Enhancing Children's Understanding of Science Through Collaborative Creation of Animated Pictoral Models

9453091刘易斯这个项目的目标是帮助儿童理解科学中的现象，允许他们和他们一起工作的成年人创建和操纵动画图画模型。该项目结合了对建模及其在小学环境中的影响的深入研究，以及先进计算技术的发展，即图片重写系统，使模型的创建比今天容易得多。这项技术将支持交互式课堂讨论，在课堂上可以创建、操纵和比较模型，以回应学生的问题和建议。它还将支持个人学生或团队在他们自己选择的主题上进行的项目工作。***

9453091 Lewis The goal of this project is to help children understand phenomena in science by allowing them and the adults with whom they work to create and manipulate animated pictorial models. The project combines intensive study of modelling and its impact in an elementary school setting with the development of advanced computing technology, the pictorial rewrite system, that make model creation dramatically easier than it is today. The technology will support interactive classroom discussion, in which models can be created, manipulated, and compared in response to student questions and suggestions. It will and also support project work by individual students or teams working on topics of their own selection. ***
