VISTA: Visual Spatial Thinking Activities

VISTA项目（视觉/空间思维活动）是一个 课程开发/研究项目旨在产生 富集/增强科学导向的VST库 为K-8年级的学习活动。 大学科技 教育家、科学家、认知心理学家和 教育技术专家将与36个典型的 教师协会开发和完善VISTA项目 活动分三年进行。 该项目将产生以下成果： K-级儿童VST能力评估基线 8; 2）一组新的VST评估工具; 3）a 大量创新的VST科学学习 活动，包括实践经验、互动 基于录像带的体验，基于计算机的体验， 询问示威。 这些浓缩材料将 在全国范围内提供， 所有现有的K-8科学项目

Project VISTA (VIsual/Spatial Thinking Activities) is a curriculum development/research project designed to produce a bank of enrichment/enhancement science-oriented VST learning activities for grades K-8. University science educators, scientists, cognitive psychologists and educational technologists will collaborate with 36 exemplary Teacher Associates to develop and refine Project VISTA activities over a phased three-year period. The project will produce the following outcomes: 1) a baseline of assessed VST abilities for children in grades K- 8; 2) a battery of new VST assessment instruments; 3) a large collection of innovative VST science learning activities, including hands-on experiences, interactive videotape-based experiences, computer-based experiences, and inquiring demonstrations. These enrichment materials will be made available nationally to build upon and supplement all existing K-8 science programs.
