אודות

חברת סגל בפקולטה לחינוך באוניברסיטת חיפה, ראש המעבדה ללמידת מערכות בגישה התפתחותית. במעבדה, אנו חוקרים כיצד אנשים במגוון גילאים והקשרים מבינים, בונים ולומדים אודות מערכות מורכבות דרך סביבות למידה דינמיות עם כלים אפיסטמיים. המחקר במעבדה משלב חינוך מדעי, חשיבה מחשובית ומדעי הלמידה.

מערכות מורכבות: תמיכה בפיתוח חשיבה והסקה של לומדים על מערכות מורכבות ותופעות מתהוות, באמצעות למידה מבוססת־מודלים, למידה שיתופית ולמידה גופנית־חווייתית — בתחומי מדע שונים, וכן בבריאות, ספורט, תנועה ותחבורה.

הבניה של ידע תחומי: המשגה מחדש של תחומי ידע ופרקטיקות הוראה לקידום הבנה עמוקה, התפתחות אפיסטמולוגית ונגישות חינוכית.

עיצוב לימודי: עיצוב של טכנולוגיות וסביבות למידה מותאמות להתפתחות —מודלים קוליים ללומדים עוורים, משחקי חשיבה מחשובית ללא מחשב לגיל הגן, פלטפורמה לבניית מודלים, סימולציות מבוססות תנועה פיזית, מציאות מדומה ללמידה ועוד.
