CISE/EHR/ENG/MPS Collaborative Research on Learning Technologies: Visualization Research Center

Carraher, David TERC, Inc.CISE/EHR/ENG/MPS学习技术合作研究：可视化研究中心TERC公司获得5万美元，为期6个月，计划建立一个科学和数学可视化研究中心。中心的目标是：(1)开展可视化技术发展与认知解释的跨学科实证研究；(2)通过创建创新的可视化课程工具来改善K-12数学和科学教育；(3)为可视化在学习和理解数学和科学中的作用的新概念框架做出贡献。为了促进可视化作为历史、文化和心理基础的广泛理解，可视化研究中心将不仅从自然科学和数学科学，而且从人文科学和社会科学中汲取专业知识。目前正在与美国国家艺术与科学院、麻省理工学院媒体实验室、加州大学圣地亚哥分校的CalSpace、宾夕法尼亚州立大学、波士顿大学医学中心医院和克兰布鲁克研究所等机构建立合作关系。

9616410 Carraher, David TERC, Inc. CISE/EHR/ENG/MPS Collaborative Research on Learning Technologies: Visualization Research Center TERC, Inc. has been awarded $50,000 for a 6-month period to plan a research Center for the study of scientific and mathematical visualization. The goals of the center are: (1) to undertake interdisciplinary empirical research on the technological development and cognitive interpretation of visualization technologies; and , (2) to improve K-12 math and science education by creating innovative visual curricular tools and (3) to contribute toward a new conceptual framework on the role of visualization in learning and understanding mathematics and science. To promote a broad understanding of visualization as historically, culturally, and psychologically grounded, the Visualization Research Center will draw upon expertise not only from the natural and mathematical sciences but also from the humanities and social sciences. Partnerships are being established with the National Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab, the CalSpace at University of California-San Diego, Pennsylvania State University, the Boston University Medical Center Hospital, and the Cranbrook Institute, among others.
