ITR: Learning-Centered Design Methodology: Meeting the Nation's Need for Computational Tools for K-12 Science Education (Engineering Scaffolded Work Environments)

EIA-0085946索洛威，密歇根大学埃利奥特分校标题：信息技术研究：以学习为中心的设计方法论：满足国家对K-12科学教育计算工具的需求(工程脚手架工作环境)在知识型工作专业工作时学习可以得到适当设计的“脚手架工作环境(SCOTS)”的支持。几位研究人员组建了一个由来自四所主要大学的10名资深研究人员组成的独特团队，开发出一种制造糖果的原则性工程流程。这项工作将基于“科学探究”的知识工作环境，使用一种工程过程，通过在底特律和芝加哥的课堂上进行科学调查，为四到十一年级的学生制造学习科学的糖果。拟议研究的结果将是关于如何建立有效的、基于计算的工作环境的明确指导方针，以支撑和支持从事知识工作的个人。这一努力的目的是将目前看来是艺术的东西转变为一种原则性的软件工程方法。

EIA-0085946Soloway, ElliotUniversity of MichiganTitle: Information Technology Research: Learning-Centered Design Methodolodgy: Meeting the Nation's Need for Computational Tools for K-12 Science Education (Engineering Scaffolded Work Environments)Learning while working in the knowledge-work professions can be supportedby appropriately-designed "scaffolded work environments (SWEets)." Severalresearchers have assembled a unique team of 10 senior researchers from fourmajor universities to develop a principled engineering process forconstructing SWEets. The work will be based in the knowledge work contextof "science inquiry" using an engineering process to construct SWEets forfourth through eleventh graders learning science via scientificinvestigations in Detroit and Chicago classrooms. The results of theproposed research will be explicit guidelines on how to build effective,computationally-based work environments that scaffold and supportindividuals engaged in knowledge work. The aim of this effort is totransform what presently appears to be the art into a principled, softwareengineering approach.
