Building Cognitive Bridges to Enhance Science Learning

本计画为未来小学教师提供对科学关键概念的概念性理解。它建立在早期科学学习的研究和发展项目的基础上，这些项目使用基于计算机的系统来弥补学生对科学概念理解的不足。该项目为增加科学知识整合提供了桥梁活动，并帮助学生将原理图表示与物理现象联系起来。受资助者为该项目提供的资金与国家科学基金会的奖金相当。

This project provides a conceptual understanding of key concepts in science for prospective elementary school teachers. It builds upon earlier research and development programs in science learning that use a computer-based system to remedy deficiencies in student understanding of science concepts. The project provides bridging activities for increasing knowledge integration in science and for helping students connect schematic representations to physical phenomena in physics. The grantee provides funds for this project that are more than an equal match for the NSF award.
