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世纪的人们面临着诸如疟疾的古老杀手，诸如艾滋病毒/艾滋病等新的致命威胁以及自身免疫和过敏性疾病的急剧增加。解决这些挑战将需要知情的，科学的公众公众和足够的生物医学研究人员进行适当的培训。目前，美国尚未满足这两个需求。科学教育问题从小学开始。早期的经验发展了学生的科学兴趣和知识，并为后来的与科学相关的职业取得成功做出了贡献。但是每年，许多学生，尤其是来自低收入和其他处境不利的群体的学生，失去了对小学科学的兴趣或失败，并且从未赶上。为了帮助解决这些教育差异和挑战，贝勒医学院（BCM）将通过传染病和过敏研究中的实例来领导小学受众的新科学和健康教学资源的发展，评估和传播，以改善学生的科学学习经验和职业意识。拟议的材料将向小学教室介绍高优先级的科学和健康主题，同时还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。项目团队贝勒医学院（BCM），哈里斯县（德克萨斯州）教育部和儿童艺术家T Lewis。该项目将在有代表性不足的少数群体和经济不利的学生中入学率高的学校进行评估。项目具体的目标是：1）招募和支持一个由教师领导者组成的国家团队，他们将共同努力，并与科学家，临床医生和教育工作者一起指导三个科学和健康探究补充课程模块的发展（每年为K-1，2-3和4-5年级），旨在提供3-6周的基于探究的教学教学，并与阅读/语言的读取/语言进行教学; 2）使用匹配良好的比较小组研究设计依次测试每个课程模块和支持材料； 3）根据现场测试结果修改模块和支持材料；并开发基于Web的工具，例如论坛，流式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）散布课程和相关资源的演示，教师专业发展会议以及学生活动和材料 - 既定的，高流量的网站，Bioed Online（www.bioedonline.org）和K8 Science（www.k8science.org），通过其他，通过其他传统的传统途径，提供更多的传统途径，以提供高质量的Science，Science，提供更多的传统途径。将对项目的所有方面进行表达和总结评估（1）项目组件交付和实施项目组件的质量和有效性，以及（2）提供给教师和学生的经验的总体价值。
