GSE/DIS: THE SOUNDS OF PROGRESS: The Changing Role of Girls and Women in Science and Engineering

WAMC将制作并在全国范围内分发两种传播产品：第1部分）一系列八个关于美国各地基于研究的战略和方法的长篇杂志式广播故事，致力于为教育实践提供信息，特别是在努力增加女孩和妇女参与STEM教育和劳动力的范围内;第二部分：26个两分钟的广播故事，讲述了历史上那些克服了令人难以置信的障碍，为STEM领域和教育做出重大贡献的迷人女性。 这两个广播系列节目将通过WAMC的全国性联合广播节目-《我们最好的知识》，一个关于教育、教育政策、创新和研究的节目;以及《51%》，一个关于妇女和影响妇女的问题和政策的节目在全美国播出。它们也将在WAMC的Women in STEM网站（www.womeninscience.org）上收听，并以光盘形式在全国发行。WAMC预计该项目将产生以下更广泛的影响：-接触并教育全国广播听众，了解国家为缩小STEM教育和职业中的性别差距所做的努力;-接触并教育界和青年妇女、父母和组织领导人等目标受众中的重要国家受众;在教育实践中宣传基于性别的研究战略和方法的目标、方法、结果和影响;- 接触和教育目标受众女孩和年轻妇女（优先关注少数民族和残疾人），他们将有机会了解STEM教育和职业是可能的，而且触手可及。该项目的智力价值在于WAMC的广播节目将全国的焦点放在研究上，特别强调教学风格，课程设计、教学方法等，这有助于建立知识库，解决学习中与性别有关的差异，并促进对学生兴趣、成绩和职业选择产生积极影响的教育经验。此外，智力价值在于研究，制作和介绍优质的广播节目，描绘了历史上STEM领域和职业生涯中成功女性的生活和工作。

WAMC will produce and nationally distribute two dissemination products: Part 1) A series of eight, long-form, magazine-style radio stories about research-based strategies and methods throughout the U.S. working to inform educational practice, specifically within the effort to increase the participation of girls and women in STEM education and workforce; and, Part 2) a series of 26 two-minute radio stories about fascinating women throughout history that have overcome incredible obstacles to make significant contributions to STEM fields and education. These two radio series will be broadcast throughout the US on WAMC's nationally-syndicated radio programs--The Best of Our Knowledge, a show about education, educational policy, innovation, and research; and 51%, a show about women and issues and policies affecting them. They will also be available for listening on WAMC's Women in STEM website (www.womeninscience.org), and distributed nationally on compact disc. WAMC anticipates the following broader impacts associated with this project:- Reaching and educating a nationwide audience of radio listeners about the national effort to close the gender gap in STEM education and careers;- Reaching and educating significant national audiences within the education community and within targeted audiences of young women, parents and organizational leaders; informing educational practices with regard to the objectives, methods, findings and impacts of gender-based research strategies and methods;- Reaching and educating a targeted audience of girls and young women (with a priority emphasis on minority and disabled populations) who will have the opportunity to learn that STEM education and careers are possible and within reach.The intellectual merit of this project lies in WAMC's radio programming placing a national spotlight on research which specifically highlights teaching styles, curriculum designs, pedagogical approaches, etc., that have contributed to the knowledge base addressing gender related differences in learning, and have promoted educational experiences that positively affect student interest, performance, and choice of careers. In addition, intellectual merit lies in the research, production and presentation of quality radio programming that depicts the lives and work of successful women in STEM fields and careers throughout history.
