This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This Major Research Instrumentation award funds the acquisition of high quality video production and post-production equipment to support research at Syracuse University. Several research projects at Syracuse University currently collect and analyze large quantities of digital video (DV) data to investigate diverse questions that consider both the obvious and the subtle interactions people have with each other and with technology. Digital video data analysis, which requires high quality video production and post-production equipment and specialized analytical software, allows for repeated and detailed examination of acquired footage and increased analytic accuracy. Findings from DV data analysis can play an important role in fostering the integration of research and education in research-intensive learning environments and can play an important role in reconfiguring research practices that challenge the distinction between practitioners and researchers. Syracuse University currently lacks comprehensive infrastructure for supporting research endeavors that generate and analyze DV data. Because of the lack of robust DV infrastructure, researchers at the University have not been able to engage in research on questions that are best addressed by methodologies that generate DV data. The requested equipment and software will have a direct and immediate impact on faculty in three disciplines involved in research in Science Education, Teacher Education, Instructional Technology, and Linguistics.The broader impacts of the research supported by this equipment is in the areas of science teaching and situated cognition that refine and enhance science pedagogy, which will be integrated into K-12 and higher educational practices and will include pre-service and in-service teachers. Undergraduate and graduate researchers will work on all of the projects enabled by this grant.

该奖项是根据《2009年美国复苏和再投资法案》(公法111-5)资助的。该主要研究工具奖资助购买高质量的视频制作和后期制作设备，以支持锡拉丘兹大学的研究。锡拉丘兹大学的几个研究项目目前收集和分析了大量的数字视频(DV)数据，以调查各种问题，这些问题既考虑了人们彼此之间以及与技术之间的明显和微妙的互动。数字视频数据分析需要高质量的视频制作和后期制作设备以及专门的分析软件，可以对获得的素材进行反复和详细的检查，并提高分析精度。DV数据分析的结果可以在促进研究密集型学习环境中的研究和教育一体化方面发挥重要作用，并可以在重新配置挑战从业者和研究人员之间区别的研究实践方面发挥重要作用。锡拉丘兹大学目前缺乏全面的基础设施来支持生成和分析DV数据的研究工作。由于缺乏强大的DV基础设施，该大学的研究人员无法从事通过生成DV数据的方法最好地解决的问题的研究。所要求的设备和软件将对涉及科学教育、教师教育、教学技术和语言学研究的三个学科的教师产生直接和立即的影响。由这些设备支持的研究的更广泛影响是在科学教学和情境认知领域，这些领域将改进和加强科学教育学，这将被整合到K-12和高等教育实践中，并将包括任职前和在职教师。本科生和研究生研究人员将致力于这项资助所支持的所有项目。
