• Knowing the fundamentals of spatial cognition in education: skill training and evaluation.

• Communicating effectively in English: written essay and oral presentation.

Lerninhalte

Motivation

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. If you need to communicate with a human being you must use words. What concepts could you use for the human to understand you? Which qualitative models can you use to obtain concepts from your numerical sensor data?

*Module II: Psychological studies proved that people with good spatial cognition skills, are more successful in STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Math). Other studies say that we humans can train these spatial skills. Thus: How can we measure our spatial cognition skills? How can we improve them? Can we build videogames to improve them? which kind of feedback must players receive about their mistakes? Is it possible to use those logic algorithms in artificial agents?

*Module III: From all the contents, what is the most interesting topic for you? Which would you like to write about? What have you learned? What can you teach us?

Prüfungsformen

To receive credits for this course must: (i) to attend the talks, (ii) write an essay about the topic of the seminar; (iii) to present the essay in a talk. Attendance to the classes will account for 40%. Presentations should be well-prepared, well-informed, and serve to help your classmates understand the facts and issues connected with the topic of your essay. It should enable your classmates to ask interesting questions about it. Ideally, plan on a 20 min duration for your presentation and a subsequent discussion. Presentations will account for 30% of your overall grade. The final essay will count for 30% of your overall grade.
