DESCRIPTION: A multimedia health education program will be developed using a series of problem-solving activities for grades 3-12, with programs developed for grades 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12. The program, entitled HealthWorks will provide an alternative to under-utilized health text books as an engaging learning tool for small groups in existing health and life-science curricula. Each episode is based on a dramatization of a health problem and students explore various resources to solve the problem. Resources include video interviews with key characters (students, parents, police, teachers), scientific data from lab work, books, and analogous situations. The scientific method is presented as the framework for solving the problem, teaching students how to develop and test hypotheses, collect and analyze information or data, and use the information to solve the health problem. An evaluation component will include focus group testing of prototypes, field testing using a control group, and confirmatory testing of any changes made in the program. Teachers will also be assessed qualitatively. A commercialization plan is presented which appears adequate to distribute the program to teachers and others. Substantial material is presented from the results of the Phase I study, which developed an evaluated a prototype episode for middle school students. The program was also provided on a CD-ROM and attests to the considerable attention given to the development of a comprehensive program that is also engaging and entertaining. Problems that were identified as students were evaluated using the prototype were addressed in the development of the Phase II proposal. These problems were relatively minor and did not detract from students use of the program. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: NOT AVAILABLE

描述：将制定多媒体健康教育计划 使用一系列3至12年级解决问题的活动， 为3 - 5、6-8和9 - 12年级开发的计划。 该计划，标题为 Healthworks将为未经填补的健康文本提供替代方案 书籍是现有健康中小组的引人入胜的学习工具 和生活科学课程。 每个情节都是基于戏剧化的 健康问题和学生探索各种资源来解决 问题。 资源包括与关键角色的视频采访 （学生，父母，警察，老师），实验室工作的科学数据， 书籍和类似情况。 科学方法表示为 解决问题的框架，教学生如何发展 并测试假设，收集和分析信息或数据，并使用 解决健康问题的信息。评估组件 将包括对原型的焦点组测试，使用 对照组，并确认对 程序。 教师也将进行定性评估。 一个 提出了商业化计划，似乎足以分发 该计划向教师和其他人。 从第一阶段研究的结果中提出了大量材料， 在中学开发了评估的原型插曲 学生。该程序也在CD-ROM上提供了 非常关注综合的发展 节目也引人入胜且有趣。 那是 使用原型评估了学生被确定为学生的评估 在第二阶段提案的发展中。 这些问题是 相对较小，并不损害学生对该计划的使用。 拟议的商业应用程序：不可用
