This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project aims to create a content and delivery platform to facilitate interactive learning for career education - addressing the application in support of teaching and/or learning subtopic. The project will develop a prototype of the Career Simulation Environment (CSE) - an engaging, exploratory and constructivist environment that will better inform youth about the kind of opportunities that will be available to them when they grow up. In addition, it will reinforce the habits, skills and values that they should acquire in preparation for those opportunities. It is hypothesized that students will be more motivated to explore careers in an active manner and more motivated to pursue careers that they have been able to 'taste'.Career simulations must be complex enough to gain credibility with students, be comprehensive enough to model career skills and satisfy curriculum requirements, and yet be highly usable. This project is uniquely suited to address this problem by combining best practices and research from the fields of adolescent career preparation, human computer interaction, gaming and e-learning. The proposed research will substantially extend previous research and practice in career exploration through an interdisciplinary approach to the development of and evaluation of career explorations simulation tools.

该奖项是根据2009年《美国回收与再投资法》（公法111-5）资助的。本小型企业创新研究（SBIR）I阶段项目旨在创建一个内容和交付平台，以促进互动式学习以实现职业教育 - 解决支持教学和/或学习次主题的应用程序。该项目将开发一个职业模拟环境（CSE）的原型 - 一种引人入胜的，探索性和建构主义的环境，可以更好地告知青年人在他们长大后可以使用的机会。此外，它将加强他们应该获得的习惯，技能和价值观，以为这些机会做准备。假设学生将更有动力以一种积极的方式探索职业，并更有动力从事自己的职业，以使他们能够“品尝”。教会模拟必须足够复杂，以使学生获得信誉，足够全面地模拟职业技能并满足课程要求，并且可以非常有用。该项目非常适合通过结合青少年职业准备，人类计算机互动，游戏和电子学习领域的最佳实践和研究来解决这个问题。拟议的研究将通过跨学科探索中的先前研究和实践来大大扩展职业探索模拟工具的开发和评估。
