iPuzzle: Transforming Mathematics Learning Through Social Puzzling

iPuzzle项目的目的是开发一个模型，支持学生使用创新技术学习数学。研究人员将通过创建和检查一个交互式拼图环境来开发这个模型，该环境可以在单个网络教室中本地使用，也可以为网络创建，以便可以在使用不同计算设备和平台的多个学校使用。本研究及发展计划将采用混合方法，以研究拟议的学习环境对学生参与及学习的影响。这些谜题将在正式和非正式的环境中与学生一起测试，并根据测试结果进行修改。 发展以难题为基础的综合课程的长期愿景是创新的，具有潜在的变革性。 该项目将有助于实现这一长期愿景。 这个项目有可能改变学习环境的文化-而不是期望学习只是因为一个人必须做，他们的长期愿景是建立一种文化，其中学习是一个（大多数）喜欢做的事情，并希望其他人也喜欢。有了清晰的愿景，一套连贯的拟议活动和一个伟大的团队，这个项目有潜力真正改变STEM学习。

The purpose of the iPuzzle project is to develop a model for supporting student engagement in learning mathematics using innovative technologies. Researchers will develop this model by creating and examining an interactive puzzle environment that could be used locally in a single networked classroom or created for the web so that it could be used at multiple schools using different computing devices and platforms. Mixed-methods will be employed in this research and development project to examine the impact of the proposed learning environment on student engagement and learning. The puzzles will be tested with students in formal and informal settings and revision will be undertaken according to the testing. The long-term vision of developing puzzle-based comprehensive curriculum is innovative and potentially transformative. This project will contribute to this long-term vision. This project has the potential to change the culture of the learning environment - instead of expecting that learning is done only because one must, their long-term vision is to build a culture in which learning is something one (mostly) enjoys doing and expects others to enjoy as well. With a clear vision, a coherent set of proposed activities, and a great team, this project has the potential to truly Transforming STEM Learning.
