Abstract

In this paper, we present the conceptual model we propose to specify observation needs. Because our work takes place in a learning scenario re-engineering context, the observation process is prepared while instructional designers define their learning scenarios. Our work aims at helping these designers to specify the informations they want to get by the observation of the learning situation progress in order to improve the underlying learning scenario for future uses. In this paper we show how the observation needs specification can be guided by informations specified in learning scenarios. We will show how we use the Engeström triangle to model the observation context and how, from the context, some observables will be proposed and used by some observation techniques we propose to use, to define the informations to get by the observation process.
