Greetings
We are pleased to welcome you to the International Conference on Learning Sciences and Educational Innovation (ICOLSEI) 2026. Following its successful inauguration last year, ICOLSEI is being held for the second time, hosted by the Korean Society for the Learning Sciences in collaboration with partner organizations. The conference provides a forum for researchers and practitioners from diverse fields to share insights and engage in meaningful dialogue on learning and educational innovation.
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence is not only transforming educational practices, but also raising fundamental questions about the nature of learning and human intelligence. As AI becomes increasingly embedded in processes of knowledge construction and problem solving, it is no longer sufficient to view learning as an individual or isolated process. Instead, learning must be understood as a dynamic, socially situated, and technologically mediated process that unfolds across multiple levels of interaction.
In this context, the learning sciences provide a distinct and essential
perspective. By examining how cognitive, social, and contextual processes
interact over time, the field seeks to uncover the mechanisms through which
learning emerges, evolves, and is sustained within complex systems. This
perspective enables us to move beyond fragmented approaches and toward
a more integrated understanding of learning in the age of AI.
ICOLSEI serves as a space for researchers and practitioners from diverse
disciplines to engage with these challenges. Through interdisciplinary
dialogue, the conference seeks to deepen understanding of learning
processes and explore ways to support human intelligence in
increasingly complex learning environments.
