Iterative Design to Engage All Learners ABSTRACT In 2016, high levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) were discovered in the Cape Fear River in eastern North Carolina (NC), part of NC's largest watershed and drinking water supply for over 1 million people. More recently, PFAS were detected in central NC, in the Haw River, which supplies drinking water for Pittsboro, NC, and in Jordan Lake, a recreational reservoir that also provides drinking water for several cities in the Research Triangle area. Although PFAS contamination has been detected in 49 states, biomedical researchers in NC are leading the way nationally in assessing the extent of PFAS contamination in waterways and air and in conducting studies on the effects of PFAS on human and ecosystem health. These chemicals have been used since the 1950s in a wide range of consumer products and have been found in the blood of people and animals worldwide. Research suggests that PFAS are harmful to human and animal health, with documented immune system impacts that may influence individual susceptibility to COVID-19. Using cutting- edge, interdisciplinary research on PFAS as a foundation, the Center for Public Engagement with Science in the UNC Institute for the Environment, proposes Iterative Design to Engage All (IDEA) Learners, with a goal of building the capacity of NC teachers, especially those in economically disadvantaged communities and those impacted by PFAS contamination, to introduce current biomedical science and career opportunities to diverse students. We will accomplish this goal through three specific aims: (1) Apply design thinking and design-based research approaches to co-develop, implement, and revise standards-aligned curriculum units that feature current research on the health effects of PFAS; (2) Increase teacher knowledge of current PFAS research and self-efficacy for incorporating current biomedical science into classroom instruction; and (3) Support participating teachers in promoting biomedical research careers to diverse students. Over five years, IDEA Learners will result in two curriculum units with up to eight PFAS-focused lessons that have been designed for NGSS and incorporate research-generated data and science and engineering practices relevant to biomedical research careers. These units will include videos that highlight diverse environmental health sciences researchers. Through long-duration professional development (PD), 48 teachers will deepen their content knowledge and improve their self-efficacy, positioning them to increase URM and female students' interest in current biomedical science instruction. An additional 48 teachers will participate in short-duration PD, and all teachers will have the potential to reach over 30,000 students during the project period. The project will lead to enhanced capacity to offer inclusive learning environments and improved support for URM, female, and LEP students, ultimately cultivating a more diverse future biomedical research workforce.

吸引所有学习者的迭代设计 抽象的 2016 年，在开普菲尔地区发现了高含量的全氟烷基物质和多氟烷基物质 (PFAS) 北卡罗来纳州 (NC) 东部的河流，是北卡罗来纳州最大流域的一部分，为超过 100 万人提供饮用水 人们。最近，在北卡罗来纳州中部的 Haw 河中检测到了 PFAS，该河为 北卡罗来纳州皮茨伯勒和乔丹湖，这是一个休闲水库，也为美国几个城市提供饮用水 研究三角区。尽管 49 个州已检测到 PFAS 污染，但生物医学 北卡罗来纳州的研究人员在评估水道中 PFAS 污染程度方面处于全国领先地位 和空气，并研究 PFAS 对人类和生态系统健康的影响。这些化学品 自 20 世纪 50 年代以来已广泛应用于各种消费品中，并在 全世界的人和动物。研究表明，PFAS 对人类和动物健康有害， 记录的免疫系统影响可能会影响个体对 COVID-19 的易感性。使用切割- 以 PFAS 为基础的边缘、跨学科研究，公众参与科学中心 北卡罗来纳大学环境研究所提出了让所有学习者参与的迭代设计（IDEA），其目标是 NC 教师的能力建设，特别是那些经济困难社区和那些 受 PFAS 污染影响，向不同群体介绍当前的生物医学科学和职业机会 学生。我们将通过三个具体目标来实现这一目标：（1）运用设计思维和设计为基础 共同开发、实施和修订符合标准的课程单元的研究方法 目前关于 PFAS 对健康影响的研究； (2) 增加教师对当前 PFAS 研究的了解和 将当前生物医学科学纳入课堂教学的自我效能感； (3) 支持参与 教师向不同的学生促进生物医学研究事业。五年内，IDEA 学习者将 形成两个课程单元，其中最多有八节以 PFAS 为重点的课程，这些课程是专为 NGSS 设计的 结合研究产生的数据以及与生物医学研究相关的科学和工程实践 职业生涯。这些单元将包括突出不同环境健康科学研究人员的视频。 通过长期专业发展（PD），48 名教师将加深他们的内容知识和 提高她们的自我效能感，使她们能够提高 URM 和女学生对当前生物医学的兴趣 科学指导。另外 48 名教师将参加短期 PD，所有教师都将获得 项目期间有望覆盖超过 30,000 名学生。该项目将增强以下方面的能力： 最终为 URM、女性和 LEP 学生提供包容性的学习环境和更好的支持 培养更加多元化的未来生物医学研究队伍。
