on their attention control while they are working or studying. In an eight-day field experiment with 99 participants, we investigated the effect of this training on people’s productivity, sustained attention, and self-control. Compared to a control condition without feedback, we found that participants receiving optimal feedback learned to focus increasingly better (f = .08, p < .01) and achieved higher productivity scores (f = .19, p < .01) during the training. In addition, they evaluated their productivity more accurately (r = .12, p <.01). However, due to asymmetric attrition problems, these findings need to be taken with a grain of salt.

  Zusammenfassung
  We can all feel exhausted after a day of work, even if we have spent it sitting at a desk. The intuitive concept of mental effort pervades virtually all domains of human information processing and has become an indispensable ingredient for general theories of cognition (Anderson, 2007; Shenhav et al., 2017; Lieder & Griffiths, 2015). However, inconsistent use of the term across cognitive sciences, including cognitive psychology, education, human-factors engineering and artificial intelligence, makes it one of the least well-defined theoretical constructs across fields. A number of recent approaches lay the foundation for a consensus by offering formal accounts of mental effort. Yet, reaching a multifield-wide consensus on the operationalization of mental effort will require cross-talk between different empirical and computational approaches, including symbolic architectures, non-parametric Bayesian statistics and neural networks. The purpose of this full-day workshop is to review and integrate these emerging perspectives.

  Zusammenfassung
  Wie lassen sich Lernsituationen bestmöglich auf die Lernenden abstimmen, um damit individuelle und gesellschaftlich relevante Bildungsziele nachhaltig zu erreichen? Die Antwort darauf suche ich durch die Verbindung von pädagogischer Theorie, psychologischer Methodik und intelligenten Algorithmen. Die daraus entstehenden intelligenten Technologien bieten die Möglichkeit, auf individuelle Bedarfe unterschiedlicher Lernender in verschiedenen Kontexten gezielt einzugehen. Dazu müssen sie allerdings fähig sein, sich auf spezifische Charakteristika der Lernenden und der Situation einzustellen. Dies bedeutet, beobachtete Zustände korrekt zu interpretieren und mit dem notwendigen Maß an Unterstützung angemessen darauf zu reagieren. In meinen Forschungsprojekten setze ich mich mit Aspekten der Lernenden und der Lernsituation auseinander, die für die Schaffung solcher Systeme wichtig sind. Im Beitrag möchte ich vier ausgewählte Schwerpunkte meiner Arbeit vorstellen.

  Zusammenfassung
  Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht ausgehend von der Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning (CTML) einen aufmerksamkeitsbezogenen Erklärungsansatz für den seductive detail Effekt. Dieser Effekt resultiert aus dem Einfügen interessanter, jedoch irrelevanter Informationen in einen Lerntext, die die Lernleistung beeinträchtigen. Im Besonderen steht hier die Hypothese im Fokus, dass sich seductive details stärker auswirken, wenn bereits eine Beeinträchtigung der Aufmerksamkeit vorliegt. Im Rahmen einer experimentellen Erhebung mit 53 Studierenden wurde anhand eines 2x2-faktoriellen, multivariaten Designs die Anwesenheit von seductive details (durch seduktive Textpassagen), sowie be- einträchtigter Aufmerksamkeit (durch die Einblendung ablenkender Systemmit- teilungen), gezielt manipuliert und deren Effekt auf die Behaltens- und Verstehensleistung, sowie die Lernzeit erfasst. In den Analysen zeigte sich eine signifikante Verlängerung der Lernzeit durch das Einfügen seduktiver Textpassagen, und darüber hinaus wurde auch ein moderierender Einfluss des bestehenden Aufmerksamkeitsniveaus deutlich. Weder die Behaltens- noch die Verstehensleistung verringerte sich jedoch signifikant durch das Hinzufügen von seductive details oder die Induktion beeinträchtigter Aufmerksamkeit, und auch eine signifikante Wechselwirkung zwischen beiden Aspekten wurde nicht deutlich. Daher wird abschließend die Relevanz komplexer statistischer Analyseverfahren zur weiteren Erhellung der zugrundeliegenden Wirkmechanismen diskutiert.
