POWRE: Applying New Data Analysis Technology and Creating Research Liaisons to Build Capacity for the Study and Assessment of Science Learners' Cognitive Processes

这个项目的两个主要目标是扩大首席调查员(PI)的方法能力和她的研究联系，这将加强她对学生的研究和应用工作；科学课堂中的推理和知识构建。PI将通过与开发该技术的加州大学洛杉矶分校(UCLA)的研究人员合作，培养使用视频数据分析技术的能力，然后使用该技术分析关于科学学习者的现有和即将到来的数据；社会认知过程。她还将与加州大学洛杉矶分校社会科学家的研究项目建立实质性的联系，这些社会科学家开发对科学教学和学习的大规模评估。通过这些方式，PI将深化和拓宽她为科学教育理论和实践做出贡献的能力。

The PI will develop competency in using video data analysis technology by working with the researchers at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) who developed the techniques, then use the technology to analyze existing and forthcomning data on science learners; sociocognitive processes. She also will establish substantive links to the research programs of social scientist at UCLA who develop large scale assessments of science teaching and learning. In these ways, the PI will deepen and broaden her ability to make contributions to science education theory and practice.
