无论是在学校课堂还是在整个文化中，人们对角色扮演活动越来越感兴趣。尽管人们的兴趣日益浓厚，但角色扮演活动在数学和科学课堂上却很少见。在社会研究活动中，一个主要目标是帮助学生采用另一个人的观点。但数学和科学课通常不鼓励这种观点采择。科学通常被教授为对现象进行独立观察和分析的过程，而不是对现象的积极参与。在本文中，我们认为角色扮演活动可以在数学和科学教育中发挥强大的作用，特别是在新的“复杂性科学”的研究中。我们对我们组织的两次角色扮演活动进行了详细的描述和分析。每项活动都旨在帮助学生（以高度参与的方式）探索复杂系统的行为，帮助他们更好地了解简单的相互作用如何产生复杂的现象以及随机事件的可预测模式如何产生。
There is a growing interest in role-playing activities, both in school classrooms and in the culture at large. Despite this growing interest, role-playing activities are rare in mathematics and science classrooms. In social-studies activities, a major goal is to help students adopt the perspective of another person. But mathematics and science classes typically discourage this type of perspective-taking; science is usually taught as a process of detached observation and analysis of phenomena, not active participation within phenomena. In this paper, we argue that role-playing activities can play a powerful role in mathematics and science education—particularly in the study of the new “sciences of complexity.” We present detailed descriptions and analyses of two role-playing activities that we have organized. Each activity is designed to help students explore (in a very participatory way) the behaviors of complex systems, helping them develop better intuitions on how complex phenomena can arise from simple interactions and predictable patterns from random events.
