Hakansson Computer technology can increase student interest in science topics by allowing students to become more involved in the analytic process of problem solving and, at the same time, freeing them from getting mired in highly technical procedures and repetitive mathematical computations. Yet despite the advantages of new technologies, including interactive software, teachers have found it difficult to integrate existing products into their teaching plans. Results of the Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) study establish the technical basis for the creation of a new software tool Science Analysis Multimedia ( SAM) to facilitate turning the promise of computer technology in K-12 science instruction into reality. SAM will consist of a shell (video playback and analysis capabilities as well as features for data gathering, computation, and presentation) and learning modules (video and text data organized in subtopics and groups according to major scientific themes); it is unique in that it is designed to function both as a content- neutral tool and as a modular science program. The objectives of the Phase II research focus on (1) developing and testing the prototype of the SAM software tool; (2) developing and testing prototype classroom materials; (3) developing and testing model teacher workshops; (4) assessing attitudes and achievement among various students who use SAM; and (5) developing means of making SAM available to the broadest spectrum of students. The project will contribute to the creation of a software tool employing state-of-the-art digital video technology and advanced programming techniques and combining many of the most useful computer applications to assist teachers in the delivery of the new science curriculum.

Hakansson 计算机技术可以让学生更多地参与解决问题的分析过程，同时使他们免于陷入高科技程序和重复的数学计算中，从而提高学生对科学主题的兴趣。 然而，尽管交互式软件等新技术具有优势，但教师发现很难将现有产品整合到他们的教学计划中。 第一阶段小型企业创新研究 (SBIR) 研究的结果为创建新的软件工具科学分析多媒体 (SAM) 奠定了技术基础，以促进将计算机技术在 K-12 科学教学中的承诺变为现实。 SAM 将由外壳（视频播放和分析功能以及数据收集、计算和演示功能）和学习模块（根据主要科学主题按子主题和组组织的视频和文本数据）组成； 它的独特之处在于它既可以作为内容中立的工具，也可以作为模块化的科学程序。 二期研究的目标集中在（1）开发和测试SAM软件工具原型； (2) 开发和测试原型课堂材料； (3) 开发和测试模型教师工作坊； (4) 评估使用 SAM 的不同学生的态度和成绩； (5) 开发使最广泛的学生能够使用 SAM 的方法。 该项目将致力于创建一个软件工具，采用最先进的数字视频技术和先进的编程技术，并结合许多最有用的计算机应用程序，以协助教师教授新的科学课程。
