Roy D. Pea is David Jacks Professor of Learning Sciences and Education at the

Learning Sciences and on learning technology design and made significant contributions since 1981 to the understanding of how people learn with technology.[1]

Education

Pea was born in

Rhodes Scholar, working with his advisor Jerome Bruner
.

Career and research

After studying child language and cognitive development from 1975 to 1980, his research concerns were attracted to understanding how innovations in computing and communications technologies can significantly influence learning, thinking, collaboration, and educational systems. Pea is a key figure in the development of the

International Society for the Learning Sciences
.

Pea was one of the first research scientists to build the

Bank Street College Center for Children in Technology (1981–1986), the first social sciences center devoted to studying children's learning with technology. Later, recruited by John Seely Brown and Jim Greeno to contribute to the development of the intellectual agenda of the Palo Alto, California–based think-tank, The Institute for Research on Learning (1988–1991), he developed their K-12 learning technologies emphasis, with pioneering work on distributed intelligence,[5] learning by multimedia authoring,[6] and science learning with dynamic diagramming tools.[7]

Research centers and industry advisor

In 1996, after a year at the Center for Advanced Studies in the Behavioral Sciences, Pea was recruited to SRI International, where he worked with colleagues to build a major national Center for Technology in Learning,[8] until recruited to Stanford University in 2001. At Stanford, Pea co-founded Stanford's H-STAR Institute (Human Sciences and Technologies Advanced Research) with Byron Reeves and is now H-STAR Institute Director.[9] He was also co-director of the National Science Foundation-funded LIFE Center,[10] one of six national Science of Learning Centers, whose studies seek to inform better bridging of the sciences of informal and formal learning from 2004 to 2017.

In addition to serving as founding editor of the Cambridge University Press Series Learning in Doing: Cognitive, Social and Computational Perspectives since 1987,[11] Pea was co-author of the 2000 National Academy Press volume How People Learn,[12] Co-Editor of the 2007 Book Video Research in the Learning Sciences,[13] and co-author of the 2010 US National Educational Technology Plan.[14]

Pea served from 1999 to 2009 as a founding director for Teachscape,[15] a company he co-founded with Mark Atkinson in 1999 that provides comprehensive K-12 teacher professional development services incorporating web-based video case studies of standards-based teaching and communities of learners. In addition to academic research and teaching, he advises a number of companies, non-profits, research centers, projects and federal agencies or foundations involved in learning with technologies. Pea is also a learning sciences advisor to HIV/AIDS education nonprofit TeachAids.[16]

He is a Fellow of the

International Society for the Learning Sciences.[17] His former doctoral students include Shuchi Grover.[2]
