DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of the proposed project is to develop, implement, and evaluate the use of an Internet-based eLearning multimedia program that will allow foster care social workers, educators, and other youth workers to plan one-day real world simulations that would allow adolescent foster youths, ages 13-21, to learn and practice independent living skills. Research on foster care reveals that the foster care system does not prepare foster teens adequately to transition from being dependent youths to independent self-sufficient adults. As a result, many former foster youths struggle to achieve self-sufficiency and often end up living marginally after leaving foster care. The proposed program, Adolescent Real World Simulation (ARWS) eLearning program, focuses on those who work with adolescent foster youths. It is also intended to assist any professional that works with adolescents to develop the skills necessary to plan and implement an independent living simulation in a real-world environment. In Phase I, the ARWS Introduction to an Adolescent Real World Simulation module Internet-based program was developed to brief adult users on how three distinct components, preparation, management, and follow-up, are used to develop a comprehensive daylong real world youth simulation (Griffin and Carter 2004). The Phase I introductory segment also outlines programming benefits for youths, how to involve community businesses and coordinate aspects of a real world simulation. A Real World Interactive Timeline and the learning modules, Preparation, Management, and Follow-up will be fully developed in Phase II. The educational design of the eLearning process includes use of video, graphics, intermediate learning milestones, customizable documents, and interactive activities to illustrate the three core planning components while teaching users how to use/access the Interactive Timeline. All the parts of this program comprise the Real World Toolkit which becomes an ongoing resource for current and future planning of Real World Simulation events. A project evaluation will be incorporated to measure increases in user's knowledge to plan, coordinate, and complete a real world simulation, and their overall satisfaction with the eLearning program including subsequent motivation to plan an event.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议项目的目的是开发、实施和评估基于互联网的电子学习多媒体程序的使用，该程序将允许寄养社会工作者、教育工作者和其他青年工作者制定一日计划现实世界的模拟可以让 13 至 21 岁的青少年寄养青少年学习和练习独立生活技能。对寄养的研究表明，寄养系统并没有为寄养青少年做好从依赖的青少年过渡到独立自给自足的成年人的充分准备。因此，许多曾经被寄养的年轻人努力实现自给自足，并在离开寄养后往往生活微不足道。拟议的青少年现实世界模拟 (ARWS) 电子学习项目重点关注那些与青少年寄养青年一起工作的人。它还旨在帮助任何与青少年合作的专业人士发展在现实环境中规划和实施独立生活模拟所需的技能。在第一阶段，开发了 ARWS 青少年真实世界模拟模块简介基于互联网的程序，向成年用户介绍如何使用三个不同的组成部分（准备、管理和后续）来开发全面的全天真实世界青少年模拟（格里芬和卡特 2004）。第一阶段的介绍部分还概述了编程对青少年的好处、如何让社区企业参与进来以及如何协调现实世界模拟的各个方面。真实世界互动时间表和学习模块、准备、管理和后续将在第二阶段全面开发。电子学习过程的教育设计包括使用视频、图形、中级学习里程碑、可定制文档和交互式活动来说明三个核心规划组件，同时教用户如何使用/访问交互式时间轴。该程序的所有部分均包含现实世界工具包，该工具包成为当前和未来现实世界模拟活动规划的持续资源。将纳入项目评估，以衡量用户计划、协调和完成现实世界模拟的知识的增长，以及他们对电子学习计划的整体满意度，包括随后计划活动的动机。
