We propose to develop a series of 12 exhibits on the topic of feedback. We will create an introductory cluster of 4-5 exhibits situated in our "Patterns" section to introduce the basic concepts. We sill situate each of the remaining 708 exhibits in the area of the museum that suits it phenomenologically. A continuity in the theme of feedback will be created through Feedback Pathways (both a field trip Pathway and a general use Pathway) and associated maps which will be available in the introductory cluster These will guide both visitors and school classes from area to area with feedback as the unifying element. The feedback behavior exemplified in these exhibits will be accessible to both young and older audiences and will be strongly connected with the "Themes of Science" listed in the California State Science Framework for Pre-College Science Education. The exhibits will receive extensive use in our teacher training programs at both the elementary and secondary level. Exhibit evaluation will take place at the level of extensive prototyping by exhibit development and teaching staff and on a more formal level in conjunction with a formative evaluation program. We will disseminate this work in a publication describing inexpensive classroom versions of Exploratorium exhibits. In addition, we will experiment with the dissemination of our work to other museums through the Internet Computer Network.

我们建议围绕反馈主题开发一系列 12 个展览。 我们将在“模式”部分创建一个由 4-5 个展品组成的介绍性集群，以介绍基本概念。 我们将把剩下的 708 件展品分别放置在博物馆与其现象学相适应的区域中。 反馈主题的连续性将通过反馈路径（实地考察路径和通用路径）和相关地图来创建，这些地图将在介绍性集群中提供。这些地图将以反馈为统一元素，引导游客和学校班级从一个区域到另一个区域。 这些展览中举例说明的反馈行为将适合年轻和年长的观众，并将与加州大学前科学教育科学框架中列出的“科学主题”密切相关。 这些展品将在我们的小学和中学教师培训项目中得到广泛使用。 展览评估将由展览开发和教学人员在广泛的原型制​​作水平上进行，并在更正式的水平上与形成性评估计划结合进行。 我们将在一份出版物中传播这项工作，描述探索馆展览的廉价课堂版本。 此外，我们将尝试通过互联网计算机网络向其他博物馆传播我们的作品。
