DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): People in the 21st century face ancient killers like Malaria, new deadly threats such as HIV/AIDS, and dramatic increases in autoimmune and allergic diseases. Solving these challenges will require an informed, scientifically literate general public and sufficient biomedical researchers with appropriate training. Currently the US is not on track to meet either of these needs. Science education problems begin in elementary school. Early experiences develop students' science interest and knowledge, and contribute to later success in science-related careers. But each year, many students, particularly from low-income and other disadvantaged groups, lose interest or fail in elementary school science-and never catch up afterward. To help address these educational disparities and challenges, Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) will lead the development, evaluation and dissemination of new science and health teaching resources for elementary school audiences to improve students' science learning experiences and career awareness using examples from infectious diseases and allergy research. The proposed materials would introduce science and health topics of high priority to NIAID into elementary school classrooms, while also helping to address national needs for high-quality, low-cost teaching resources and professional development. The project teams Baylor College of Medicine (BCM), the Harris County (Texas) Department of Education, and children's artist, T Lewis. The project will be evaluated in schools with high enrollments of underrepresented minority and economically disadvantaged students. Project specific aims are to: 1) Recruit and support a national team of teacher leaders, who will work together and with scientists, clinicians and educators to guide the development of three science and health inquiry supplementary curriculum modules (one each for grades K-1, 2-3 and 4-5), designed to provide 3-6 weeks of inquiry-based instruction, with connections to reading/language arts; 2) Successively field test each curriculum module and supporting materials using a well-matched comparison group study design; 3) Revise the modules and supporting materials based on field test outcomes; and develop web-based tools-such as forums, streaming video lesson demonstrations and downloadable teaching materials-to create a dynamic, web-based curricular and professional development resource for teachers; 4) Disseminate the curriculum and related resources-lesson demonstrations, teacher professional development sessions, and student activities and materials-via the established, high traffic websites, BioEd Online (www.bioedonline.org) and K8 Science (www.k8science.org), and through other, more traditional pathways to reach national audiences with high quality, low-cost science teaching resources. All aspects of the project will be evaluated, both formatively and summatively, to gauge (1) the quality and effectiveness with which project components are delivered and implemented, and (2) the overall value of the experiences provided to teachers and students.

描述（由申请人提供）：世纪的人们面临着古老的杀手，如疟疾，新的致命威胁，如艾滋病毒/艾滋病，以及自身免疫和过敏性疾病的急剧增加。要解决这些挑战，就需要有知情的、具有科学素养的公众和足够的、受过适当培训的生物医学研究人员。目前，美国还无法满足这两种需求。科学教育问题开始在小学。早期的经验培养学生的科学兴趣和知识，并有助于以后在科学相关的职业生涯中取得成功。但每年都有许多学生，特别是来自低收入家庭和其他弱势群体的学生，对小学科学失去兴趣或不及格，而且后来再也没有赶上。为了帮助解决这些教育差距和挑战，贝勒医学院（Baylor College of Medicine）将领导为小学观众开发，评估和传播新的科学和健康教学资源，以提高学生的科学学习经验和职业意识，使用传染病和过敏研究的例子。拟议的材料将把国家影响和发展研究所高度重视的科学和健康专题引入小学课堂，同时也有助于满足国家对高质量、低成本教学资源和专业发展的需求。该项目由贝勒医学院（Baylor College of Medicine）、哈里斯县（Harris County）教育部和儿童艺术家T刘易斯（T Lewis）组成。该项目将在少数民族和经济困难学生入学率高的学校进行评估。项目的具体目标是：（1）征聘和支持一个国家教师领导小组，他们将与科学家、临床医生和教育工作者共同努力，指导三个科学和健康探究补充课程模块的开发（K-1、2-3和4-5年级各一个），旨在提供3-6周的探究式教学，并与阅读/语言艺术相联系; 2）采用匹配良好的对照组研究设计，连续实地测试每个课程模块和辅助材料; 3）根据实地测试结果修订模块和辅助材料;并开发基于网络的工具，如论坛，流式视频课程演示和可下载的教学材料，以创建一个动态的，为教师提供基于网络的课程和专业发展资源; 4）通过现有的高流量网站BioEd Online（www.example.com）和K8 Science（www.example.com）以及其他更传统的途径向全国受众传播课程和相关资源--课堂演示、教师专业发展会议、学生活动和材料www.bioedonline.orgwww.k8science.org。该项目的各个方面将进行评估，既形成和总结，以衡量（1）质量和有效性与该项目组件交付和实施，（2）提供给教师和学生的经验的整体价值。
