Keepin'It Real: An Interactive CD-ROM for Teachers

描述（由研究者提供）：与时间、成本和保真度相关的障碍继续阻碍以证据为基础的物质使用预防课程的采用和有效实施。为了促进学校教育工作者有效利用基于证据的方案，Keneko通信公司将制作一个基于技能的教师培训光盘的原型，以实施基于文化的物质使用预防课程“保持真实”，该课程已被证明有效地减少了中学生青少年的烟草、酒精和大麻使用。这个第一阶段项目的目的是确定制作和使用互动式唯读光碟培训和网上培训支持的技术价值和可行性，以使教师能够忠实地实施“保持真实”课程。三个目标指导设计：1)评估学校使用交互式光盘培训和在线实施支持的能力和兴趣水平；2)制作一个原型CD-ROM迷你模块，使教师能够教授课程中的关键技能活动；3)评估教师对教师培训光盘的满意度、绩效和接受度。20位老师将使用光盘。他们的经验结果将通过纸/笔调查和使用结构化协议的电话访谈收集。

DESCRIPTION (provided by investigator): Barriers related to time, cost, and fidelity continues to impede the adoption and effective implementation of evidence-based substance use prevention curricula. To promote effective use of evidence-based programs by educators in schools, Keneko Communications will create a prototype of a skills-based teacher training CD-ROM to implement Keepin' It Real, a culturally-based substance use prevention curricula which has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing tobacco, alcohol and marijuana use in middle school youth. The aim of this Phase I project is to establish the technical merit and feasibility of producing and using interactive CD-ROM training and online training support for preparing teachers to implement the Keepin' It Real curriculum with fidelity. Three objectives guide the design: 1) Evaluate the capability and level of interest of schools to use the interactive CD-ROM training and online implementation support; 2) Produce a prototype CD-ROM mini-module to prepare teachers to teach a key skills-based activity from the curriculum; and 3) Evaluate teachers' satisfaction, performance and acceptance of the CD-ROM for teacher training. Twenty teachers will use the CD-ROM. Results of their experience will be collected through paper/pencil surveys and telephone interviews using a structured protocol.
