Planning Grant to Support the Development of the Project ?Visualization as a Tool in Informal Science Education at Lake Tahoe?Summary:Researchers at the U.C. Davis will carry out observations of museum visitors to plan for a study of how visualizations affect visitors of an Earth Sciences exhibit using 3D technology. The researchers will be able to conduct an experimental study about how much participants in an education center learn from the model of earthquakes and of a model of the Lake Tahoe basin. The researchers will conduct a quasi-experiment of a sample of 100 visitors to the center at Lake Tahoe to study their experience with visualization and learning of science. The funding for this phase of the project will include the development of audience surveys, conducting focus groups to develop types of feedback, train staff to conduct data collection, and to conduct a literature review of technology visualization.

规划拨款以支持项目的发展？可视化作为一种工具，在塔霍湖非正式科学教育？摘要：U.C.的研究人员戴维斯将对博物馆参观者进行观察，以计划研究可视化如何影响使用3D技术的地球科学展览的参观者。 研究人员将能够进行一项实验研究，了解教育中心的参与者从地震模型和太浩湖盆地模型中学到了多少东西。 研究人员将对塔霍湖中心的100名游客进行一项准实验，以研究他们在可视化和学习科学方面的经验。 该项目这一阶段的资金将包括开展受众调查，组织焦点小组以确定反馈类型，培训工作人员进行数据收集，并对技术可视化进行文献审查。
