Project Summary The proposed project will provide rural middle school teachers with instructional strategies and resources for teaching science in the context of One Health (the integration of human, animal, and environmental health) and assess the effectiveness of this method. The app- and web- based curriculum will use a student-centered approach to teaching middle school science topics. Middle school science curricular materials produced over the past 15 years by the Partnership for Environmental Education and Rural Health (PEER) in the College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences at Texas A&M University will be enhanced to include motivational, student-centered content for use with mobile devices. The activities will target underserved rural communities, concentrating specifically on middle school students, who are at a critical period for developing academic competence and choosing a career. This project will focus on rural schools because they have large minority and educationally underserved populations. Their geographic isolation allows students few opportunities to interact with scientists and academic health professionals who might increase their motivation to engage in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education and related careers. Project specific aims include the following: 1. Development of a student-centered app containing engaging brief stories, case studies, and video presentations followed by interactive assessments (games, quizzes, etc.) and project/curriculum guides that science teachers can use to lead students in group activities, experiments, projects, and discussions. 2. Re- organization of the peer.tamu.edu website to accommodate the new app and online courses and to make specific resources easier for teachers to find. 3. Provision of teacher professional development via summer workshops where teachers are instructed in and contribute to the design and implementation of relevant student-centered lessons to be delivered by an app. This innovative approach and content not only make "learning on the go" possible, but they also provide a wide range of content that is not readily available for students and teachers through traditional classroom instruction. The proposed project will further prepare middle school teachers to teach STEM; increase the number of youth who have interactive STEM experiences in school; and increase the number of underrepresented minority students who are knowledgeable about STEM and STEM careers.

项目概要 拟议项目将为农村中学教师提供教学策略和 在“同一个健康”（人类、动物、 和环境健康）并评估该方法的有效性。应用程序和网络 基础课程将采用以学生为中心的方法来教授中学科学 主题。过去15年来制作的中学科学课程材料 兽医学院环境教育和农村健康合作伙伴关系（PEER） 德克萨斯农工大学的医学与生物医学科学将得到加强，包括 适用于移动设备的激励性、以学生为中心的内容。活动将针对 服务不足的农村社区，特别集中在中学生，他们 发展学术能力和选择职业的关键时期。该项目将 重点关注农村学校，因为那里有大量少数民族且教育服务不足 人口。他们的地理隔离使得学生很少有机会与人互动 科学家和学术卫生专业人员可能会增加他们参与的动力 科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 教育及相关职业。 项目具体目标包括以下内容： 1. 开发以学生为中心的应用程序 包含引人入胜的简短故事、案例研究和视频演示，然后是互动式的 科学教师可以进行的评估（游戏、测验等）和项目/课程指南 用于引导学生进行小组活动、实验、项目和讨论。 2. 重新 组织peer.tamu.edu网站以适应新的应用程序和在线课程 并使教师更容易找到特定资源。 3. 教师专业的提供 通过夏季研讨会进行发展，教师在研讨会上接受指导并为之做出贡献 设计和实施由应用程序提供的以学生为中心的相关课程。 这种创新的方法和内容不仅使“移动学习”成为可能，而且还 提供学生和教师不易获得的广泛内容 传统的课堂教学。拟议项目将进一步为中学做好准备 教授 STEM 的教师；增加拥有互动 STEM 体验的年轻人数量 在学校；并增加代表性不足的少数族裔学生的数量 了解 STEM 和 STEM 职业。
