HUMAN GENOME EDUCATION PROGRAM

及其在基因筛选和重组中的应用 药物及其在基因治疗中的应用潜力，信息 由人类基因组计划获得的将对公众产生深远影响 健康。项目7的长期目标是帮助准备高 学校教师、他们的学生和加利福尼亚州的公众 在个人、道德和社会问题上做出明智的决定 由人类基因组计划在医学和其他领域的工作提出 这将影响他们的生活。这一目标将通过以下方式实现 将两个经过验证的项目纳入综合教育外展计划 旨在为人们提供对科学的工作理解 背后，社会/伦理和公共政策的应用 基因组计划提出的问题。这项教育计划包括 九个具体目标。第一个具体目标是开发和现场测试 高中课堂--整合实验室的人类基因组课程 为解决教育目标而进行的实验和伦理决策 如上所述。第二、第三、第四条的具体目标 目标是通过以下方式支持人类基因组课程的实施 为教师提供必要的要素，使他们能够介绍 面向学生的课程：专业的在职教育，获得 材料和设备，以及项目人员提供的课堂协助 以及当地的科学家。第五个具体目标是帮助发展科学 教育伙伴关系将传播和持续实施 人类基因组课程远远超出了本提案的范围。这个 第六个具体目标是让高中生和普通公众 在斯坦福人类基因组中心的互动之旅中 迷惑科学研究，增进对人类的理解 基因组计划科学。第七、第八、第九个具体目标 通过以下方式实现上述面向公众的教育目标 提供一系列课程和讲座，通过调整人类基因组 两个科普博物馆(旧金山探索博物馆)使用的课程 旧金山和圣何塞科技创新博物馆)，并通过举办 学校开放日，学生向父母传授所学知识 使用人类基因组课程学习。

With its applications for genetic screening and recombinant pharmaceuticals, and its potential for use in gene therapy, the information obtained by the Human Genome Project will have a profound impact on public health. The long term objective of Project 7 is to help prepare high school teachers, their students, and the general public in California to make educated decisions on the personal, ethical, and social questions raised by the work of the Human Genome Project in medicine and other areas that will affect their lives. This objective will be achieved by combining two proven projects into an integrated educational outreach program designed to provide people with a working understanding the science behind, the applications of, and the social/ethical and public policy issues raised by the Genome Project. The educational program consists of nine specific aims. The first specific aim is to develop and field test in high school classrooms a Human Genome Curriculum that integrates laboratory experiments and ethical decision-making to address the educational goals described above. The objective of the second, third, an fourth specific aims is to support implementation of the Human Genome Curriculum by providing teachers with the elements necessary for them to present the curriculum to students: professional in-service education, access to materials and equipment, and classroom assistance from program personnel and local scientists. The fifth specific aim is to help develop science education partnerships that will disseminate and sustain implementation of the Human Genome Curriculum well beyond the scope of this proposal. The sixth specific aim is to bring high school students and the general public on interactive tours of the Stanford Human Genome Center in order to de- mystify scientific research and to enhance their understanding of human Genome Project science. The seventh, eighth, and ninth specific aims address the educational goals described above for the general public, by providing a series of classes and lectures, by adapting the Human Genome Curriculum for use in two popular science museums (The Exploratorium in San Francisco and the Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose), and by holding school open houses where students teach their parents what they have learned using the Human Genome Curriculum.
