Coming Soon
The Learning Sciences Portfolio Program is an interdisciplinary, research-based program designed to provide students with a deeper and broader understanding of how people learn, methods and contexts for studying learning, and the design of innovative environments that support learning. The program is designed to introduce graduate students to different theoretical and methodological traditions for studying learning, to bring novel perspectives to disciplinary communities, to encourage interdisciplinary research, and to broaden their professional networks, among other goals. A desired outcome of the program is for students to be better prepared to address important scientific or societal problems related to learning. The program will draw upon the expertise of faculty who study learning in both naturalistic and laboratory settings as well as in both formal (schools) and informal (e.g., museums) settings.
