Establishing Microcomputer Use Across The Curriculum

该项目的目标是通过提供一个联网的微型计算机实验室，丰富初级、中级和高级心理学本科生的研究经验。一个联网的实验室，而不是一套单独的PC，集中和扩展了实验室资源，提供了整个课程范围的心理学曝光。这鼓励学生在工作时与彼此和教师在线交流，提供学生使用情况的详细记录，并运行在现有独立设备上无法运行的软件。本科生每年还设计和实施三个独立的学习项目和一个高级论文项目，这是他们的第四个项目。预计这个项目将提供一个环境，让学生可以通过数据收集和分析集中精力进行假设检验和概念分析。

The goal of the proposed project is to enrich the research experiences of beginning, intermediate, and advanced psychology undergraduates by providing access to a networked microcomputer laboratory. A networked laboratory, rather than a set of individual PCs, centralizes and expands laboratory resources with a curriculum-wide exposure in psychology. This encourages students to communicate with each other and the instructor on- line as they are working, provides a detailed record of student use, and runs software that would be impossible on existing stand-alone equipment. Undergraduates also design and conduct three independent study projects each year and a senior thesis project their fourth. It is expected that this project will provide a setting where students can concentrate on hypothesis testing and conceptual analysis through data collection and analyses.
