The Science of Learning Institute seeks to create an integrated understanding of how learning varies as a function of basic learner characteristics (e.g. over the life span, among the typically developing child, the challenged learner, the gifted student), how these characteristics interact with different environments and learning settings to produce variation in learning outcomes, and how interactions with intelligent artificial learning systems can enhance and optimize human learning.
We all know Johns Hopkins as a place whose central mission is learning—the acquisition and dissemination of “knowledge for the world.” Today, we announce a signature initiative that focuses on understanding the process of learning itself.
