It is vital that students understand science given its relevance in important economic and professional areas as well as for an informed democratic citizenry. This project aims to conduct classroom-based research in which students learn content in the Australian Curriculum - Science through the use of an innovative agent-based virtual learning environment that supports authentic science inquiry activities to enhance learning of difficult scientific knowledge and skills. The project also aims to develop teacher professional development materials for teachers to enhance teacher capacity to use innovative pedagogies and learning technologies in Australian schools.

鉴于科学与重要的经济和专业领域以及知情的民主公民的相关性，学生理解科学是至关重要的。该项目旨在开展基于课堂的研究，学生通过使用创新的基于代理的虚拟学习环境来学习澳大利亚课程-科学中的内容，该环境支持真实的科学探究活动，以加强对困难的科学知识和技能的学习。该项目还旨在为教师开发教师专业发展材料，以提高教师在澳大利亚学校使用创新教学法和学习技术的能力。
