Reaching Science And Math Education Practictioners With Research: Multimedia To Inform Teachers

小行星9619086 为了使教育研究能够启发和启发科学和数学教学，它必须是可访问的，可理解的和吸引人的。这一点很难通过印刷刊物和书籍来实现。教师和研究人员自己通常发现研究出版物干燥，不清楚，并从他们的个人经验中删除。计算机和录像技术的最新发展有望极大地便利教育工作者和研究人员传播研究成果。利用多媒体功能的研究“文章”可以在广泛使用的计算机上制作和阅读。这样的文章可以包括例如学生解决问题或讨论问题的视频片段。视频序列可以与超链接的文字记录、专家分析、包括教育工作者在内的其他观众的评论以及相关主题的链接相结合。 本项目将产生两篇研究文章，利用多媒体进步所提供的新的演示可能性。一旦完成，它们将在一个网站上提供，数学和科学教育工作者可以根据其可理解性，丰富性和潜在用途对其进行评估。该项目将与研究人员，教师和商业出版商进行讨论，以评估创建一个基于多媒体的科学和数学教育期刊的可行性。此外，它将在TERC主办一个关于视频技术在科学和数学教育研究中的应用的会议。 ***

9619086 Carraher For educational research to enlighten and lend inspiration to science and mathematics teaching, it must be accessible, comprehensible, and engaging. This has been difficult to achieve through printed journals and books. Teachers and researchers themselves commonly find research publications dry, unclear, and removed from their personal experience. Recent developments in computer and video technology promise to greatly facilitate dissemination of research among educators and researchers. Research "articles" that take advantage of multimedia capabilities can be produced and read on widely available computers. Such articles can include, for example, video footage of students solving problems or discussing issues. The video sequences can be integrated with hyperlinked transcripts, analyses by experts, remarks by other viewers, including educators, and links to related topics. The present project will produce a two research articles that exploit new presentation possibilities afforded by advances in multimedia. Once completed, they will be made available on a web site where they can be evaluated by mathematics and science educators in terms of its comprehensibility, richness, and potential uses. The project will undertake discussions with researchers, teachers, and commercial publishers in order to evaluate the viability of creating a multimedia-based journal in science and math education. In addition it will host at TERC a conference on the uses of video technology in science and mathematics educational research. ***
