A Teacher Training Program: The Science, Techniques and Ethics of Molecular Biology

教师培训计划：科学，分子生物学的技术和伦理这个项目旨在为来自加利福尼亚州的288名在职高中生物教师提供关于分子生物学和生物技术最新发现的原理和技术的强化培训，以及使用这项技术的伦理和社会影响。这项为期三年的计划将在加州州立大学和加州大学校园内的三个(第一年)、四个(第二年)和五个(第三年)浓缩中心提供培训。每年夏天，每个浓缩中心都将提供为期两周的实验室研讨会，内容涉及分子生物学的理论和方法，包括DNA分离、凝胶电泳、限制性内切酶和细菌细胞转化。在实验室研讨会结束后，所有参与者将聚集在一起参加为期三天的研讨会，在研讨会上将讨论新生物学的伦理和社会问题。此外，还将编制课程指南，以帮助参与者将这些材料纳入其学校的课程。旧金山州立大学和其他来源将提供相当于NSF奖金129%的金额作为费用分摊。

A teacher training program: The Science, Techniques and Ethics of Molecular Biology This program is designed to provide enhancement training for 288 inservice high school biology teachers from California in the principles and techniques of recent discoveries in molecular biology and biotechnology, as well as the ethical and societal implications of the use of the technology. The three-year program will provide training at three (first year), four (second year) and five (third) Enrichment Centers throughout California at campuses of both the California State University and the University of California. Each summer, each of the Enrichment Centers will offer a two week laboratory based workshop in the theory and methods of molecular biology including DNA isolation, gel electrophoresis, restriction endonucleases, and bacterial cell transformation. After completion of the laboratory workshops, all participants will come together for a three-day symposium in which ethical and social issues of the new biology will be addressed. In addition, curriculum guides will be developed to facilitate the participants in the integration of this material into the curriculum in their schools. An amount equivalent to 129% of the NSF award is being contributed by San Francisco State University and other sources as cost-sharing.
