Context
Hosted by the FNR INTER-Mobility project "TEECM", Professor Dor Abrahamson (University of California, Berkeley), together with Catalina Lomos (LISER) and invited guest researchers, will lead a two-day public engagement event at the Luxembourg Science Center.
The event aims to bring current research in mathematics learning, embodied cognition, and educational digital technology directly to the public through hands-on activities and live demonstrations. Visitors will have the opportunity not only to interact with innovative learning technologies, but also to discover how researchers study learning processes using multimodal data collection methods, such as eye tracking.
Three interactive research stations will be presented in the mathematics area of the Science Center:
- OЯTHO (OЯTHO ∙ EDRL) – a collaborative tabletop game designed to investigate how people learn mathematics through coordination and joint action (Moderator: Dor Abrahamson).
- TriO (TriO ∙ EDRL) – a virtual reality environment extending this research into immersive collaborative learning (Moderator: Justin Dimmel).
- Icosahedron (Embodied Professional Development ∙ EDRL) – hands-on geometry construction activities exploring embodied approaches to 3D geometry (Moderator: Catalina Lomos and collaborators).
In addition, visitors will be able to discover Catalina Lomos’ research on collaboration and mathematics learning with digital technologies through live demonstrations of eye-tracking technology. Using mobile eye-tracking glasses, researchers will show how attention, coordination, and communication can be studied in real time while participants engage with OЯTHO, TriO, and geometry construction activities. The demonstrations will illustrate how eye-tracking data help researchers better understand how people learn together through coordinating their actions, perceptions, and language to solve mathematical problems.
