This project will examine the impact of two interactive information processing tools on science teaching and learning at lower undergraduate and upper high school levels. These tools, which have emerged from our prior research on technical and academic learning strategies are: Concept Mapping, a method of converting information to two-dimensional node-link displays, and Scripted Cooperation, an approach to orchestrating the joint processing of information by peer dyads. These tools will be used independently and interactively to enhance the extraction of scientific knowledge from experts, the presentation of this knowledge to students, and the subsequent processing of the communicated information. Expert maps of biological and statistical concepts will be developed and used in a series of six experiments designed to assess the impact of the information processing tools on a variety of science education outcomes. These experiments, which will involve approximately 660 college freshmen and high school seniors, will also examine Aptitude X Treatment interactions and transfer to other learning situations. The results of this experimentation will be used to further develop a model of science education and will be used as a basis for developing implementation materials for practitioners.

该项目将研究两种交互式信息处理工具对本科低年级和高中科学教学的影响。 这些工具是我们之前对技术和学术学习策略的研究中出现的，它们是：概念图（一种将信息转换为二维节点链接显示的方法）和脚本合作（一种协调同伴对信息联合处理的方法）。 这些工具将独立和交互地使用，以增强从专家那里提取科学知识、向学生展示这些知识以及对所传达的信息的后续处理。 将开发生物和统计概念的专家图并在一系列六个实验中使用，这些实验旨在评估信息处理工具对各种科学教育成果的影响。 这些实验将涉及大约 660 名大学新生和高中生，还将检查 Aptitude X 治疗的相互作用并转移到其他学习情境。 该实验的结果将用于进一步开发科学教育模型，并将作为为从业者开发实施材料的基础。
