项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Genetic Science Learning Center (GSLC) at the University of Utah will utilize its award-winning expertise in developing effective multimedia learning experiences to produce two life science curriculum supplement modules. These materials will engage secondary-level students, teachers and the public in exploring the question "What goes on inside my body?" The modules will address: (a) the molecular physiology of how our body obtains, transforms, transports and uses the matter and energy required to sustain it, and (b) the neurobiology of what our body does with sensory input and the relationship of this input to attention, learning and memory. The modules will highlight the connections between these topics and related science concepts typically addressed in separate textbook units. They thus will assist students in building a deeper understanding of key ideas needed for science literacy in the 21st Century while engaging digital-age learners. The goals of the project are to: (1) Educate secondary-level students, teachers and the public about human physiology and neurobiology so that they can make informed choices for improved health and learning, and (2) Prepare teachers to use the Inside Your Body curriculum modules through professional development courses and workshops at the local, state, regional and national levels. The project will take full advantage of the GSLC team's synergistic expertise in science, education, multimedia visualization, technology, and evaluation, building on our 16 years of experience in producing highly successful online curriculum materials and teacher professional development programs. Production of the modules will use the GSLC's proven curriculum development process. This process incorporates a participatory design approach that includes secondary life science teachers, scientists, and our entire team. The modules will include (a) inquiry-based, user-focused, multimedia visualizations and interactive learning experiences, (b) user-driven multimedia presentations, (c) "Learn More" web pages, (d) non-technology-based learning experiences, (e) detailed learning experience guides for teachers, and (f) multimedia teacher professional development materials. The curriculum modules will be piloted tested in classrooms with diverse students, garnering feedback for refinement. Small-scale randomized controlled trials will compare the efficacy of the modules to standard curriculum materials. A professional development summer institute and conference workshops will prepare approximately 500 teachers from across the US to use the materials with their students and train 30 teachers in presenting dissemination workshops for colleagues in their district or state. The curriculum modules will be freely disseminated worldwide via the GSLC's award-winning Learn. Genetics and Teach.Genetics websites. Based on current usage, the modules have the potential to improve biology education for millions of students, over a million teachers and over a million other adults each year.

描述（由申请人提供）：遗传科学学习中心（GSLC）在犹他州的大学将利用其在开发有效的多媒体学习经验，以生产两个生命科学课程补充模块获奖的专业知识。这些材料将使中学生、教师和公众探讨“我的身体里发生了什么？“这些单元将涉及：（a）我们的身体如何获得、转化、运输和使用维持它所需的物质和能量的分子生理学，以及（B）我们的身体如何处理感觉输入的神经生物学，以及这种输入与注意力、学习和记忆的关系。这些模块将突出这些主题与通常在单独的教科书单元中讨论的相关科学概念之间的联系。因此，他们将帮助学生建立在21世纪科学素养所需的关键思想的更深入的理解，同时从事数字时代的学习者。该项目的目标是：（1）对中学生、教师和公众进行人体生理学和神经生物学教育，使他们能够为改善健康和学习做出知情选择;（2）通过地方、州、区域和国家各级的专业发展课程和讲习班，使教师做好使用“身体内部”课程模块的准备。该项目将充分利用GSLC团队在科学，教育，多媒体可视化，技术和评估方面的协同专业知识，建立在我们16年制作非常成功的在线课程材料和教师专业发展计划的经验基础上。这些单元的制作将使用GSLC经过验证的课程开发过程。这一过程采用了参与式设计方法，包括中学生命科学教师，科学家和我们的整个团队。这些单元将包括：（a）以调查为基础、以用户为中心的多媒体可视化和互动学习经验;（B）用户驱动的多媒体演示;（c）“了解更多”网页;（d）非技术性学习经验;（e）教师学习经验详细指南;（f）多媒体教师专业发展材料。这些课程模块将在有不同学生的教室里进行试点测试，收集反馈意见以供改进。小规模的随机对照试验将比较模块的有效性标准课程材料。一个专业发展暑期研究所和会议讲习班将准备来自美国各地的大约500名教师与他们的学生一起使用这些材料，并培训30名教师为他们所在地区或州的同事举办传播讲习班。课程模块将通过GSLC屡获殊荣的Learn在全球范围内免费传播。遗传学和教学。遗传学网站。根据目前的使用情况，这些模块有可能每年为数百万学生、100多万教师和100多万其他成年人改善生物学教育。
