Visualization in Science and Education

这次科学与教育可视化会议汇集了来自四个部门的从业者：科学家，认知心理学家，教育工作者和评估人员，以研究科学教学和教学科学。这四个部门都需要确保下一代可视化工具的准确性（科学家的作用），传达预期的信息（认知心理学家的作用），并尽量减少学习障碍（教育工作者的作用）。 第四个部分是评估者，他们通过确定学生是否已经吸收了预期的信息，并评估可视化是否促进了这一过程，为其他三个小组提供了必要的基础。会议的主要目的是为更有效地传达预期含义的图像奠定基础。 为使与会者了解最新的硬件和软件开发，该项目包括一个会前研讨会。讲习班参加者将获得尖端硬件和软件的实际操作经验。 最后，为了确保新成立的合作关系发生持久变化，将邀请与会者申请小额赠款。 小额赠款包括适度的资金，旨在协助开发更大范围的提案，以创建新技术或改进现有的可视化工具，以实现重新概念化教学交付的承诺。 此外，还计划举办一次专门讨论替代学习方式的会议，预计这一主题将吸引广大受众。作为戈登研究会议组织的一部分，会议是很好的广告，招募参与者从科学研究和教育企业的所有成员。

This Conference on Visualization in Science and Education brings together practitioners from four sectors: scientists, cognitive psychologists, educators, and evaluators to examine the teaching of science and the science of teaching. All four sectors are needed to ensure that the next generation of visualization tools are accurate (the scientists' role), convey the intended message (the cognitive psychologists' role) and minimize barriers to learning (the educators' role). Evaluators, the fourth sector, form the essential base for the other three groups by determining that the student has assimilated the intended message and evaluating whether the visualization facilitated the process. The primary purpose of the conference is to lay the foundation for images that are ever more effective at conveying the intended meaning. To bring participants up-to-speed on the latest hardware and software developments, the project contains a pre-conference Workshop. Workshop participants will be provided with hands-on experience with cutting-edge hardware and software. Finally, to ensure a lasting change from the newly formed collaborations, conference participants will be invited to apply for Mini-Grants. Mini-Grants consist of modest funds that are intended to assist with development of larger scope proposals to either create new technology or improve existing tools for visualization to deliver on the promise of reconceptualizing instructional delivery. In addition, a session is planned that specifically addresses alternate learning styles, a subject that is expected to appeal to a broad audience. As part of the Gordon Research Conference Organization, the conference is well advertised, recruiting participants from all members of the science research and education enterprise.
