This proposal will fund the planning of Modeling Across the Curriculum, a major program on the use of computer-based modeling on student learning and inquiry skills in secondary science. The goal of the planning grant is to develop detailed partnerships, research design, and organizational and technical plans needed for a successful large-scale longitudinal study.The Modeling Across the Curriculum project will conduct a longitudinal study of the impact of highly interactive modeling tools and associated learning materials on secondary level student science problem solving, reasoning, and performance on standardized tests. The program, a large-scale collaboration integrating software and curriculum development, and significant data analysis tasks, will build on smaller-scale studies of the educational value of using, modifying, and building interactive computer-based models when supported with appropriate materials and teacher professional development. In addition, it will afford a unique opportunity to combine prior developments into a coherent curriculum multi-year strand with a common format and set of tools. A detailed analysis of the reliability, validity, and appropriateness of measures will be conducted in two urban partner schools and then will expand to include approximately 50 districts nationwide.

这项建议将资助规划跨课程建模，这是一个关于在中学科学中使用基于计算机的建模来提高学生学习和探究技能的主要方案。 规划补助金的目标是制定详细的合作伙伴关系，研究设计，以及组织和技术计划所需的一个成功的大规模的纵向study.The建模跨课程项目将进行纵向研究的影响，高度互动的建模工具和相关的学习材料对中学水平的学生科学问题解决，推理和标准化考试的表现。 该计划是一个大规模的合作，整合了软件和课程开发，以及重要的数据分析任务，将建立在使用，修改和建立基于计算机的交互式模型的教育价值的小规模研究的基础上，当支持适当的材料和教师专业发展。 此外，它将提供一个独特的机会，将联合收割机以前的发展结合成一个连贯的多年课程，具有共同的格式和一套工具。 将在两所城市伙伴学校对措施的可靠性、有效性和适当性进行详细分析，然后将扩大到全国约50个地区。
