DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): People in the 21st century face ancient killers like Malaria, new deadly threats such as HIV/AIDS, and dramatic increases in autoimmune and allergic diseases. Solving these challenges will require an informed, scientifically literate general public and sufficient biomedical researchers with appropriate training. Currently the US is not on track to meet either of these needs. Science education problems begin in elementary school. Early experiences develop students' science interest and knowledge, and contribute to later success in science-related careers. But each year, many students, particularly from low-income and other disadvantaged groups, lose interest or fail in elementary school science-and never catch up afterward. To help address these educational disparities and challenges, Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) will lead the development, evaluation and dissemination of new science and health teaching resources for elementary school audiences to improve students' science learning experiences and career awareness using examples from infectious diseases and allergy research. The proposed materials would introduce science and health topics of high priority to NIAID into elementary school classrooms, while also helping to address national needs for high-quality, low-cost teaching resources and professional development. The project teams Baylor College of Medicine (BCM), the Harris County (Texas) Department of Education, and children's artist, T Lewis. The project will be evaluated in schools with high enrollments of underrepresented minority and economically disadvantaged students. Project specific aims are to: 1) Recruit and support a national team of teacher leaders, who will work together and with scientists, clinicians and educators to guide the development of three science and health inquiry supplementary curriculum modules (one each for grades K-1, 2-3 and 4-5), designed to provide 3-6 weeks of inquiry-based instruction, with connections to reading/language arts; 2) Successively field test each curriculum module and supporting materials using a well-matched comparison group study design; 3) Revise the modules and supporting materials based on field test outcomes; and develop web-based tools-such as forums, streaming video lesson demonstrations and downloadable teaching materials-to create a dynamic, web-based curricular and professional development resource for teachers; 4) Disseminate the curriculum and related resources-lesson demonstrations, teacher professional development sessions, and student activities and materials-via the established, high traffic websites, BioEd Online (www.bioedonline.org) and K8 Science (www.k8science.org), and through other, more traditional pathways to reach national audiences with high quality, low-cost science teaching resources. All aspects of the project will be evaluated, both formatively and summatively, to gauge (1) the quality and effectiveness with which project components are delivered and implemented, and (2) the overall value of the experiences provided to teachers and students.

描述（由申请人提供）：21 世纪的人们面临着疟疾等古老的杀手、艾滋病毒/艾滋病等新的致命威胁，以及自身免疫性疾病和过敏性疾病的急剧增加。解决这些挑战需要知识渊博、具有科学素养的公众和足够多且经过适当培训的生物医学研究人员。目前美国还无法满足这些需求。科学教育问题从小学就开始出现。早期的经历培养了学生的科学兴趣和知识，并有助于日后在科学相关职业中取得成功。但每年，许多学生，特别是来自低收入群体和其他弱势群体的学生，对小学科学失去兴趣或失败，而且之后再也没有赶上。为了帮助解决这些教育差距和挑战，贝勒医学院 (BCM) 将领导针对小学受众的新科学与健康教学资源的开发、评估和传播，以利用传染病的例子来改善学生的科学学习体验和职业意识和过敏研究。拟议的材料将把 NIAID 高度重视的科学和健康主题引入小学课堂，同时也有助于满足国家对高质量、低成本教学资源和专业发展的需求。该项目团队包括贝勒医学院 (BCM)、哈里斯县（德克萨斯州）教育部和儿童艺术家 T Lewis。该项目将在少数族裔和经济弱势学生入学率较高的学校进行评估。项目的具体目标是： 1) 招募和支持一支国家级教师领导团队，他们将与科学家、临床医生和教育工作者合作，指导开发三个科学和健康探究补充课程模块（K-1 年级各一个） 、2-3 和 4-5），旨在提供 3-6 周的探究式教学，并与阅读/语言艺术相关； 2）采用匹配的对照组研究设计，相继对每个课程模块和辅助材料进行现场测试； 3）根据现场测试结果修改模块和支撑材料；开发基于网络的工具，例如论坛、流媒体视频课程演示和可下载的教材，为教师创建动态的、基于网络的课程和专业发展资源； 4) 通过已建立的高流量网站、BioEd Online (www.bioedonline.org) 和 K8 Science (www.k8science.org) 传播课程和相关资源（课程演示、教师专业发展课程以及学生活动和材料） ，并通过其他更传统的途径向全国受众提供高质量、低成本的科学教学资源。项目的所有方面都将受到形成性和总结性评估，以衡量（1）项目组成部分交付和实施的质量和有效性，以及（2）为教师和学生提供的体验的总体价值。
