This is a collaborative research and education project which has the following goals: 1) producing and publishing a textbook designed to provide practical support for secondary school teachers who wish to incorporate topics in ethics and values in their curricula; 2) exploring state and national science curricula to identify opportunities for introducing ethics and values the primary and middle school grades; 3) developing ethics and values in science lessons in the junior and senior high ; 4) begin exploring and testing the feasibility of integrating ethics and values in science lessons at the elementary school level; and 5) developing models for summer institutes and/or in-service instructional programs designed to provide the education, support and encouragement needed to promote the teaching of ethics and values at all levels. The textbook for secondary school teachers will include introductory education sections on effective means of introducing junior and senior high school students to the study of moral and value-laden aspects of the practice and uses of science in society. This material will be based on the experience gained by the principal investigators during the summer institute program, their prior experience in teaching ethics and the rapidly growing literature on the teaching of ethics using case studies, role-playing and other pedagogical techniques. The principal investigators, a philosopher with considerable successful experience in teaching ethics to grade school children and an environmental scientist who has taught ethics and values in science to both college students and high school teachers, will take advantage of their mutual sabbatical leaves to educate each other and work together on this project.

这是一个合作研究和教育项目，目标如下：1)制作和出版一本教科书，旨在为希望将伦理和价值观主题纳入其课程的中学教师提供实践支持；2)探索州和国家科学课程，以确定在小学和中学年级引入伦理和价值观的机会；3)在初中和高中的科学课中发展伦理和价值观；4)开始探索和测试将伦理和价值观整合到小学科学课中的可行性；5)开发暑期研习班和/或在职教学方案的模式，旨在提供必要的教育、支持和鼓励，以促进各级道德和价值观的教学。中学教师的教科书将包括介绍教育部分，介绍引导初中生和高中生学习科学在社会中的实践和应用的道德和价值方面的有效手段。这份材料将基于主要研究人员在暑期学院计划期间获得的经验，他们在教授伦理学方面的先前经验，以及使用案例研究、角色扮演和其他教学技术迅速增长的关于伦理学教学的文献。主要研究人员是一位在向小学生教授伦理学方面有相当成功经验的哲学家，以及一位向大学生和高中教师讲授科学伦理学和价值观的环境科学家，他们将利用相互休假的机会相互教育，并在这个项目上合作。
