研究表明，当技术增强的可视化被设计为支持知识整合时，它们可以改善科学中的探究性学习。可视化在支持小学和中学的科学学习方面发挥着特别重要的作用，因为它们可以使看不见的复杂过程变得可见。我们确定了四个原则，可以帮助设计师和教师将可视化融入到课程材料中。这些原则要求(A)降低视觉复杂性以帮助学习者识别突出的信息，(B)搭建生成解释的过程的脚手架，(C)支持学生发起的复杂科学的建模，以及(D)使用多重关联表示法。我们描述了这些原则，讨论了结合这些原则的模式，并给出了几个科学学科的例子。
Research has shown that technology-enhanced visualizations can improve inquiry learning in science when they are designed to support knowledge integration. Visualizations play an especially important role in supporting science learning at elementary and middle school levels because they can make unseen and complex processes visible. We identify 4 principles that can help designers and teachers incorporate visualizations into curriculum materials. These principles call for (a) reducing visual complexity to help learners recognize salient information, (b) scaffolding the process of generating explanations, (c) supporting student-initiated modeling of complex science, and (d) using multiple linked representations. We describe the principles, discuss patterns combining the principles, and give examples from several science disciplines.
