Improving the Decision-Making Skills of Secondary School Students

小行星9154382 决策科学研究所的决策科学专家与尤金（俄勒冈州）4-J学区的教师一起开发了10到12个模块，重点是向中学生教授决策技能。 该项目侧重于与人类健康和环境有关的科学领域的决策。 学生将学习代表不同选择的预期后果和这些选择的感知可取性方面的决策机会。 材料将提出决策思维，结构，不确定性和权衡的四个主题，并表明价值观是重要的，决策是有目的的，有未来的事件，不能控制或预测，个人选择对未来的方向有影响，不同的选择会导致不同的利益，风险和成本。 教学模块将根据其在鼓励更好的决策以及提高科学领域决策技能方面的成功率进行开发和评估。 传播工作将在国际教育技术学会的协助下进行。 ***

9154382 Gregory Decision Science specialists at Decision Science Research Institute together with teachers at the Eugene (oregon) 4-J School District are developing ten to twelve modules focussing on teaching decision-making skills to secondary school students. The project focuses on decision making in science areas related to human health and to the environment. Students will learn to represent decision opportunities in terms of expected consequences of different choices and the perceived desirability of those choices. The material will present the four themes of decision thinking, structuring, uncertainty and tradeoffs and show that values are important and decision making is purposeful, there are future events that cannot be controlled or predicted, personal choices have an influence on future directions, and different choices result in different benefits, risks and costs. Instructional modules will be developed and evaluated on the basis of their success in encouraging better decisions as well as their ability to enhance decision making skills in science domains. Dissemination will be conducted with assistance from the International Society for Technology in Education. ***
