项目摘要

Project Summary The SBIR project will develop a web-based interactive digital media product for teachers and students in grades K-8. The digital media will take the form of multimodal content and digital tools that investigate the risks of exposure to hazards in the air, water, food supply, and in consumer products—especially those that disproportionately affect the nation's 23 million low- income and English Learner students and are relevant to their homes and geographies. The product will employ a unique multimodal, language-based approach to teaching environmental health literacy that aligns with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) "3-D" learning model. The long-term objectives will be to dramatically improve environmental health literacy, increase awareness of exposure risks, and to promote risk-avoidance behaviors. The specific aims for Phase I will be to demonstrate technical feasibility using an initial set of content at four grade levels, to develop a new digital science notebook technology to support the NGSS practices, to test the feasibility of classroom implementation and potential learning outcomes, and to collect measurable indicators of commercial success. The initial set of content will include units on air, water, food, and consumer product hazards. Phase I research will test feasibility in a three-stage study: (1) expert and teacher review, (2) usability lab testing, and (3) classroom pilot testing with classes across four grade levels over an 8-week period at a diverse K-8 inner city school in an NGSS adoption state. Investigators will use a combination of direct observation, usage data collected by the prototype, and structured interviews with teachers and experts to answer the key research questions. Phase II will include an RCT efficacy study. The new product will use a novel teaching method that integrates the four language domains (listening, speaking, reading and writing) with inquiry-based, NGSS-aligned investigation of scientific phenomena relevant to the targeted hazards, such as exposure to lead, mold, food contaminants, or nanoparticles. Preliminary data from National Science Foundation-sponsored research indicate that this approach can be highly effective, tripling the rate of learning new science concepts among elementary students. This will be the first project to ever apply the new method and supporting technologies to environmental health literacy. The proposed product has strong commercial potential because it will be integrated and interoperable with a broader product line that is targeted to the company's base of leading K-12 school district customers. !1

项目摘要 SBIR项目将为教师和 K-8年级的学生。数字媒体将采用多模式内容和数字形式调查暴露于空气，水，食物供应和IN危险风险的工具消费产品，尤其是那些不成比例地影响美国2300万低点的产品收入和英国学习者的学生，与他们的房屋和地理学相关。产品将采用独特的多模式，基于语言的教学方法与下一代科学标准（NGSS）“ 3-D”学习相吻合的健康素养模型。长期目标是显着提高环境健康素养，提高人们对风险的认识，并促进避免风险行为。第一阶段的具体目的是使用一组初始集证明技术可行性四年级的内容，开发新的数字科学笔记本技术来支持 NGSS实践，以测试课堂实施和潜在学习的可行性结果，并收集可衡量的商业成功指标。最初的内容集将包括空中，水，食物和消费者产品危害的单位。第一阶段研究将测试三阶段研究的可行性：（1）专家和教师评论，（2）可用性实验室测试，（3）在8周的潜水员期间，在四年级的课堂飞行员测试在四年级的课程 NGSS收养状态的K-8内城学校。调查人员将结合直接观察，原型收集的用法数据以及与教师的结构化访谈以及专家回答关键研究问题。第二阶段将包括RCT效率研究。新产品将使用一种新颖的教学方法来整合四个语言领域（聆听，说话，阅读和写作）通过基于询问的NGSS协调一致的调查科学现象与目标危害有关，例如暴露于铅，霉菌，食物污染物或纳米颗粒。国家科学基金会赞助的初步数据研究表明，这种方法可以非常有效，将学习速度增加了三倍小学生的科学概念。这将是有史以来第一个应用新的项目环境健康素养的方法和支持技术。提议的产品具有强大的商业潜力，因为它将与更广泛的产品线针对公司领先的K-12学区客户的基础。！1
