Design-based science pedagogy presents students with a design challenge that requires them to use targeted science content to design and build a working artifact. It can be an especially effective method to help learners develop mental models of how things work, understand scientific concepts, and develop scientific reasoning. This project focuses on identifying software design principles and instructional principles for supporting science concept learning through design-based exercises. Two technologies for promoting science learning will be integrated into design-based learning environments: simulation and modeling software, and software to support construction of explanations and predictions. The pedagogical focus of this project is the science of force and motion at the middle school level.Software design research issues of this project include understanding (i) the functions simulation and modeling software should have when integrated with physical design activities so as to promote more effective concept learning from design activities, (ii) needed functionality in software that supports explanation and prediction construction in such an environment, (iii) design guidelines for integrating these two kinds of software, and (iv) guidelines for designing interactions between learners and the software to promote easy use, personal connections, and curiosity.Pedagogical research issues include identifying practices for (i) interweaving design and testing in the physical world with simulation and modeling and (ii) interweaving prediction and explanation with designing and modeling, such that students learn targeted science concepts deeply, including the ability to use them for prediction and explanation of real-world phenomena.

基于设计的科学教学法向学生提出了一项设计挑战，要求他们使用有针对性的科学内容来设计和构建工作工件。 它可能是一种特别有效的方法，可以帮助学习者发展出工作方式，理解科学概念并发展科学推理的心理模型。 该项目着重于确定软件设计原理和教学原则，以通过基于设计的练习来支持科学概念学习。 促进科学学习的两种技术将集成到基于设计的学习环境中：仿真和建模软件以及支持解释和预测的构建的软件。 The pedagogical focus of this project is the science of force and motion at the middle school level.Software design research issues of this project include understanding (i) the functions simulation and modeling software should have when integrated with physical design activities so as to promote more effective concept learning from design activities, (ii) needed functionality in software that supports explanation and prediction construction in such an environment, (iii) design guidelines for integrating these two kinds of software, and (iv) guidelines for designing学习者与软件之间的相互作用，以促进易于使用，个人联系和好奇心。包括识别（i）通过模拟和建模的物理世界中的设计和测试的实践，以及（ii）与设计和建模的相互交织的预测和解释，以使学生深入地学习目标的科学概念，包括对预测和解释的能力，以实现对实现的现实，并将其换成实现，并将其换成现实，并将其换成现实，并将其换成现实，并将其进行实现。
