Science Writing and Revision Interactive Technology Environment (Science WRITE)

科学写，计算机支持的学习环境，将提供一个创新的解决方案，以帮助本科理科学生写得很好的挑战性问题，通过直接促进复杂的认知过程，是成功的关键。该系统的教育基础是一种称为程序促进的技术，随着学生从新手到专家作家的发展，这种技术培养了高层次思维的独立性。我们将通过万维网技术提供科学写作，因为它是唯一适合实现这些学习目标。 我们将设计，编写，编程，测试，完善和传播10个互动模块，其中包含一系列学习活动，帮助学生开发自己的规划和修订科学文件的独立过程。我们将这些模块相互整合，与我们最近开发的文档注释系统，与协作和知识构建工具，并与其他学科和话语知识的网络资源的链接。该系统将被设计为使用的国家的本科生谁拥有科学的写作项目在人体运动学。 科学写作将是第一个全面的资源（印刷或在线），是基于认知研究，并支持本科理科学生通过所有涉及规划和修改论文的过程。此外，该系统将被设计为一个研究实验室，我们可以继续调查和完善策略，帮助学生学习科学学科的写作。科学写作将展示这种教育方法的强大潜力，以提高本科生的写作和思维质量。

Science WRITE, a computer-supported learning environment, will offer an innovative solution to the challenging problem of helping undergraduate science students to write well, by directly facilitating the complex cognitive processes that are critical for success. The system's educational foundation is a technique called procedural facilitation, which fosters independence in high-level thinking as students develop from novice to expert writers. We will deliver Science WRITE through World Wide Web technology because it is uniquely suited for accomplishing these learning goals. We will design, write, program, test, refine, and disseminate 10 interactive modules containing an array of learning activities that will help students develop their own independent processes for planning and revising scientific documents. We will integrate these modules with each other, with a document annotation system that we recently developed, with collaborative and knowledge-construction tools, and with links to other Web resources for disciplinary and discourse knowledge. The system will be designed for use by the nation's undergraduate students who have scientific writing projects in kinesiology. Science WRITE will be the first comprehensive resource (in print or on line) that is grounded in cognitive research and that supports undergraduate science students through all the processes involved in planning and revising papers. In addition, the system will be designed as a research laboratory in which we can continue to investigate and refine strategies for helping students learn to write in scientific disciplines. Science WRITE will demonstrate the powerful potential of this educational approach to improve the quality of undergraduate writing and thinking.
