Project Summary The purpose of this SEPA project is to design and field-test The Science of Essential Balance (SEB) curriculum for high schools. Building on an established university-public school SEPA Partnership including 5 school districts in the Piedmont region of North Carolina, this project seeks to develop a 40 lesson curriculum to teach the science about energy-balanced living in Healthful Living Course of Study. The curriculum will incorporate mobile technology to deliver course assignments that lead students through the 5-E science learning cycle to engage, experiment, explain, elaborate, and evaluate data they collect from themselves about nutrients (especially calories) intake and expenditure. Learning the science about energy balance in the physically active healthful living lessons will provide opportunities for students to study the relationship between nutrition, exercise, injury prevention, and obesity prevention using scientific inquiry processes. The knowledge learned from this SEB curriculum may form a foundation for students to further study and understand preventive medicine. Efficacy of the curriculum will be determined in an Evaluation Study (Phase 1) and a Dissemination Study (Phase 2). In the Evaluation Study, 20 high schools from the established SEPA Partnership districts will be randomly assigned to either the SEB condition or a control condition in the first three project years. A quasi-experiment design will be used in the Dissemination Study to determine the sustainability and transferability of the SEB curriculum using a sample across the U.S. The curriculum efficacy evaluation will be based on evidence representing student achievement outcome, teacher assessment of the curriculum, and community satisfaction about students’ understanding demonstrated in student-led community events. A three-level Hierarchical Linear Model will be used in both studies to ensure validity, reliability, and generalizability of evidence for curriculum efficacy.

项目摘要 这个SEPA项目的目的是设计和实地测试基本平衡科学（SEB） 高中课程。在建立大学-公立学校SEPA伙伴关系的基础上， 在北卡罗来纳州的皮埃蒙特地区的一个学区，这个项目旨在开发一个40课的课程 在健康生活课程中教授能量平衡生活的科学。课程将 结合移动的技术来交付课程作业，引导学生完成5-E科学 学习周期参与，实验，解释，阐述和评估他们从自己收集的数据， 营养素（特别是卡路里）的摄入和消耗。学习有关能源平衡的科学， 体育活动的健康生活课程将为学生提供研究关系的机会， 营养、锻炼、预防受伤和预防肥胖之间的联系。的 从SEB课程中学到的知识可以为学生进一步学习奠定基础， 了解预防医学。课程的有效性将在评估研究（第1阶段）中确定 传播研究（第二阶段）。在评估研究中，来自已成立的SEPA的20所高中 合作地区将被随机分配到SEB条件或控制条件， 三个项目年。传播研究将采用准实验设计，以确定 SEB课程的可持续性和可转移性，使用美国各地的样本。 评估将基于代表学生成绩结果的证据，教师对 课程，以及社区对学生在学生主导社区中的理解的满意度 事件两项研究均采用三级分层线性模型，以确保有效性、可靠性和 课程效能证据的普遍性。
