The conference theme, “Learning in the Disciplines,” offers the field an opportunity to engage in conversations about how the study of learning can and should interface with disciplinary practices and ways of knowing.

This conference theme highlights central Learning Sciences questions such as:

How can disciplinary practices and understandings inform Learning Sciences research, theory, and design?
How do learning processes vary across disciplines? What, if anything, is constant?
How are disciplinary practices and knowledge represented in educational settings, designs, and practices? How might they be reconsidered?
How can collaborative research and comparative perspectives contribute to Learning Sciences research and practice?

Submissions are encouraged that speak to these and other themes associated with the Learning Sciences, such as Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL).

The conference will feature several invited panel sessions designed to address the intersection of learning in the disciplines and the Learning Sciences, including:

Identity as a lens on learning within and across the disciplines
Representational practices and modeling in the disciplines
Designs for disciplinary learning
Two panel discussions will focus on core Learning Sciences areas that are undergoing interesting disciplinary developments:
- Geographical Sciences
- Computational Sciences
