Arnon Hershkovitz

I'm a Senior Lecturer in the Mathematics, Science and Technology Education Department, School of Education, Tel Aviv University (Israel), head of the Technology and Learning graduate program. I'm a member of the Knowledge Technology Lab, which is part of the university's Science and Technology Education Center.

My research lies in the intersection of learning, teaching, and technology. Mostly, I'm interested in the skills requested for, and shaped by, today's settings of learning and teaching, which are part of a cyberlearning ecosystem; these are studied using Learning Analytics and other methodologies. See more details in the SLICE Lab page.

Endeavors Abroad

Sabbatical. During the academic year 2019/20, I've been on a sabbatical at Northwestern University's Center for Connected Learning and Computer-Based Modeling (CCL)

Post-Doctoral Fellowship. During the years 2010-2013, I've had a wonderful 3-year period in the U.S. for a post-doctoral fellowship. I was a Post-doctoral Research Associate in the Department of Human Development at Teachers College Columbia University (NYC), under the mentorship of Prof. Ryan Baker (during which time I was also affiliated as a Post-doctoral Research Fellow at Pittsburgh Science of Learning Center). Before that, I was part of the Science Assistments Project, directed by Prof. Janice Gobert at Worcester Polytechnic Institute(WPI), where I spent my first two years of post-doctoral fellowhip.

Editing Experience

I had previously served as co-editor of Technology, Instruction, Cognition and Learning, and of Journal of Learning Analytics.

Education

I've earned my Ph.D. in Science Education from the School of Education, Tel Aviv University; an M.A. in Applied Mathematics (an interdisciplinary program) and a B.A. in Mathematics and Computer Science (held by the Department of Mathematics), both from the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology.
