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

EIA-0085946 Soloway，ElliotUniversity of Bogan标题：信息技术研究：以学习为中心的设计方法：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）在知识工作专业工作的同时学习可以通过适当设计的“脚手架工作环境”（SWEets）来实现。“几位研究人员已经组建了一个由来自四所主要大学的10名高级研究人员组成的独特团队，以开发一种用于构建SWEets的原则性工程过程。 这项工作将基于“科学探究”的知识工作背景，使用工程过程为四年级到十一年级的学生通过底特律和芝加哥教室的科学调查来学习科学。 该研究的结果将是明确的指导方针，如何建立有效的，基于计算的工作环境，脚手架和支持个人从事知识工作。 这项工作的目的是将目前看来是艺术的东西转变为有原则的软件工程方法。

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.
