Schedule and duration: Full day workshop (Face-to-Face) on March 18, 2024 in Kyoto, Japan!
Type of event: This workshop will be a 1) Introduction to Complex Dynamical Systems and Tutorial aiming to improve general literacy around selected non-linear methods, 2) Mini-symposium of 'work-in-progress' regarding the application of CDS to educational datasets, 3) Invited Speaker, and 4) Open discussions about scientific challenges of applying CDS to LA.
Type of participation: We invite participants who would like to submit their work during the workshop to submit an extended abstract of their presentation. Contributions can be work-in-progress or completed work (empirical applications of CDS methods to educational data). Contributions should be related to CDS in education, including recurrence quantification analysis, fractal analysis, wavelet analysis, and related themes.
It is important to note that authors of accepted contributions will not be included in the companion LAK proceedings.
Any interested delegate may also attend. Participants will take an active role in the tutorial part of the workshop and will engage in the discussion in the later part of the workshop.
