How sure are you? Science, Biostatistics and Cancer Education

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，将使高中教师或其他 教育工作者可以随时获取和利用他们的癌症教育资源 否则可能会被认为与他们的课程不太匹配。这些模块将 满足国家科学、数学和健康教育标准 研究支持的学习经验和教学策略 有效教授不同的学习者。旨在解决以下问题 在临床试验和STEM职业生涯中代表性不足，针对学生的具体目标 学习内容包括：(1)对癌症、人口研究和临床试验的了解； (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；以及(4)对科学的兴趣 和STEM职业生涯。三年的开发阶段是一个持续、迭代的阶段 设计、试行、评估和修改模块的过程。每个模块 将包括六个部分：(1)3-5节具有挑战性问题的实践课程 和数据集，(2)基于查询的项目，(3)推广建议 活动，(4)基于业绩的评估，(5)国家卫生研究院支助的概况 来自STEM代表性不足群体的癌症科学家或生物统计学家 做与主题相关的工作，以及(6)链接到其他相关资源。模块 也将作为教师的专业发展工具，通过提供 两年制有效教学所需的背景和支持 在传播阶段，模块将接受全国现场测试，将通过 国家环保总局网站，并通过国家卫生组织进行推广 教育、科学和数学教师(例如，NSTA、NCTM、AAHE)。这个 从关键的数学、科学探究和健康中挑选的单元主题 教育标准是：(1)分布和社区的特点 临床试验知识；(2)随机和临床试验；(3) 癌症风险和筛查中的因果关系和相关性；以及(4)设计 和分析癌症人口研究

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 underrepresentation 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
