Lecture on “ICAP: A Theory of How Students Engage to Learn”
by 2023 Yidan Prize for Education Research Laureate 
Professor Michelene Chi

The Faculty of Education at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) proudly presents the lecture on “ICAP: A Theory of How Students Engage to Learn” to be delivered by Professor Michelene Chi, Regents Professor and Dorothy Bray Endowed Professor of Science and Teaching at Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College, Arizona State University, in December 2023. Professor Chi is the 2023 Yidan Prize for Education Research Laureate.

In this lecture, Professor Chi will discuss the ICAP theory which categorises student engagement into four physical ways: Interactive (collaborating), Constructive (generating), Active (manipulating), and Passive (attending). These four different overt ways may correspond to undertaking four different sets of covert thinking processes, thereby resulting in decreasing levels of learning. Supported by hundreds of studies, ICAP guides pedagogy and evaluates the engagement modes of instructional activities for students. Additional applications of ICAP will also be presented.

Members of the media are welcome to attend this event. Details are as follows:

Professor Michelene Chi is a cognitive science researcher with a focus on how students learn. Her seminal ICAP framework defines active learning by differentiating students’ learning activities as passive, active, constructive or interactive, and it compares their relative effectiveness. Her earlier research investigated the role of knowledge in children’s competence as well as in differences in the representations between adult novices and experts. She discovered an important phenomenon that self-explaining increases learning more than receiving explanations, and pioneered a method of analyzing verbal explanations that is both quantitative and qualitative. She has done seminal studies on many other learning methods, including learning from being tutored, from collaborating, and from observing and overhearing tutorial dialogues. Professor Chi is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Education, and the recipient of numerous recognitions and lifetime achievement awards in both psychology and education, including the 2023 Yidan Prize for Education Research.

2023年一丹教育研究獎得獎者Michelene Chi教授
「ICAP理論: 如何讓學生參與學習」講座

香港大學教育學院邀請亞利桑那州立大學瑪麗．盧．富爾頓教師學院董事教授、多蘿西．布雷科學與教學冠名教授Michelene Chi來臨香港大學主講題目為「ICAP理論: 如何讓學生參與學習」講座 (ICAP: A Theory of How Students Engage to Learn)。Michelene Chi教授是2023年一丹教育研究獎得獎者。

在本次講座中，Michelene Chi教授將介紹ICAP的理論和應用。該理論把學習方式分為互動學習(Interactive)、構建學習 (Constructive)、主動學習 (Active) 和被動學習 (Passive) 四個類別。在數百項研究的支持下，ICAP 能指導教學方法並評估學生參與教學活動的模式，有助教師建構有效提高學生課堂參與度的框架。

現誠邀各媒體出席此講座，活動詳情如下：

Michelene Chi 教授是一名認知科學研究者，主要研究學生如何學習。她的 ICAP 框架將學生的學習方式分為互動、構建、主動和被動學四個模式，並比較它們的相對效果。她早期的研究探討知識與兒童能力的關係，以及新手和專家在解決問題時的差異。她發現「自我解釋」比「接收解釋」更能提高學習效果這一重要現象，亦開創了一種既定量又定性的分析方法。

Michelene Chi是美國藝術與科學院和美國國家教育科學院的成員，在心理學和教育學領域多次獲得表彰和終身成就獎，其中包括 2023年一丹教育研究獎。
