项目摘要

Exploratorium’s The Phenomenal Genome: Evolving Public Understanding of Genetics in the Post-Mendelian Era project addresses the increasing need to develop genomic literacy in the public at large. The explosion of genomics research over the past two decades has led to an increasingly complex picture of the determinants of human health and human phenotypes, and the applications of this research are now making their way into the clinic, the media, and the hands of consumers. The goal of this project is to create a model for increasing genomic literacy through Informal Science Education programming (ISE), creating a pathway for better decision making for the health of individuals and society at large. The Phenomenal Genome focuses on general science museum visitors and teachers of middle and high school students. The core of the Exploratorium’s approach to science education is the creation of intriguing, provocative and investigable phenomena that are experienced directly and personally through exhibits, facilitated explorations, programs, and teacher professional development. Over two years, we will develop, test, and iterate inquiry-based professional development to help teachers develop understanding and integrate the principles of contemporary genomics and genetics into their classrooms. 120 middle and high school teachers will be served during this period, and many more beyond that, as the activities and workshops developed become a regular part of our teacher professional development programming. A learning scientist specializing in teacher learning will conduct research to determine which approaches and experiences are most effective for this context, and why. In a parallel process, we will develop and test exhibits and experiences on the museum floor for museum visitors, using a similar iterative process of prototype testing with an embedded learning scientist to study visitor learning. We plan to define the approaches that work across audiences and contexts, as well as those that work best in particular contexts. Through this work, we will develop new resources for teaching and learning contemporary genomics and genetics, and identify promising practices in communicating contemporary genomics and genetics in informal spaces across audiences. We will disseminate our findings via conferences, peer-reviewed articles, and workshops for the ISE community.

Exploratorium 的现象基因组：不断发展的公众对遗传学的理解后孟德尔时代项目解决了人们日益增长的基因组素养需求广大公众。过去二十年基因组学研究的爆炸式增长导致了人类健康和人类表型的决定因素日益复杂，以及这项研究的应用现已进入临床、媒体和社会消费者手中。该项目的目标是创建一个提高基因组素养的模型通过非正式科学教育计划（ISE），为更好的决策创造途径为个人和整个社会的健康做出贡献。现象基因组专注于一般科学博物馆的参观者和中学生和高中生的老师。探索馆科学教育方法的核心是创造有趣的、直接和个人经历过的具有挑衅性和可调查性的现象展览、促进探索、项目和教师专业发展。超过两多年来，我们将开发、测试和迭代基于探究的专业发展，以帮助教师加深对当代基因组学和遗传学原理的理解并将其整合到他们的教室。在此期间将服务120名初高中教师，以及除此之外，随着活动和研讨会的发展成为定期的一部分我们的教师专业发展规划。专门研究教师的学习科学家学习将进行研究以确定哪些方法和经验最有效对于这种情况有效，以及为什么。在并行过程中，我们将在博物馆地板上开发和测试展品和体验博物馆参观者，使用类似的带有嵌入式原型测试的迭代过程学习科学家研究访客学习。我们计划定义跨领域工作的方法受众和环境，以及在特定环境中最有效的内容。通过这项工作，我们将为当代教学开发新资源基因组学和遗传学，并确定交流当代的有前途的实践面向受众的非正式空间中的基因组学和遗传学。我们将传播我们的发现通过 ISE 社区的会议、同行评审文章和研讨会。
