In the afternoon, Singaporean scholars gave four reports, chaired by Jia Jiyou. Professor Quek Choon Lang shared a case study of tracking a beginning teacher’s attention and teaching actions. Professor Chen Wenli made a report titled “Form Cooperation to Collaboration: Classroom Knowledge Improvement Supported by Technology and Pedagogy". Professor Teo Wei Peng pointed out the limitations of traditional neuroimaging technology and introduced the application of near infrared spectroscopy in understanding human motion control.
