Building Cognitive Bridges to Enhance Science Learning

这个项目为未来的小学教师提供了对科学关键概念的概念性理解。它建立在早期的科学学习研究和开发计划的基础上，这些计划使用基于计算机的系统来弥补学生在理解科学概念方面的不足。该项目为增加科学知识的整合提供了桥梁活动，并帮助学生将图式表示与物理现象联系起来。受赠人为这个项目提供的资金超过了NSF奖的同等规模。

This project provides a conceptual understanding of key concepts in science for prospective elementary school teachers. It builds upon earlier research and development programs in science learning that use a computer-based system to remedy deficiencies in student understanding of science concepts. The project provides bridging activities for increasing knowledge integration in science and for helping students connect schematic representations to physical phenomena in physics. The grantee provides funds for this project that are more than an equal match for the NSF award.
