项目摘要

ABSTRACTVisualization Learning Environments for Teaching Inquiry and Earth Science Concepts: A Model for Improving Earth Science TeachingThis project develops a pilot model for improving elementary teacher preparation in earth sciences, scalable for broader systematic change. The model consists of a framework for implementing visualization learning environments (simulations, modeling, and imagery of real data sets) in undergraduate science courses for the purpose of constructing inquiry-based learning. The pilot model is based on an eighteen-month longitudinal study on the use of visualization learning environments in an elementary teacher preparation science course taught at the University of Northern Colorado, Principles of Scientific Inquiry.. The longitudinal study is crucial in assessing the long-term impact of visualization learning environments on content literacy and inquiry skill development. The project contributes significantly to the evaluation section of the Digital Library for Earth System Education (DLESE) as a beta test site for DLESE's Evaluator Tool-kit, an instrument for methods and protocols for assessing activities and courses that utilize inquiry-based activities. Faculty teaching general education science courses could adapt the model created by this project for use in their classes.

教学探究和地球科学概念的摘要视觉化学习环境：改进地球科学教学的模型，该项目开发了一个试点模型，用于改善地球科学中的基本教师准备，可扩展更广泛的系统变化。该模型包括一个在本科科学课程中实施可视化学习环境（真实数据集的模拟，建模和图像）的框架，目的是构建基于查询的学习。试验模型基于一项为期18个月的纵向研究，该研究在科罗拉多大学北部科学探究的基础教师准备科学课程中使用可视化学习环境，《科学探究原理》。纵向研究对于评估可视化学习环境对内容文学和探究技巧开发的长期影响至关重要。该项目为地球系统教育数字图书馆（DLESE）作为DLESE评估员工具套件的beta测试站点的评估部分做出了重大贡献，这是一种评估利用基于询问活动的活动和课程的方法和协议的工具。教师教授通识教育科学课程可以调整该项目在课堂上使用的模型。
