项目摘要

This is a collaborative research and education project which has the following goals: 1) producing and publishing a textbook designed to provide practical support for secondary school teachers who wish to incorporate topics in ethics and values in their curricula; 2) exploring state and national science curricula to identify opportunities for introducing ethics and values the primary and middle school grades; 3) developing ethics and values in science lessons in the junior and senior high ; 4) begin exploring and testing the feasibility of integrating ethics and values in science lessons at the elementary school level; and 5) developing models for summer institutes and/or in-service instructional programs designed to provide the education, support and encouragement needed to promote the teaching of ethics and values at all levels. The textbook for secondary school teachers will include introductory education sections on effective means of introducing junior and senior high school students to the study of moral and value-laden aspects of the practice and uses of science in society. This material will be based on the experience gained by the principal investigators during the summer institute program, their prior experience in teaching ethics and the rapidly growing literature on the teaching of ethics using case studies, role-playing and other pedagogical techniques. The principal investigators, a philosopher with considerable successful experience in teaching ethics to grade school children and an environmental scientist who has taught ethics and values in science to both college students and high school teachers, will take advantage of their mutual sabbatical leaves to educate each other and work together on this project.

这是一个合作研究和教育项目，其目标如下：1）制作和出版一本教科书，旨在为希望将道德和价值观主题纳入课程的中学教师提供实践支持； 2) 探索国家和国家科学课程，寻找在中小学年级引入道德和价值观的机会； 3）在初中和高中的科学课程中培养道德和价值观； 4）开始探索和测试将道德和价值观融入小学科学课程的可行性； 5) 开发暑期学院和/或在职教学计划的模型，旨在提供促进各级道德和价值观教学所需的教育、支持和鼓励。中学教师教科书将包括介绍教育部分，介绍向初中和高中学生介绍科学在社会实践和应用的道德和价值方面的研究的有效方法。本材料将基于主要研究者在暑期学院项目中获得的经验、他们之前在伦理学教学方面的经验以及使用案例研究、角色扮演和其他教学技术进行伦理学教学的快速增长的文献。主要研究人员是一位在向小学生教授伦理学方面拥有相当成功经验的哲学家，以及一位向大学生和高中教师教授科学伦理和价值观的环境科学家，他们将利用彼此的休假时间相互教育并共同致力于这个项目。
