GlobalEd 2（GE2）是一套以技术为媒介的，以问题为基础的学习（PBL）模拟中年级学生，利用社会科学的多学科性质作为学生学习和应用科学知识和概念的扩展课程空间，同时也丰富了他们对社会科学的理解。本文报告了实施GE2课程的结果，重点是水资源与535个七年级和八年级的学生从郊区和城市的学校系统。结果表明，积极的变化，学生的写作自我效能感，追求未来的科学教育机会的兴趣和他们的书面科学论证的质量后，参与GE2模拟。课程的影响和未来的研究方向进行了讨论。
GlobalEd 2 (GE2) is a set of technology-mediated, problem-based learning (PBL) simulations for middle-grade students, that capitalises on the multidisciplinary nature of the social sciences as an expanded curricular space for students to learn and apply scientific literacies and concepts, while simultaneously also enriching their understanding of the social sciences. This paper reports the results of an implementation of the GE2 curriculum focused on water resources with 535 seventh and eighth grade students from both suburban and urban school systems. The results indicate positive changes in students’ writing self-efficacy, interest in pursuing future science educational opportunities and the quality of their written scientific argumentation after participation in a GE2 simulation. Curricular implications and future research directions are discussed.
