Knowledge Constructive Jigsaw as an Adaptive Learning Framework: Its Design Principles and Network Supports

I will report our current endeavor to create a learning community aiming for better quality education, by changing classroom practices from teacher-centric to learner-centric. Our efforts are focused on creating intellectually challenging collaborative learning based on a framework called "constructive interaction, " which has been identified as a basic skill of human beings to learn from social interaction. The design is called the "Knowledge Constructive Jigsaw, " which encourages the learners engage in actively explaining what each learner knows to integrate them and create an answer to the shared problem. In this presentation, I will explain the basic framework and how it can be implemented in regular classroom activities, with some outcomes. I will then touch upon how this renovation effort opens new research fields, including the formation of a networked, sustainable learning community.
