The proposed project will synthesize existing knowledge and articulate unanswered questions in critical areas of research on cognition and learning relevant to the Geosciences. The study will focus on four themes: (a) geological time, (b) complex systems of the Earth, (c) spatial thinking in Geosciences and (d) field-base learning. A small group of experts in geoscience, geoscience education, research on learning, and cognitive science will gather for a week-long learning/brainstorming/writing retreat. The writing retreat will be preceded by a smaller two-day planning meeting, at which they will articulate major questions on each of the four themes, and identify a subset that have sufficient research base for synthesis. Findings will be disseminated through conference, websites, and journals, including a special issue of the Journal of Geoscience Education, and a journal that reaches the learning sciences community.

拟议的项目将综合现有知识，并在与地球科学相关的认知和学习研究的关键领域中阐明未解决的问题。该研究将重点关注四个主题：（a）地质时间，（b）地球的复杂系统，（c）地球科学中的空间思维和（d）野外学习。地球科学，地球科学教育，学习研究和认知科学的一小部分专家将聚集一周的学习/集思广益/写作务虚会。在写作静修会之前，将在为期两天的规划会议之前，在该会议上，他们将在四个主题中阐明主要问题，并确定一个具有足够研究基础的子集。调查结果将通过会议，网站和期刊传播，包括《地球科学教育杂志》的特刊，以及到达学习科学社区的期刊。
