Knowledge Building Summer Institute 2026, Nanjing, Yangzhou

RE-ENVISIONING EDUCATION THROUGH KNOWLEDGE BUILDING-AI INNOVATION

知识建构作为学习科学领域的开创性理论，重新定义了学习与知识创造的本质——它强调学习者的主体性、持续改进理念以及集体认知责任，倡导学习者主动参与知识的创造、完善与共享。

进入人工智能时代，知识建构为人机协同学习、教学创新、教师专业发展以及课程变革等关键议题提供了系统的理论支撑与切实可行的实践路径。为深入探讨知识建构与人工智能的融合，重新思考教育形态，支持教师创新并推动课程改革，由南京师范大学教育科学学院主办、南京师范大学附属邗江实验小学协办的“2026 国际知识建构研讨会”于 2026 年 3 月 24日至 27 日在南京、扬州举行。

会议日程主要分为两个部分，在南京的会议日程以学术研讨为主，来自世界各地的知识建构研究者以知识建构理论进展，技术发展，人机协同等为核心做学术研讨与汇报。在扬州的日程以教学交流为主，南京师范大学附属邗江实验小学作为知识建构教学改革示范学校，向知识建构专家汇报教学成果，各国知识建构教师交流自身的教学经验并与参会专家讨论。

Knowledge Building, a seminal theory within the Learning Sciences, continues to reshape our understanding of learning and knowledge creation in the various iterations of the Knowledge Building Summer Institute. The annual event gathers researchers, practitioners and students to provide a platform of sharing and symmetric knowledge advancement by highlighting the importance of Learner Agency, Continual Idea Improvement, and Collective Cognitive Responsibility.

In the era of AI, Knowledge Building offers crucial theoretical and practical guidance for human-AI collaboration, pedagogical innovation and professional development. To bridge the theoretical insights with real-world practices, the 2026 Knowledge Building Summer Institute was held from March 24 to 27 in Nanjing and Yangzhou. This international conference was hosted by the School of Education Science at Nanjing Normal University, in partnership with Hanjiang Experimental Elementary School, an affiliate KB principle-based demonstration school.

The conference agenda was divided into two main parts. The Nanjing session was dedicated to academic research to highlight global breakthroughs in KB and AI integration. The Yangzhou session focused on practical progress in the advancement and applicability of knowledge building in schools. Hanjiang Experimental Elementary School shared its stories with international experts. The sessions were conducted in hybrid fashion to allow interaction with researchers and educators from around the world, who engaged in valuable exchange of insights and collaborated on new strategies for the modern classroom.
