  Abstract

The Field is a simulated virtual environment specifically designed to assist elementary students learn the basic scientific inquiry skills such as observation, data collection, and generating and verifying hypothesis. Over the last four years, the Field has been used to teach inquiry learning in the context of mathematics and science in an elementary school. During the studies, it was observed that students suffered from problems in navigation, wayfinding, and data collection. First, this papers discusses the problems and the technical aids we have iteratively developed to address these issues. We will then discuss the impact of the technical aids on the student''s behaviors.
