EAGER: Marrying Kinesthetic Tools and Cyberinfrastructure to Education Research in Large Populations of Middle School Science Students

渴望：将动觉工具和网络基础设施与大量中学理科学生的教育研究相结合OCI 1152814努力的目标是确定嵌入到有形动觉工具上的二维码技术如何有效地帮助人们个人和集体学习。这种技术在科学教育中的作用在很大程度上还没有被探索，尽管动觉学习和技术中介教学的价值已经得到承认。目标人群是中学生理科学生。该工具侧重于研究地球科学概念，包括板块构造。综合工具将在多个环境中进行评估，包括K-12教室、博物馆、家庭-学校环境和特殊需要群体。该项目涉及大学教职员工、本科生、教师和其他教育工作者，以及参与工具开发的学生，包括有形和网络基础设施和评估。

EAGER: Marrying Kinesthetic Tools and Cyberinfrastructure to Education Research in Large Populations of Middle School Science Students OCI 1152814The goal of the effort is to determine how QR code technology embedded on a tangible kinesthetic tool, a so-called "combined tool", can be productively used to help people learn both individually and collectively. The role of this technology in science education is largely unexplored, although the values of kinesthetic learning and technology-mediated instruction are recognized. The target population is middle school science students. The tool focuses on the study of earth science concepts including plate tectonics. The combined tool will be assessed in multiple settings including K-12 classrooms, museums, home-school environments, and in special-needs groups. The project involves university faculty, undergraduates, teachers and other educators, and students with roles in tool development, both tangible and cyberinfrastructure and assessment.
