0244104BERNARDThis project will make it possible for anthropological researchers to collect data, over the Internet, using the Educara Survey system. The system includes methods from cognitive science including the collection of free lists, pile sorts, paired comparisons, triad tests, and frame substitutions. With the new system created in this project people will interact, online, from anywhere in the world, with a set of cards that they see laid out on the screen, and move the cards, with a mouse, into piles, just as they would in a face-to-face pile sort task. The system being developed in this research also builds Internet-based surveys. For example, a researcher gives the system a list of items for a pile sort and the system builds a pile sort module. People who are logged onto the Internet see a screen with the pile sort items arranged randomly and move the cards into piles, just as they would in a face-to- face pile sort. The system records the information and produces data that can be read by standard programs for analysis. Broader ImpactsTypically, research done with the tools in the new system is done with a small number of respondents. With the Internet-based tools, scholars across the social sciences (including basic researchers in anthropology, sociology, and social psychology, as well as applied researchers in marketing, nursing, and education) will be able to use the new system for studies with respondents around the world. The system will also make teaching and practicing these methods much easier. With computer-based instruction, it will be possible to teach the full range of qualitative and quantitative research methods to students anywhere in the world.

0244104BERNARD该项目将使人类学研究人员能够利用Educara调查系统通过互联网收集数据。该系统包括来自认知科学的方法，包括自由列表的收集、堆排序、配对比较、三元组测试和框架替换。在这个项目中创建的新系统中，人们将在世界任何地方与他们在屏幕上看到的一组卡片进行在线交互，并用鼠标将卡片移动到堆中，就像他们在面对面的堆排序任务中一样。这项研究正在开发的系统还建立了基于互联网的调查。例如，研究人员给系统一个用于堆排序的项目列表，系统构建一个堆排序模块。人们登录到互联网上看到一个屏幕与堆排序项目随机排列和移动卡到桩，就像他们将在面对面堆排序。该系统记录信息并产生可由标准程序读取的数据以进行分析。更广泛的影响通常，在新系统中使用工具进行的研究是在少数受访者中进行的。通过基于互联网的工具，社会科学领域的学者（包括人类学、社会学和社会心理学的基础研究人员，以及营销、护理和教育领域的应用研究人员）将能够使用新系统对世界各地的受访者进行研究。该系统还将使这些方法的教学和实践更加容易。有了基于计算机的教学，将有可能向世界任何地方的学生教授全方位的定性和定量研究方法。
