项目摘要

Abstract The current project proposes an innovative professional development (PD) program in environmental health research experiences for science high-school teachers from schools with high poverty levels in North Carolina. In a collaborative effort, experts from the College of Education and scientists affiliated with the Center for Human Health and Environment (CHHE), and the Comparative Medicine Institute (CMI) at NC State University will provide teachers (N=40) with unique authentic lab experiences. The 8-week summer research PD program aims at enhancing teachers' environmental health literacy and research skills that will support novel science teaching strategies. The specific aims addressed by the program are the following: 1) to provide teachers with a practical understanding of the scientific method in mentored research projects examining links between environmental stressors and health; 2) to provide teachers with an understanding of core conceptual issues in toxicology; 3) to train teachers in ethical issues in scientific conduct, science communication, and public health; 4) to immerse teachers in authentic research lab experiences by using a cognitive apprenticeship model; and 5) to develop a comprehensive evaluation plan in order to assess the short- and long- term PD outcomes. In the proposed environmental health science (EHS) research PD program, teachers will be integrated into genuine research projects and attend lab meetings, gaining general knowledge of how research is conducted and specialized knowledge related to ongoing projects in their host lab. Additionally, teachers in the program will come together one day per week in a workshop environment, to share their diversity of research experiences and gain additional training in biological concepts and ethical issues related to environmental health sciences.

抽象的当前的项目提出了一个创新的专业发展（PD）计划为来自具有以下条件的学校的科学高中教师提供环境健康研究经验北卡罗来纳州的贫困率很高。在学院专家的共同努力下人类健康与环境中心 (CHHE) 的教育和科学家，北卡罗来纳州立大学比较医学研究所（CMI）将提供教师 (N=40) 具有独特、真实的实验室经验。为期 8 周的夏季研究 PD 项目旨在提高教师的环境健康素养和研究技能，以支持新颖的研究科学的教学策略。该计划的具体目标如下： 1）为教师提供对指导研究项目中检查链接的科学方法的实际理解环境压力源与健康之间； 2）让教师了解毒理学的核心概念问题； 3）对教师进行科学行为道德问题方面的培训，科学传播和公共卫生； 4）让教师沉浸在真实的研究实验室中使用认知学徒模式获得的经验； 5) 制定全面的评估计划，以评估短期和长期的 PD 结果。在拟议的环境健康科学（EHS）研究PD计划中，教师将融入真正的研究项目并参加实验室会议，获得一般知识研究如何进行以及与正在进行的项目相关的专业知识宿主实验室。此外，该项目的教师将每周有一天聚集在一起研讨会环境，分享他们多样化的研究经验并获得额外的与环境健康科学相关的生物学概念和伦理问题的培训。
