Abstract

The work aims to enhance the effectiveness of science popularization for school-age children at historical sites by addressing cognitive disconnections and inefficiencies through design strategies guided by the situated cognition theory. Firstly, a three-dimensional behavioral observation framework encompassing emotional, exploratory, and social behaviors was reconstructed, and field research in four site museums was conducted. Secondly, by integrating the Piaget's cognitive development theory and the situated cognition theory, an analytical research framework was established. Finally, design development and quantitative evaluation provided empirical support for the proposed strategies. The results, derived from the innovative three-dimensional behavioral observation, identified three core disconnections: ineffective information perception, deficient spatial understanding, and inappropriate behavioral interaction. A problem-solving framework linking cognitive characteristics, dilemmas, and needs of school-age children was constructed based on situated cognition, leading to the development of a VR binoculars prototype and tests of cognition effectiveness guided by cognitive promotion strategies. In conclusion, a cognitive promotion design strategy centered on the "integration of knowing and doing" and "situated practice" is proposed for heritage science popularization. This strategy positively enhances children's attention, satisfaction, and knowledge retention, effectively mitigating cognitive disconnections and offering a transferable design approach for child-oriented cultural heritage education.
