DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This SEPA application is a Phase I and II application to create, evaluate, and disseminate new teaching materials centered on the inter-related areas of mobility and obesity for the Positively Aging program. The National Institute on Aging (NIA) and the Surgeon General's Office have underscored the importance of physical activity and health maintenance across the life span. This application will utilize information from patient-oriented clinical research related to mobility and obesity as examples to create lessons and activities that effectively teach scientific and mathematical principles dealing with forces and motion at the middle school level. The Positively Aging program is an active ten-year innovative interdisciplinary partnership between the working scientists of the Aging Research and Education Center (AREC) of the UTHSCSA and middle school educators in San Antonio, TX. The Positively Aging program has three long-term goals: 1. to provide innovative, effective teaching materials that center on math and science curricular elements and are based on examples from the Gerontologic Sciences; 2. to help students learn to make critical, life determining decisions for extending and enhancing their own lives; and 3. to help students develop a sensitivity to the needs and concerns of the aging population. For the present application, we designed three specific aims to achieve these long-range goals: 1. To create new instructional materials focused on mobility and obesity that teach students: (A) Scientific and mathematical concepts of forces and motion; B) The associations between mobility, obesity, disease, and disability across the life span; (C) Activities that promote healthy nutritional and activity habits across the life span. 2. To develop a cohesive set of quantitative evaluation strategies to determine whether the new Positively Aging instructional program improve: (A) Knowledge and skills specific to State of Texas and National Standards for math and science curricular objectives; B) Knowledge specific to the associations between mobility, obesity, disease, and disability; (C) Knowledge and skills regarding healthy nutrition and activity habits. 3. To disseminate the new materials through the internet and teacher workshops.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该 SEPA 应用程序是第一阶段和第二阶段的应用程序，旨在为积极老龄化计划创建、评估和传播以流动性和肥胖相互关联领域为中心的新教材。美国国家老龄化研究所 (NIA) 和卫生局局长办公室强调了一生中身体活动和健康维护的重要性。该应用程序将利用与活动性和肥胖相关的以患者为导向的临床研究信息作为示例，创建课程和活动，有效地在中学层面教授处理力和运动的科学和数学原理。积极老龄化计划是 UTHSCSA 老龄化研究和教育中心 (AREC) 的工作科学家与德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥市的中学教育工作者之间一项为期十年的创新跨学科合作伙伴关系。 积极老龄化计划有三个长期目标： 1. 提供以数学和科学课程元素为中心并以老年学科学实例为基础的创新、有效的教材； 2. 帮助学生学会做出关键的、决定人生的决定，以延长和改善自己的生活； 3. 帮助学生培养对人口老龄化的需求和担忧的敏感性。 对于本应用程序，我们设计了三个具体目标来实现这些长期目标： 1. 创建专注于移动性和肥胖的新教学材料，教授学生： (A) 力和运动的科学和数学概念； B) 整个生命周期的行动能力、肥胖、疾病和残疾之间的关联； (C) 促进终生健康营养和活动习惯的活动。 2. 制定一套连贯的定量评估策略，以确定新的积极老龄化教学计划是否改进： (A) 针对德克萨斯州和国家数学和科学课程目标标准的知识和技能； B) 针对行动能力、肥胖、疾病和残疾之间关联的知识； (C) 有关健康营养和活动习惯的知识和技能。 3. 通过互联网和教师讲习班传播新材料。
