MPWG: Female Role Models in Science: Out of the Periphery and Into the Core Curriculum

小行星9353760 该项目的目标是增加可用于改善男女科学教育的课程资源。 这些课程资源将帮助中学生命科学学生和高中生物学生： O 把科学看作是一种探索性的活动，由真实的人来完成， 并采用亲身实践的调查方法;以及 O 扩大他们的科学家形象，包括来自不同领域的妇女， 组和时间段。 具体来说，这个短期的，高度集中的项目将开发，审查和测试一套教学和激励的下拉模块，中学生命科学和高中生物学入门课程，这将使教师能够轻松地将有关女性的信息整合到课程中科学榜样，同时增加动手，在课堂上使用的调查方法。 这些材料将与生物学导论的课程目标和国家标准项目提出的目标和方法相协调，包括国家研究理事会的科学教育标准项目，AAAS的项目2061和NSTA的范围，顺序和协调。 这些模块将在初中和高中课堂上评估其实用性和对学生的影响。 参加这次课堂评估的教师将包括美国生理学会（APS）高中教师暑期研究计划和俄亥俄州系统性倡议-项目发现的参与者。 此外，在全国生物教师协会、全国科学教师协会、美国科学促进协会、科学界妇女协会和美国生理学会的会议上，参加一系列高中和中学教师讲习班的人员将对这些模块进行评估。 最后，这些模块将由全国生物教师协会出版物审查小组、APS教育委员会和APS生理学女性委员会进行审查。 这些材料将通过讲习班和专业协会联盟的通知广泛传播，包括APS、AAAS、AWIS、NABT和NSTA。 此外，APS将在今后几年的年度会议上通过与教师的讲习班传播这些材料。 ***

9353760 Frank The goal of the project is to increase the curricular resources available for improving the science education of both females and males. These curricular resources will help middle school life sciences students and high school biology students to: o view science as an exploratory activity, done by real people, and involving hands-on, inquiry approaches; and o expand their image of scientists to include women from diverse groups and time periods. Specifically, this short-term, highly-focused project will develop, review, and test a set of instructional and motivational drop-in modules for middle school life science and introductory high school biology classes which will allow teachers to easily integrate information about female science role models into the curriculum while increasing the hands-on, inquiry approaches used in class. These materials will be coordinated with curricular goals for introductory biology and with the goals and methods proposed by national standards projects, including the National Research Council's Science Education Standards Project, AAAS' Project 2061, and NSTA's Scope, Sequence, and Coordination. The modules will be evaluated in middle and high school classrooms for their usefulness and student impact. Teachers participating in this in-class evaluation will include participants in the American Physiological Society's (APS) Summer Research Program for High School Teachers and in the Ohio State Systemic Initiative - Project Discovery. In addition, the modules will be evaluated by participants in a series of workshops for high school and middle school teachers at meetings of the National Association of Biology Teachers, the National Science Teachers Association, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Association for Women in Science, and the American Physiological Society. Finally, the modules will be reviewed by the National Association of Biology Teachers' Publica tions Review Team, the APS Education Committee, and the APS Committee on Women in Physiology. The materials will be disseminated widely through workshops and notices from an alliance of professional associations, including the APS, AAAS, AWIS, NABT, and NSTA. In addition, the APS will disseminate the materials via workshops with teachers at each of its annual meetings in coming years. ***
