Thomas Reeves opened the third day of the AECT conference with an engaging keynote that used the value of conation to drive the argument for Authentic Learning. Conation is the component of cognition that consists of your intent to learn, and is under-considered. Authentic learning is very much collaborative problem-solving. He used the challenges from robots/AI to motivate the argument.
Thanks, Clark. Under considered is on the point. Problem-solving and troubleshooting triggers or nurtures people’s diagnostic mind. In this environment, learning is authentic, self-driven. Best, Ray
