Introduction
Problems/questions are indispensable in the teaching and learning process. Adequate problems/questions give essential motivation for learning. Problems/questions with adequate quality in various testing conditions are believed to enable teachers to assess individual students' capability and readiness of transfer in specific domain knowledge. Despite this, there are still many areas in need of systematic investigation to promote knowledge and skills facilitated by problems/questions, including learning by problem solving and/or generation. For instance: what criteria constitute as adequate test item quality (in addition to frequently cited psychometric index like item difficulty, discrimination index); how to best assess a learner's capability with appropriate quality level within constraints (e.g., an optimal number of items, time limitation, etc.); any feasible metadata heuristics and/or techniques for problems/questions selection; any promising alternative strategies for compiling a sufficient number of problems/questions; any scaffolding techniques for question-generation implementation and instructional diffusion and so on.
From ICCE 2006 to 2022, we held a series of 15 workshops where we paid special attention to "questions/problems" in technology-enhanced learning. We have established a SIG of "Educational Use of Problems/Questions in Technology-Enhanced Learning" in 2015. This 16th workshop is the ninth workshop organized by the SIG. This continuous workshop aims to provide a good and timely opportunity to present and share the results and issues about "problems/questions" and to grow the SIG community.
We cordially invite presenters and participants who are interested in "problems/questions" in computer-supported education/learning environment. We would like to discuss the many facets and potential uses of "problems/questions" from a technological, computational, pedagogical, psychometrics, theoretical, sociological and administrative point of views. In addition to oral presentation sessions for research papers, we have a demonstration session for the computer-supported environments developed.
