 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Developing Skills in Health Literacy (DSHL) project will develop innovative materials for teachers and students to improve the health literacy skills of middle and high school students. Health literacy is a stronger predictor of health than age, income, employment status, education level and race. Unfortunately, nearly 9 out of 10 adults have difficulty using everyday health information that is routinely available in our healthcare facilities, retail outlets, media and communities. Increasingly, adolescents are turning to the not-always-reliable Internet seeking health-related information. The DSHL project will develop a program accessible at no cost through a website that includes: Online, interactive modules for middle school and high school students each containing five inquiry-based lessons focused on developing skills needed to evaluate the accuracy and usefulness of health information. Students also will learn about career possibilities in the biomedical sciences. The modules will feature the research-based BSCS 5E Instructional Model and be tied explicitly to the Next Generation Science Standards. Online, implementation guides for middle school and high school teachers that include annotated step-by-step instructions for the lessons, background information, common ideas students have about health, answer keys, assessment strategies, examples of student work, advice on teaching controversial topics, and strategies for having students share their newly acquired knowledge with family, friends, or other members of the school community. The guides will also enhance teachers' abilities to use research- based pedagogy to increase the achievement and motivation of all students, especially those who are underrepresented in the sciences. The DSHL materials will be designed and disseminated using an eLearning platform. The online approach enables students to learn using their preferred medium and makes them available to anyone with access to the Internet. Development of the DSHL materials will involve collaboration between health literacy experts, science educators, classroom teachers, and education technology experts. This collaboration helps ensure that the materials are accurate, reflect best pedagogical practices, and are engaging for middle school and high school students and teachers. Rigorous evaluation and research will be an integral part of this project. During development, the DSHL materials will be pilot tested and field tested with students and teachers across the country. A well-powered, quasi-experimental efficacy study of the materials will examine the program's impact on student understanding of health literacy concepts, student motivation and interest in science and biomedical careers. The results of the efficacy study will provide valuable evidence about best practices for educators teaching health literacy.

 描述（由适用提供）：健康素养的发展技能（DSHL）项目将为教师和学生开发创新的材料，以提高中学生的健康素养技能。健康素养比年龄，收入，就业状况，教育水平和种族更为有力的健康预测指标。不幸的是，在我们的医疗机构，零售店，媒体和社区中，使用日常健康信息中，有10名成年人中有近9个困难。青少年越来越多 向不受欢迎的互联网寻求与健康相关的信息。 DSHL项目将通过网站免费开发一项计划，其中包括：在线的，中学和高中生的在线互动模块，每个模块都包含五个基于查询的课程，重点是开发评估健康信息准确性和实用性所需的技能。学生还将了解生物医学科学中的职业可能性。这些模块将以基于研究的BSCS 5E教学模型为特色，并明确与下一代科学标准相关。在线，针对中学和高中教师的实施指南，包括带注释的课程，背景信息，学生对健康，答案键，评估策略，学生工作的示例，有关教学有争议的主题的建议以及让学生与家人，家人，朋友或学校社区的其他知识共享的策略的常见想法。指南还将增强教师使用基于研究的教学法的能力，以增加所有学生的成就和动力，尤其是那些在科学中的人数不足的学生。 DSHL材料将使用电子学习平台设计和传播。在线方法使学生能够使用自己的首选媒介学习，并使他们可以使用访问互联网的任何人使用。 DSHL材料的开发将涉及健康素养专家，科学教育专家，课堂教师和教育技术专家之间的合作。这种合作有助于确保材料准确，反映最佳的教学实践，并为中学，高中生和老师而参与其中。严格的评估和研究将是该项目不可或缺的一部分。在开发过程中，DSHL材料将进行试点测试和现场测试，并与全国各地的学生和老师进行测试。对材料进行的精力，准实验的有效性研究将研究该计划对学生对健康素养概念，学生动机和对科学和生物医学职业的兴趣的影响。效率研究的结果将为教育健康素养的最佳实践提供宝贵的证据。
