BIO STATEMENT

KENNETH R. KOEDINGER is a professor of Human Computer Interaction and Psychology at Carnegie Mellon University. Dr. Koedinger has an M.S. in Computer Science, a Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology, and experience teaching in an urban high school. His multidisciplinary background supports his research goals of understanding human learning and creating educational technologies that increase student achievement. Dr. Koedinger has created Cognitive Models, computer simulations of student thinking and learning that are used to guide the design of educational materials, practices, and technologies. These Cognitive Models provide the basis for an approach to educational technology called Cognitive Tutors that support learning within rich problem-solving environments. Cognitive Tutors for mathematics, science, and language have been created, are in uses in 100s of schools, and have been repeatedly demonstrated to improve student learning. Dr. Koedinger’s research has contributed new principles and techniques for the design of educational software and has produced basic cognitive science research results on the nature of mathematical thinking and learning. Dr. Koedinger has authored over 250 peer-reviewed publications and has been a project investigator on over 45 grants. Dr. Koedinger is a co-founder of Carnegie Learning, Inc. and leads LearnLab (see learnlab.org), now the scientific arm of CMU’s Simon Initiative (see cmu.edu/simon).
