The main purposes of this project are to integrate cognitive and sociocultural approaches to cognition, then to build a framework for understanding model-building and conceptual change in science that transcends current debates about individual versus sociocultural explanations of scientific practices. The proposed research employs a `cognitive-historical` method of analysis, which creates a synthesis between historical and contemporary studies of scientific practices, on the one hand, and cognitive science investigations of human cognition, on the other. By focusing on complex scientific thinking this research will contribute to pressing cognitive science toward integration of phenomena usually treated in isolation. Further, it is expected to lead to new insights useful to educational researchers who are developing model-based curricula for K-12 science courses.

该项目的主要目的是将认知和社会文化方法整合到认知中，然后建立一个框架，以理解科学中的模型构建和概念变化，超越目前关于科学实践的个人与社会文化解释的争论。拟议的研究采用了一种“认知-历史”的分析方法，一方面在科学实践的历史和当代研究与人类认知的认知科学调查之间建立了一个综合。通过关注复杂的科学思维，本研究将有助于推动认知科学将通常孤立处理的现象整合起来。此外，它有望为正在为K-12科学课程开发基于模型的课程的教育研究人员提供有用的新见解。
