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

描述(由调查人员提供)：与时间、成本和忠诚度有关的障碍继续阻碍循证药物使用预防课程的采用和有效实施。为了促进教育工作者在学校有效地使用循证计划，Keneko Communications将创建一个基于技能的教师培训光盘的原型，以实施Keepin‘It Real，这是一个基于文化的药物使用预防课程，已证明在减少中学生吸烟、酒精和大麻使用方面有效。这一第一阶段项目的目的是确定制作和使用交互式光盘培训和在线培训支持的技术优势和可行性，以使教师做好准备，忠实地实施Keepin‘it Real课程。设计有三个目标：1)评估学校使用互动唯读光碟培训和网上实施支援的能力和兴趣程度；2)制作一个原型唯读光碟小模组，让教师为教授课程中以技能为本的主要活动作好准备；及3)评估教师对唯读光碟在教师培训方面的满意程度、表现和接受程度。20名教师将使用该光盘。他们的经验结果将通过纸质/铅笔调查和电话访谈方式收集，并采用结构化方案。

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.
