9450532 York This project investigates the use of virtual reality technology as an aid in the development of abstract concepts from mathematics and physical science in African-American students at the secondary school level. These students will explore in a multi-modal fashion abstract concepts which derive from the very basic notions of polygons and polyhedra(geometry), permutation groups(algebra), path in a graph (topology), counting and estimation (combinatorics), and motion and forces(Mechanics). In this pilot project virtual reality technology is investigated as a tool in developing multi- modal (visual, tactile, and auditory) learning experiences for primarily low-verbal learners. Two starter VR environments will be developed and tested over the next year. The goal of the project is to begin to understand the non-verbal acquisition and use of abstract mathematical, physical, and algorithmic concepts as demonstrated through motoric responses.

9450532约克这个项目调查使用虚拟现实技术作为一种援助，从数学和物理科学在非洲裔美国学生在中学水平的抽象概念的发展。 这些学生将以多模态的方式探索抽象概念，这些概念来自多边形和多面体（几何学），置换群（代数），图中的路径（拓扑学），计数和估计（组合学）以及运动和力（力学）的基本概念。 在这个试点项目中，虚拟现实技术被调查作为一种工具，在发展多模式（视觉，触觉和听觉）的学习经验，主要是低语言学习者。 两个入门级VR环境将在明年开发和测试。 该项目的目标是开始理解抽象的数学，物理和算法概念的非语言习得和使用，通过运动反应来证明。
