DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Center for Educational Technologies (CET) proposes a five-year Phase I & II development and dissemination project called CyberSurgeons. Through this project, the CET will increase the knowledge of high school students taking biology, physiology, or related classes. In particular students will gain a greater understanding of human pathophysiology and the process of biomedical research and clinical trials. The project will influence the future of public health through encouraging students' future participation in the clinical research enterprise and promoting greater career awareness of occupations in these fields. The CET will develop two components for students based on national standards. The first component is the CyberSurgeons live simulation, conducted through distance learning technologies. The simulation features students working as part of a high-tech "remote trauma unit" in medical-surgical teams to diagnose and treat an ailing researcher deep in the rainforests of Ecuador. The second component is an online CyberSurgeons problem-based learning (PBL) module which features a "problem" about the quality of a cancer drug, with case studies, science articles, datasets and charts to analyze, hands-on inquiry-based activities, and teacher support materials. Both components include optional activities promoting awareness of careers in biomedicine. During the development process, the CET will conduct design-based evaluation. The live simulation and PBL components will each have two cycles of development, classroom testing, formative evaluation, and revisions. An external evaluator will conduct a summative research study utilizing a quasi-experimental design to demonstrate the effectiveness of the modules in classrooms. Dependent measures will be science literacy, science-related attitudes, and career development. Program dissemination will utilize a multimodal, multifaceted approach with the goal of program sustainability past the grant period. In the first three years, partnerships will involve three school districts in the development and testing process. In the final two years, the program will be promoted regionally, then nationally-doubling program outreach each year. Additionally, the program will be promoted among informal science education entities such as science centers and Challenger Learning Centers. Other dissemination means include conferences, workshops, promotional mailings, and research papers.

描述（由申请人提供）：教育技术中心（CET）提出了一个为期五年的第一和第二阶段的发展和传播项目，称为网络外科医生。通过这个项目，CET将增加高中生的生物学，生理学或相关课程的知识。特别是学生将获得对人类病理生理学和生物医学研究和临床试验过程的更深入的了解。该项目将通过鼓励学生未来参与临床研究企业和促进这些领域职业的职业意识来影响公共卫生的未来。CET将根据国家标准为学生制定两个组成部分。第一个组成部分是通过远程学习技术进行的网络外科医生现场模拟。模拟的特点是学生作为医疗外科团队中高科技“远程创伤单元”的一部分，在厄瓜多尔热带雨林深处诊断和治疗一名患病的研究人员。第二个部分是在线CyberSurgeons基于问题的学习（PBL）模块，其特点是关于癌症药物质量的“问题”，案例研究，科学文章，数据集和图表分析，基于实践的探究活动和教师支持材料。这两个组成部分都包括促进对生物医学职业的认识的可选活动。 在开发过程中，CET将进行基于设计的评估。现场模拟和PBL组件将分别有两个开发周期，课堂测试，形成性评估和修订。一名外部评估人员将利用准实验设计进行总结性研究，以证明这些单元在课堂上的有效性。相关的措施将是科学素养，科学相关的态度和职业发展。 计划传播将采用多模式，多方面的方法，目标是在赠款期后实现计划的可持续性。在头三年，伙伴关系将涉及三个学区的开发和测试过程。在最后两年，该计划将在区域范围内推广，然后每年在全国范围内扩大一倍。此外，该计划将在科学中心和挑战者学习中心等非正式科学教育实体中推广。其他传播手段包括会议、讲习班、宣传邮件和研究论文。
