GSE/DIS: THE SOUNDS OF PROGRESS: The Changing Role of Girls and Women in Science and Engineering

WAMC将制作并在全国范围内分发两种传播产品：第一部分是一系列八个长篇杂志式广播故事，讲述美国各地致力于为教育实践提供信息的基于研究的策略和方法，特别是在努力增加女孩和妇女参与STEM教育和劳动力的过程中；第二部分是一系列26个两分钟的广播故事，讲述历史上迷人的女性，她们克服了难以置信的障碍，为STEM领域和教育做出了重大贡献。这两个系列广播节目将通过WAMC的全国联合广播节目在全美播出——《我们的知识》，一个关于教育、教育政策、创新和研究的节目；51%是关于女性以及影响她们的问题和政策的节目。这些演讲还可以在WAMC的STEM女性网站（www.womeninscience.org）上收听，并以光盘的形式在全国发行。WAMC预计与该项目相关的以下更广泛的影响：-接触和教育全国广播听众，让他们了解国家为缩小STEM教育和职业中的性别差距所做的努力；-在教育界和青年妇女、父母和组织领导人的目标受众范围内接触和教育重要的全国受众；将基于性别的研究策略和方法的目标、方法、结果和影响告知教育实践；-接触和教育女孩和年轻女性的目标受众（优先强调少数民族和残疾人群），他们将有机会了解到STEM教育和职业是可能的，并且触手可及。这个项目的智力价值在于，WAMC的广播节目将全国的焦点放在了研究上，这些研究特别强调了教学风格、课程设计、教学方法等，这些研究有助于建立知识库，解决与学习中性别相关的差异，并促进了对学生兴趣、表现和职业选择产生积极影响的教育经验。此外，智力价值在于研究、制作和呈现高质量的广播节目，这些节目描绘了历史上在STEM领域和职业中成功女性的生活和工作。

WAMC will produce and nationally distribute two dissemination products: Part 1) A series of eight, long-form, magazine-style radio stories about research-based strategies and methods throughout the U.S. working to inform educational practice, specifically within the effort to increase the participation of girls and women in STEM education and workforce; and, Part 2) a series of 26 two-minute radio stories about fascinating women throughout history that have overcome incredible obstacles to make significant contributions to STEM fields and education. These two radio series will be broadcast throughout the US on WAMC's nationally-syndicated radio programs--The Best of Our Knowledge, a show about education, educational policy, innovation, and research; and 51%, a show about women and issues and policies affecting them. They will also be available for listening on WAMC's Women in STEM website (www.womeninscience.org), and distributed nationally on compact disc. WAMC anticipates the following broader impacts associated with this project:- Reaching and educating a nationwide audience of radio listeners about the national effort to close the gender gap in STEM education and careers;- Reaching and educating significant national audiences within the education community and within targeted audiences of young women, parents and organizational leaders; informing educational practices with regard to the objectives, methods, findings and impacts of gender-based research strategies and methods;- Reaching and educating a targeted audience of girls and young women (with a priority emphasis on minority and disabled populations) who will have the opportunity to learn that STEM education and careers are possible and within reach.The intellectual merit of this project lies in WAMC's radio programming placing a national spotlight on research which specifically highlights teaching styles, curriculum designs, pedagogical approaches, etc., that have contributed to the knowledge base addressing gender related differences in learning, and have promoted educational experiences that positively affect student interest, performance, and choice of careers. In addition, intellectual merit lies in the research, production and presentation of quality radio programming that depicts the lives and work of successful women in STEM fields and careers throughout history.
