Objectives

• Understanding what is a Qualitative Representation, a Qualitative Model, and what Qualitative Spatial Reasoning involves.

• Knowing the fundamentals on spatial cognition & education: skill training and evaluation.

• Practising how to do an effective oral presentation and how to write a good essay.

• Improving English language skills.

Lerninhalte

This seminar provides an introduction to Qualitative Descriptions and Reasoning from a Cognitive point of view. It is divided into 2 learning modules and 1 working module. The topic of each module is introduced as follows:

*Module I: If you were a robot, you would see the world pixelized through your camera. How would you explain to a human being what do you see? What concepts could you use for the human to understand you? How can you compare them?

*Module II: Psychological studies proved that people with good spatial cognition skills, are successful in STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Math). Other studies say that we humans can train these spatial skills. Therefore:

–How do we measure our spatial cognition skills? How do we improve them? Can we build systems that help us to improve them?

–Can a robot have spatial cognition skills? What logical thinking must the robot have?

*Module III: From all the contents, what is the most interesting topic for you? Which one would you like to explore/learn/research more? How? Theoretically or practically? Let’s explore it together. What have you learned? What can you teach us?
