项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this project is to expand, evaluate, and disseminate a health science curriculum, "HEADS-UP," for 5th through 8th grades developed through collaborations between a Health Science Center and their clinical research center, a school district, a health and medical science museum, a school reform project, and a Hispanic health center. HEADS UP (Health Education and Discovering Science while Unlocking Potential) consists of multimedia modules containing CD-ROM's, VHS tapes, lesson plans, and classroom activities, designed to meet state and national science standards and bring biomedical science and scientists into the classroom. We aim to develop and test 5th through 8th grade science curriculum modules, a teacher development component and a parent education component, and disseminate HEADS UP, along with the parent and teacher components, in elementary and middle schools in Houston and the lower Rio Grande Valley. The 5th grade module on scientific methods, processes and technology incorporates data collection and analysis. Middle school (6th through 8th grade) modules cover genetics, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, physical activity, nutrition and will be expanded to include the immune system, and advanced genetics including stem cell research, and transgenic animals. Professional development sessions for teachers include the clinical research process emphasizing science, technology and translational research. The clinical research process will also educate parents about diabetes as a disease. We hypothesize that (1) Students who participate in HEADS UP will have increased self-efficacy for science, increased academic aspirations, increased interest in science careers, and better grades in science than students not participating in HEADS-UP; (2) Teachers participating in HEADS-UP will have increased confidence in teaching topics related to health science and biomedical research than teachers not participating in HEADS-UP.; (3) Families participating in HEADS-UP will have increased academic aspirations and enhanced knowledge about biomedical sciences and disease than those not participating in HEADS-UP. At the end of this five-year project a set of 5th through 8th grade science curriculum modules developed by teachers will emphasize contemporary and applied biomedical science, be demonstrated to be effective in a rigorous trial, be disseminated in districts in the Rio Grande Valley, and be available for national distribution.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目的目标是扩展、评估和传播针对 5 至 8 年级学生的健康科学课程“HEADS-UP”，该课程是通过健康科学中心与其临床研究中心、学区、卫生和健康中心合作开发的。医学博物馆、学校改革项目和西班牙裔健康中心。 HEADS UP（健康教育和发现科学，同时释放潜力）由多媒体模块组成，其中包含 CD-ROM、VHS 磁带、课程计划和课堂活动，旨在满足州和国家科学标准并将生物医学科学和科学家带入课堂。我们的目标是开发和测试 5 至 8 年级的科学课程模块、教师发展部分和家长教育部分，并在休斯顿和里奥格兰德河谷下游的中小学传播 HEADS UP 以及家长和教师部分。关于科学方法、过程和技术的五年级模块包含数据收集和分析。中学（六年级至八年级）模块涵盖遗传学、心血管疾病、糖尿病、体育活动、营养，并将扩展到包括免疫系统和高级遗传学（包括干细胞研究和转基因动物）。教师专业发展课程包括强调科学、技术和转化研究的临床研究过程。临床研究过程还将教育家长了解糖尿病作为一种疾病。我们假设 (1) 与未参加 HEADS-UP 的学生相比，参加 HEADS UP 的学生会提高科学自我效能感、提高学术抱负、增加对科学职业的兴趣以及更好的科学成绩； (2) 参加 HEADS-UP 的教师将比未参加 HEADS-UP 的教师对健康科学和生物医学研究相关主题的教学更有信心； (3) 与未参加 HEADS-UP 的家庭相比，参加 HEADS-UP 的家庭将提高学术抱负并增强有关生物医学科学和疾病的知识。在这个为期五年的项目结束时，由教师开发的一套 5 至 8 年级科学课程模块将强调当代和应用生物医学科学，通过严格的试验证明其有效性，并在里奥格兰德河谷的各地区传播，并可供全国发行。
