9450237 Gregory Improvement of the decision-making skills of secondary school students is an important component of the educational reform movement. It is also a component in the education of workers for the competitive workforce. In a previously-funded, exploratory grant, modules were developed for a variety of disciplines in which the content was taught by also emphasizing decision skills. This project builds upon that base to further develop, test and evaluate content-specific modules which teach the eight decision skills. Decision skills are interwoven with subject-based material. Students are placed in the role of active decision makers, faced with problems confronting scientists: interpreting conflicting outcomes, understanding sources of uncertainty, knowing when to go ahead despite a lack of information and when it is necessary to seek out additional information, distinguishing personal from professional values and knowing how best to work with a team of colleagues, possessing diverse skills, all of whom may see the world a little differently. The project is done with teachers in Eugene, Oregon and other locations. Results to date indicate that students and teachers find the materials engaging and that the learning of science becomes more relevant. The materials include discipline-specific modules which link decision-making skills, serving as an introduction to both the science and the decision-making and a decision skills handbook and video for teachers to see how to augment traditional science teaching. ***

小行星9450237 提高中学生的决策能力是教育改革运动的重要组成部分。 它也是工人教育的一个组成部分，以培养有竞争力的劳动力。 在以前资助的探索性赠款中，为各种学科开发了模块，其中内容也强调决策技能。该项目在此基础上进一步开发、测试和评估教授八种决策技能的特定内容模块。 决策技能与基于主题的材料交织在一起。 学生被放置在积极的决策者的角色，面对科学家面临的问题：解释相互冲突的结果，了解不确定性的来源，知道在缺乏信息的情况下何时继续前进，何时需要寻求更多信息，区分个人价值观和专业价值观，知道如何最好地与同事团队合作，拥有各种技能，他们对世界的看法可能都不一样 该项目是与教师在尤金，俄勒冈州和其他地点。迄今为止的结果表明，学生和教师发现材料的吸引力和科学的学习变得更加相关。 这些材料包括将决策技能联系起来的特定学科模块，作为对科学和决策的介绍，以及供教师了解如何加强传统科学教学的决策技能手册和录像。 ***
