This pilot project will develop and implement a workshop model for nationwide dissemination of guidelines and instructional materials for incorporating topics on science and ethics and values in secondary school science classrooms. The project will develop a three-day instructional workshop to help teachers determine ways to include ethics and values in high school science classes, conduct two pilot workshops, in Florida and Washington, in summer 2000, and revise the workshops and the text on which they are based in light of observations and evaluations. The investigators will maintain active contact with the participants to determine the impact the workshop experience has on their science teaching and the extent to which they influence other teachers to incorporate ethics and values in their science teaching, and develop plans for similar workshops in other states. The proposed project draws on results from two previous NSF-supported projects. The first involved summer workshops for science teachers in Long Island; the second involved the development of a text that used some of the materials from the summer workshops. This text includes educational materials on the important roles of ethics and values in the practice and the social use of science, six illustrative case studies and twenty-three model classroom lessons. These materials will be used in the pilot three-day workshops. Each workshop will have 25 participants. Planning for and execution of both workshops is being done with the collaboration of science program specialists in the offices of the public schools in those states.

这一试点项目将制定和实施一个讲习班模式，在全国范围内传播指导方针和教学材料，以便将科学、伦理和价值观等专题纳入中学科学课堂。该项目将举办一个为期三天的教学讲习班，帮助教师确定将道德和价值观纳入高中科学课程的方法，于2000年夏季在佛罗里达和华盛顿举办两个试点讲习班，并根据观察和评价修订讲习班及其所依据的教材。 研究人员将与参与者保持积极联系，以确定研讨会经验对他们的科学教学的影响，以及他们在多大程度上影响其他教师将伦理和价值观纳入他们的科学教学，并制定计划，在其他州举办类似的研讨会。拟议的项目借鉴了国家科学基金会以前支持的两个项目的成果。第一个是在长岛为科学教师举办暑期讲习班;第二个是利用暑期讲习班的一些材料编写一本教科书。本书包括关于道德和价值观在实践中的重要作用以及科学的社会应用的教育材料，六个说明性案例研究和二十三个示范课堂课程。 这些材料将用于为期三天的试点讲习班。 每个研讨会将有25名与会者。这两个讲习班的规划和执行都是与这些州公立学校办公室的科学方案专家合作进行的。
