In real world learning situations, a wide variety of contextual cues become associated with gradually formed common sense knowledge. In contrast, school learning often emphasizes abstract symbolic manipulations, which can lead to students' difficulties in applying their knowledge to real world examples. To help students make intuitive sense of physics, it is necessary to address sensory stimuli that are explicitly or implicitly associated with students' common sense knowledge from experience. To do this, it is important to understand what contextual cues are involved in learning and how they affect the learning process. For selected topics in introductory physics, we will conduct systematic qualitative studies to identify and investigate specific context cues that affect students' learning; we will develop methods to measure, evaluate and represent the involvement of context cues in different stages of learning; we will also develop physics activities in virtual environments to investigate experimentally how low-level sensory cues such as haptic feedback affect learning and how such cues may be addressed in instruction.The resulting insights into the interplay between context and learning, and integration of contextual and sensory information into virtual environments will broaden the horizon of active engagement teaching methods and inform the development of teaching technologies.

在现实世界的学习情境中，各种各样的语境线索与逐渐形成的常识知识联系在一起。相比之下，学校学习往往强调抽象的符号操作，这可能会导致学生难以将他们的知识应用于现实世界的例子。为了帮助学生对物理有直观的认识，有必要处理与学生从经验中获得的常识知识明确或隐含地联系在一起的感觉刺激。要做到这一点，重要的是要了解学习中涉及的语境线索以及它们如何影响学习过程。对于选定的物理入门课程，我们将进行系统的定性研究，以确定和调查影响学生学习的特定情境线索；我们将开发方法来衡量、评估和表现情境线索在学习的不同阶段的参与；我们还将在虚拟环境中开展物理活动，通过实验研究低水平感觉线索(如触觉反馈)如何影响学习，以及如何在教学中处理这些线索。由此产生的对情境与学习之间的相互作用的洞察，以及将情境和感觉信息整合到虚拟环境中，将拓宽积极参与教学方法的视野，并为教学技术的发展提供信息。
