可视化工具和高性能计算改变了化学研究的性质，并有望改变化学教学。然而，化学研究的核心图像可能会给化学初学者带来困难。为了使分子可视化工具在教育中发挥作用，学生必须能够解释他们生成的图像。认知科学家可以为新手如何感知分子可视化并赋予其意义提供有价值的见解。对于想要帮助学生通过分子可视化进行学习的化学教育工作者来说，教育工作者、计算机科学家和开发人员以及图形艺术家的进一步见解非常重要。由科学家、教育工作者、开发人员和认知心理学家组成的不同群体已经开始进行一系列国际合作来解决这个问题。这项工作是在国家科学基金会支持的 2001 年举办的科学教育中的分子可视化研讨会上发起的，并通过一系列小额赠款继续进行。这些小组正在研究增强学习的分子表示和可视化的特征、最能帮助学生了解分子结构和动力学的分子可视化的相互作用、分子建模在化学教学中的作用，以及分子可视化在化学学习中的研究的富有成果的方向。本文总结了研讨会参与者以及后续合作所确定的合作价值。 [化学。教育。资源。实践，2005，6（3），136-149]
Visualization tools and high performance computing have changed the nature of chemistry research and have the promise to transform chemistry instruction. However, the images central to chemistry research can pose difficulties for beginning chemistry students. In order for molecular visualization tools to be useful in education, students must be able to interpret the images they produce. Cognitive scientists can provide valuable insight into how novices perceive and ascribe meaning to molecular visualizations. Further insights from educators, computer scientists and developers, and graphic artists are important for chemistry educators who want to help students learn with molecular visualizations. A diverse group of scientists, educators, developers, and cognitive psychologists have begun a series of international collaborations to address this issue. The effort was initiated at the National Science Foundation supported Molecular Visualization in Science Education Workshop held in 2001 and has continued through a series of mini-grants. These groups are investigating characteristics of molecular representations and visualizations that enhance learning, interactions with molecular visualizations that best help students learn about molecular structure and dynamics, roles of molecular modeling in chemistry instruction, and fruitful directions for research on molecular visualization in the learning of chemistry. This article summarizes the value of collaboration identified by participants in the workshop and subsequent collaborations. [Chem. Educ. Res. Pract., 2005, 6 (3), 136-149]
