DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project will provide an innovative contribution to the field of science learning by developing a new generation of learning materials that blends formal and informal learning experiences that relate gene- environment interactions to natural selection and ties these interactions to health issues of relevance to community members using the core ideas from the Framework for K-12 Science Education and the Next Generation Science Standards. The digital curriculum materials we will develop will provide 7th and 8th grade students with a framework for learning genomics (including gene-environment relationships) and evolution. The materials will use the approach of inquiry-based science education, will incorporate multi-media materials and the use of interactive technology by students, will include ethical discussion of genomics issues, and will link informal and community activities to those that happen in the classroom. The materials will be developed utilizing a modified learning goals driven learning process that is the product of more than 20 years of science education research conducted by members of the project team. The project will develop a model partnership joining the two universities developing the curriculum with the public school systems in Flint and Detroit, as well as science and history museums, libraries and community- based organizations in both communities. Museum exhibits will elaborate on topics covered in the curriculum, providing evidence for student classroom-assigned projects. Libraries and community-based organizations will host events at which students will share their work and will engage in discussion of ethical, social and policy issues related to genomics with their parents and other adults. Students will take field trips to genomics research facilities and genomics professionals will visit classrooms. These informal science education activities will be planned to strengthen student learning while advancing genomic literacy among the community. The project's evaluation plan will incorporate formative and summative evaluation as the curriculum is designed, tested and iteratively revised, with interim summative assessment at the end of year 3 and final summative assessment in year 5, as the curriculum and community efforts are packaged for broader use. The project's dissemination plan will utilize publications, presentations, and an interactive web site to share the project's design, experience, and findings, both during its implementation and at the project's conclusion. Since 75 percent of Detroit students and 96% of Detroit students are African American and Latino (combined) the project will reduce the achievement gap in science learning and stimulate interest among minorities to enter science and health careers.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目将为科学学习领域做出创新贡献，开发新一代学习材料，将正式和非正式的学习经验结合起来，将基因-环境相互作用与自然选择联系起来，并将这些相互作用与社区成员相关的健康问题联系起来，使用《K-12科学教育框架》和《下一代科学标准》的核心思想。我们将开发的数字课程材料将为七年级和八年级的学生提供学习基因组学（包括基因-环境关系）和进化的框架。教材将采用探究式科学教育的方法，将结合多媒体材料和学生对互动技术的使用，将包括基因组学问题的伦理讨论，并将非正式和社区活动与课堂上发生的活动联系起来。这些材料将利用一个改进的学习目标驱动的学习过程来开发，这个过程是由项目团队成员进行的20多年的科学教育研究的产物。
