作者描述了现代遗传学项目，该项目基于1992年至1998年在圣路易斯地区高中开发和实地测试的成功实践科学实施模型。该项目于1991年开始，其特点是一个课程增强单元，“面向所有学生的现代遗传学”，它结合了强有力的科学内容，实践调查和人类健康应用，并参考了为该主题制定的国家和州科学教学标准。该单位提供了一个显着更高的动手参与整个学年的学生比传统的生物教室。该项目旨在提高圣路易斯高中学生（所有年级）的所有学习水平和所有社会经济，种族和民族背景的科学素养;许多使用课程的学生来自代表性不足的少数民族。这个长期项目是由华盛顿大学的科学家、圣路易斯合作学区数学和科学教育中心的执行专家、南伊利诺伊大学爱德华兹维尔分校的项目评估员和当地高中的生物教师之间的强有力的伙伴关系进行的。资金最初来自美国国立卫生研究院，现在来自霍华德休斯医学研究所。1998年，有31名教师和大约3 200名学生参加了该项目。1995- 1996学年和1996- 1997学年期间对该项目进行的定量和定性评估表明，所有种族、族裔和社会经济群体的学生以及男孩和女孩在知识和态度方面都有很大的提高。
The authors describe the Modern Genetics Project, based on a successful hands-on science implementation model that was developed and field-tested in St. Louis area high schools between 1992 and 1998. The project, begun in 1991, features a curriculum enhancement unit,“Modern Genetics for All Students,” that combines strong scientific content, hands-on investigations, and human health applications, with reference to developing national and state science-teaching standards for this topic. The unit provides a significantly higher level of hands-on involvement throughout the school year for students than is found in traditional biology classrooms. This project aims to enhance scientific literacy among St. Louis high school students (all grades) of all learning levels and all socioeconomic, racial, and ethnic backgrounds; many of the students using the curriculum are from underrepresented minorities. This long-term project is carried out by a strong partnership among scientists at Washington University, implementation specialists from the Mathematics and Science Education Center of the Cooperating School Districts of St. Louis, project evaluators from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville, and biology teachers at local high schools. Funding was originally from the National Institutes of Health and is now from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. In 1998, there were 31 teachers and approximately 3,200 students participating in the project. Both quantitative and qualitative evaluations of the project during the 1995-96 and 1996-97 school years indicate that there were significant gains in knowledge and attitudes among the students of all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups represented, and among both boys and girls.
