写作同学互评系统研究与应用的国际动向——访匹兹堡大学写作同学互评系统创始人克里斯汀·迪艾特·舒安

Computer-assisted Peer Review System's Construction and Trend of Internationalized Development——An Interview with Professor Schunn, SWo RD System Founder in the Learning and Development Research Center in University of Pittsburgh

克里斯汀·迪艾特·舒安(Christian Dieter Schunn)教授是匹兹堡大学学习与发展研究中心实验室主任,高级科学家,美国、德国、瑞士国家科学基金会(National Science Foundation)评委,国际教育设计与发展协会前主席,美国教育心理学、认知科学、科学技术心理学、STEM国际教育、认知系统研究期刊编委。舒安教授主修认知心理学,在学习与发展研究中心的跨学科尖端技术领域展开长达二十年的计算机辅助智能学习理论和实证研究,自1998年开始撰书立说,据Google Scholar不完全统计,至少有十篇文章平均引用次数200次以上,是认知科学跨学科发展的开拓者、先行者,杰出的国际知名中青年高级科学家。舒安教授主要致力于研发计算机辅助写作互评系统(SWo RD)和STEM教育学习工具。其开发的SWo RD已在美国、加拿大、澳大利亚、南韩、新加坡、爱沙尼亚等国家的上千门学术英语写作教学中使用,为学科英语写作质量和数量提高起到了不可估量的作用。SWo RD积累的后台数据为人工智能科学中的自然语言处理、认知心理学、写作科学的研究提供了充分的实证研究基础。在此次访谈中,舒安教授分享了舒安实验室研发的SWo RD智能写作互评系统的建设全过程,涵盖计算机辅助写作互评系统的建设起因与价值、国际化应用与发展、系统竞争优势以及基于SWo RD系统的跨学科研究最新动态,从而给我国引进或建设计算机辅助学科写作教学和研究系统提供重要启示。

Professor Christian Dieter Schunn is the head of a Robotics research lab in Learning Research Development Center of University of Pittsburgh. As an excellent young senior scientist since 2011, he takes many social affiliations, like the grant reviewer of the National Science Foundation of the U.S., Germany and Switzerland, the editorial board member of Journal of Educational Psychology, Cognitive Science, Journal of Psychology of Science and Technology, International Journal of STEM Education, Cognitive Systems Research etc. Professor Schunn majors in Cognitive Psychology, and takes up 20 years of interdisciplinary study combining theoretical, technological, and problem-based computer information research, with very productive publications. It is estimated that 10 of his papers on average exceed 200 quotations. He is a recognized pioneer in the interdisciplinary study of Cognitive Science and a young well-known figure in the international academia. Professor Schunn is committed to the development of SWORD computer assisted peer review system and STEM learning tools. His SWORD system has been commercialized and popularly used in thousands of courses in the U.S., Canada, Australia, South Korea, Singapore, Estonia etc, and largely improved the quantity and quality of academic writing. The backstage data also supports a bunch of interdisciplinary researches like artificial intelligence, cognitive psychology and writing pedagogy. In this interview, Professor Schunn shared with us the establishment of SWORD computer assisted peer review system, mainly including the origin, development and internationalized trend of the system, so as to enlighten us in adopting or creating computer assisted peer review system of our own.
