神经科学外展工作目前针对年龄较大的小学或高中儿童，传统上没有评估有效性。此外，项目通常由神经科学家或教育工作者单独发起，很少有这些团体一起工作的情况。考虑到广泛的好处，伴随着跨学科合作的推广，本研究试图通过神经科学和教育部门之间的合作，为学龄前学生开发一个神经科学课程。六个神经科学课程解决大脑的各种功能，在连续几周教学龄前学生。第一堂课是给全班上的，之后进行了基线预评估。然后学生被分成几组，之后只有一半的学生接受了进一步的神经科学指导。后评估测量学生神经科学知识的增加。结果表明，与没有接受神经科学课程的学生相比，接受神经科学课程的学生对特定内容的材料有更好的理解。参与的本科生也报告说，参加这个项目带来了很大的好处。这项工作解决了跨学科科学规划针对年轻的小学生的差距差距，也提供了一个框架，改进设计和评估这些计划，继续更好地科学推广工作。
Neuroscience outreach efforts are currently aimed at older elementary or high school children and have not traditionally assessed effectiveness. Additionally, programs are often initiated by either neuroscientists or educators alone, with few combined instances of these groups working together. Considering the wide range of benefits that accompany interdisciplinary collaborations for outreach, this study sought to develop a neuroscience curriculum for preschool students via collaborations between neuroscience and education departments. Six neuroscience lessons addressing various functions of the brain were taught to preschool students in consecutive weeks. The first lesson was given to the entire class, after which a baseline pre-assessment was performed. Students were then divided into groups, after which only half of the class received further neuroscience instruction. A post-assessment measured for increases in neuroscience knowledge in the students. Results showed that students who received the neuroscience lessons had a greater understanding of content-specific material compared to the group who did not receive neuroscience lessons. The undergraduates involved also reported great benefits from participation in this program. This work addresses the gap in interdisciplinary science programming targeting young elementary aged students, and also provides a framework for improved design and assessment of such programs to continue to better scientific outreach efforts.
