Research & Development of Interactive Analysis Tool

哈坎松 计算机技术可以增加学生对科学主题的兴趣， 更多地参与解决问题的分析过程，同时， 使他们免于陷入高度技术性的程序和重复性的 数学计算 然而，尽管新技术的优势，包括 交互式软件，教师们发现很难将现有的产品整合到 他们的教学计划。 第一阶段小企业创新研究（SBIR） 研究建立一个新的软件工具科学分析创建的技术基础 多媒体（SAM），以促进把计算机技术的承诺，在K-12 科学教育变成现实。 SAM将包括一个外壳（视频回放和分析 能力以及数据收集、计算和表示的功能）， 学习模块（视频和文本数据，根据 主要科学主题）;它的独特之处在于它被设计成既作为一个内容中立的工具，又作为一个模块化的科学程序。 第二阶段研究的目标 重点是（1）开发和测试SAM软件工具的原型;（2） 开发和测试原型课堂材料;（3）开发和测试模型 教师讲习班;（4）评估各种学生的态度和成就， 使用SAM;以及（5）开发使SAM可用于最广泛的 学生 该项目将有助于创建一个软件工具， 数字视频技术和先进的编程技术，并结合了许多 最有用的计算机应用程序，以协助教师在新的科学交付 课程。

Hakansson Computer technology can increase student interest in science topics by allowing students to become more involved in the analytic process of problem solving and, at the same time, freeing them from getting mired in highly technical procedures and repetitive mathematical computations. Yet despite the advantages of new technologies, including interactive software, teachers have found it difficult to integrate existing products into their teaching plans. Results of the Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) study establish the technical basis for the creation of a new software tool Science Analysis Multimedia ( SAM) to facilitate turning the promise of computer technology in K-12 science instruction into reality. SAM will consist of a shell (video playback and analysis capabilities as well as features for data gathering, computation, and presentation) and learning modules (video and text data organized in subtopics and groups according to major scientific themes); it is unique in that it is designed to function both as a content- neutral tool and as a modular science program. The objectives of the Phase II research focus on (1) developing and testing the prototype of the SAM software tool; (2) developing and testing prototype classroom materials; (3) developing and testing model teacher workshops; (4) assessing attitudes and achievement among various students who use SAM; and (5) developing means of making SAM available to the broadest spectrum of students. The project will contribute to the creation of a software tool employing state-of-the-art digital video technology and advanced programming techniques and combining many of the most useful computer applications to assist teachers in the delivery of the new science curriculum.
