This project develops and examines place-based learning using mobile augmented reality experiences for rural families where museums and science centers are scarce yet where natural resources are rich with outdoor trails, parks, and forestlands. The collaborative research team, with members from rural libraries, outdoor learning centers, learning scientists at Penn State University, and rural communities in Pennsylvania, will develop augmented reality and mobile learning resources for families and children aged from 4 to 12. The goal is to help people see what is not visible in real-time in order to learn about life and earth sciences based on local watersheds, trees, and seasonal cycles that are familiar and relevant to rural communities. To accomplish this goal, the project team will create scientifically meaningful experiences for rural families and children in their out-of-school time through three iterations of research and design. Although there is evidence that augmented reality can support learning, little empirical research has been conducted to determine what makes one type of augmented learning experience more effective than others in outdoor learning spaces. This project will produce research findings on the utility of augmented reality for science learning with families and youths outdoors. This Innovations in Development project is funded by the Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) program, which seeks to advance new approaches to, and evidence-based understanding of, the design and development of STEM learning in informal environments. This includes providing multiple pathways for broadening access to and engagement in STEM learning experiences, advancing innovative research on and assessment of STEM learning in informal environments, and developing understandings of deeper learning by participantsThrough a four-year design-based research study, researchers will investigate three research questions. (1) How can outdoor learning experiences be enhanced with augmented reality and digital resources in ways that make science more visible and interesting?; (2) How do different forms of augmentations on trails and in gardens support science learning? 3) What social roles do children and parents play in supporting each other's science learning and connections to rural communities? Data collection includes video-recordings of children and families in the outdoors, learning analytics of people's behavior, and interviews with rural families. The project's research design will allow for the development of theory, which supports rural families learning science within and about their communities. At the end of the project, the team will offer generalizable design principles for technologically-enhanced informal learning for outdoor displays, gardens, and trails.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目开发和研究使用移动的增强现实体验的农村家庭的地方为基础的学习，博物馆和科学中心是稀缺的，但自然资源丰富的户外小径，公园和林地。该合作研究团队的成员来自乡村图书馆、户外学习中心、宾夕法尼亚州立大学的学习科学家以及宾夕法尼亚州的乡村社区，他们将为4至12岁的家庭和儿童开发增强现实和移动的学习资源。我们的目标是帮助人们看到实时不可见的东西，以便了解基于当地流域，树木和季节周期的生命和地球科学，这些都是熟悉的，与农村社区相关的。为了实现这一目标，项目团队将通过三次迭代的研究和设计，为农村家庭和儿童在校外时间创造有科学意义的体验。尽管有证据表明增强现实可以支持学习，但很少有实证研究来确定是什么使一种类型的增强学习体验在户外学习空间中比其他类型更有效。该项目将产生关于增强现实在家庭和青少年户外科学学习中的效用的研究结果。这个创新发展项目是由推进非正式STEM学习（AISL）计划，旨在推进新的方法，并以证据为基础的理解，在非正式环境中的STEM学习的设计和开发资助。这包括提供多种途径，以扩大获得和参与STEM学习经验，推进创新研究和非正式环境中STEM学习的评估，并通过为期四年的设计研究，研究人员将调查三个研究问题。(1)如何通过增强现实和数字资源来增强户外学习体验，使科学更直观、更有趣？(2)在小径和花园中的不同形式的扩增如何支持科学学习？3)孩子和父母在支持彼此的科学学习和与农村社区的联系方面发挥着什么样的社会作用？数据收集包括儿童和家庭在户外的视频记录，学习分析人们的行为，并采访农村家庭。该项目的研究设计将允许理论的发展，支持农村家庭在其社区内和关于其社区学习科学。在项目结束时，该团队将提供可推广的设计原则，为技术增强的非正式学习的户外显示，花园，和trails.This奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得的支持，通过评估使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
