The Importance of the Conative Domain in STEAM Education – Resources Available!

Opening Keynote Address

Friday the 23rd of June

 

 

Presented by

Thomas C. Reeves, Ph.D.

Professor Emeritus of Learning, Design, and Technology
College of Education, University of Georgia

Immersive 3D Games, Robotics, Augmented Reality, Intelligent Tutoring Systems…these and other cyberlearning technologies have enormous potential to enhance the outcomes achieved by 21st Century learners, especially with respect to the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and habits encompassed in the science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) movement. But what are these outcomes and what evidence is needed to warrant that they have been achieved? This presentation addresses this question and other important issues such as:

• What is the conative learning domain, and how does it related to the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains?
• How are today’s learners different from and similar to previous generations?
• What blends of pedagogical strategies and technological affordances are most effective for learners engaged in STEAM learning?
• How can enhanced assessment strategies employing authentic tasks be used to assess a comprehensive range of 21^st Century STEAM outcomes?
