DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): How Sure Are You? Science, Biostatistics and Cancer Education for Grades 9-12 is a curriculum development and dissemination project to create four web-based teaching modules that will make it possible for high school teachers or other educators to readily access and make use of cancer education resources they otherwise might not consider well matched to their curriculum. The modules will address national science, mathematics, and health education standards using learning experiences and instructional strategies supported by research on effectively teaching diverse learners. Designed to address issues of under representation in clinical trials and STEM careers, specific aims for student learning are: (1) understanding of cancer, population studies, and clinical trials; (2) ability to design and present a valid scientific study; (3) ability to select and use appropriate statistical methods to analyze data; and (4) interest in science and STEM careers. The three-year development phase is an ongoing, iterative process of designing, piloting, evaluating, and revising modules. Each module will have six components: (1) 3-5 hands-on lessons with challenging problems and data sets, (2) an inquiry-based project, (3) suggestions for extension activities, (4) a performance-based assessment, (5) a profile of an NIH-supported cancer scientist or biostatistician from a STEM underrepresented group who is doing work related to the topic, and (6) links to other relevant resources. Modules will also serve as a professional development tool for teachers by providing the background and support necessary for effective teaching During the two-year dissemination phase, modules will undergo a national field test, be published via the SEPA website and promoted through national organizations of health education, science, and mathematics teachers (e.g., NSTA, NCTM, AAHE). The module topics selected from key mathematics, science inquiry, and health education standards are: (1) Characteristics of Distributions and Community Knowledge about Clinical Trials; (2) Randomization and Clinical Trials; (3) Causation vs. Correlation in Cancer Risks and Screenings ; and (4) Designing and Analyzing Cancer Population Studies. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by applicant): Are you Sure? curriculum modules will help students become citizens who are knowledgeable about clinical trials, population disparities in cancer research, and cancer prevention and able to make informed evidence-based health decisions.

描述（由申请人提供）：你有多确定？9-12年级的科学、生物统计学和癌症教育是一个课程开发和传播项目，旨在创建四个基于网络的教学模块，使高中教师或其他教育工作者能够轻松访问和利用癌症教育资源，否则他们可能会认为与他们的课程不匹配。这些模块将利用有效教学不同学习者的研究所支持的学习经验和教学战略，解决国家科学、数学和健康教育标准问题。旨在解决临床试验和STEM职业中代表性不足的问题，学生学习的具体目标是：（1）了解癌症，人口研究和临床试验;（2）设计和提出有效的科学研究的能力;（3）选择和使用适当的统计方法分析数据的能力;（4）对科学和STEM职业的兴趣。三年的开发阶段是一个持续的、反复的设计、试验、评估和修订模块的过程。每个模块将有六个组成部分：（1）3-5个具有挑战性的问题和数据集的实践课程，（2）基于调查的项目，（3）扩展活动的建议，（4）基于绩效的评估，（5）来自STEM代表性不足的群体的NIH支持的癌症科学家或生物统计学家的简介，他们正在做与主题相关的工作，（6）与其他相关资源的链接。模块还将作为教师的专业发展工具，为有效教学提供必要的背景和支持。在为期两年的传播阶段，模块将进行全国实地测试，通过SEPA网站发布，并通过全国卫生教育、科学和数学教师组织（例如，NSTA、NCTM、AAHE）。从关键数学，科学探究和健康教育标准中选择的模块主题是：（1）分布特征和临床试验的社区知识;（2）随机化和临床试验;（3）因果关系与癌症风险和筛查的相关性;（4）设计和分析癌症人群研究。 公共卫生相关性（由申请人提供）：您确定吗？课程模块将帮助学生成为了解临床试验、癌症研究中的人口差异和癌症预防的公民，并能够做出知情的循证健康决策。
