DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Phase I and II application is designed to create and implement programs that better educate students regarding science concepts, the scientific inquiry process, and related careers. The Center of Excellence for Research, Teaching, and Learning (CERTL) at Wake Forest University Health Sciences (WFUHS), in partnership with the Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools (WS/FCS), SciWorks (science center and environmental park for Forsyth County), and the WFUHS General Clinical Research Center (GCRC), seeks support for a project to address the following objectives: Create inquiry-based lesson plans for elementary, middle, and high school classrooms that engage students in a deeper understanding of the relationship between classroom science, research science, clinical research, and the health of the general public; Provide focused professional development activities for K-12 teachers to effectively deliver inquiry-based lessons to K-12 students that deepen the understanding of the processes of scientific inquiry and its relationship to bench research, clinical research, and the health of the general public. The proposed project, entitled Research, Education, And Linking Science Careers: REAL Science Careers, is designed to achieve the objectives described above through one or more of these specific aims: Professional development for teachers in an inquiry-based methodology, Problem-Based Learning (PBL), designed to increase student understanding of scientific inquiry and to integrate science topics that currently not addressed in the standard course of study; Instructional material development to support inquiry-based lessons plans in the PBL methodology; Assisted classroom implementation of the PBL materials created for this project; Development of exhibits at SciWorks featuring current research on healthy lifestyle choices accompanied by traveling kiosks of each exhibit for schools and community display; An evaluation design to support systematic collection of data regarding the impact of inquiry-based instruction on a) students' knowledge and attitudes about science concepts, scientific inquiry, and the translation of these topics to the overall health of the general public. Phases I and II will serve 150 local teachers and approximately 13,500 students. Phase II will serve an additional 75 teachers and approximately 7,500 students outside of the funded area. Dissemination activities are expected to occur regionally, throughout the state, and nationally as described for this phase.

描述（由申请人提供）：此第一阶段和第二阶段应用程序旨在创建和实施更好地教育学生科学概念，科学探究过程和相关职业的计划。维克森林大学健康科学（WFUHS）的卓越研究、教学和学习中心（CERTL）与温斯顿-塞勒姆福赛斯县学校（WS/FCS）合作，SciWorks（福赛斯县的科学中心和环境公园）和WFUHS综合临床研究中心（GCRC）寻求对一个项目的支持，以实现以下目标：为小学，初中和高中课堂创建基于探究的课程计划，让学生更深入地了解课堂科学，研究科学，临床研究和公众健康之间的关系;为K-12教师提供有针对性的专业发展活动，以有效地为K-12学生提供基于探究的课程，加深对科学探究过程及其与实验室研究关系的理解，临床研究和公众健康。拟议的项目题为“研究、教育和科学职业的联系：真实的的科学职业”，旨在通过以下一个或多个具体目标实现上述目标：以探究为基础的方法，以问题为基础的学习（PBL），旨在提高学生对科学探究的理解，并整合目前标准课程中未涉及的科学主题，学习;开发教学材料，以支持PBL方法中基于探究的课程计划;协助课堂实施为本项目创建的PBL材料;在SciWorks开发展品，展示当前关于健康生活方式选择的研究，并为学校和社区展示每个展品的流动亭;一项评估设计，以支持系统收集关于探究式教学对以下方面影响的数据：a）学生对科学概念、科学探究、并将这些主题转化为公众的整体健康。第一和第二阶段将为150名当地教师和大约13 500名学生提供服务。第二阶段将为资助地区以外的另外75名教师和大约7 500名学生提供服务。如本阶段所述，预计将在区域、全州和全国范围内开展传播活动。
