CISE/EHR/ENG/MPS Collaborative Research on Learning Technologies: Visualization Research Center

9616410 Carraher，David TERC，Inc.CEISE/EHR/ENG/MPS关于学习技术的合作研究：可视化研究中心TERC，Inc.获得了50,000美元，为期6个月，用于规划一个科学和数学可视化研究中心。该中心的目标是：(1)对可视化技术的技术发展和认知解释进行跨学科的实证研究；(2)通过创建创新的可视化课程工具来改进K-12数学和科学教育；以及(3)就可视化在学习和理解数学和科学方面的作用做出贡献。为了促进对可视化在历史、文化和心理上的广泛理解，可视化研究中心不仅将利用自然科学和数学科学的专业知识，还将利用人文和社会科学的专业知识。目前正在与美国国家艺术与科学学院、麻省理工学院媒体实验室、加州大学圣地亚哥分校CalSpace、宾夕法尼亚州立大学、波士顿大学医疗中心医院和克兰布鲁克研究所等机构建立合作伙伴关系。

9616410 Carraher, David TERC, Inc. CISE/EHR/ENG/MPS Collaborative Research on Learning Technologies: Visualization Research Center TERC, Inc. has been awarded $50,000 for a 6-month period to plan a research Center for the study of scientific and mathematical visualization. The goals of the center are: (1) to undertake interdisciplinary empirical research on the technological development and cognitive interpretation of visualization technologies; and , (2) to improve K-12 math and science education by creating innovative visual curricular tools and (3) to contribute toward a new conceptual framework on the role of visualization in learning and understanding mathematics and science. To promote a broad understanding of visualization as historically, culturally, and psychologically grounded, the Visualization Research Center will draw upon expertise not only from the natural and mathematical sciences but also from the humanities and social sciences. Partnerships are being established with the National Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab, the CalSpace at University of California-San Diego, Pennsylvania State University, the Boston University Medical Center Hospital, and the Cranbrook Institute, among others.
