Project Summary Education for science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields is critical to prepare students for careers within the biomedical sciences. Research indicates that traditional science teaching focused on rote memorization decontextualizes learning and diminishes students’ willingness to engage in science education. Well-designed educational media can support strong science-focused teacher pedagogy and foster student interest in science topics and STEM careers. Educational media assets such as digital videos and graphic novels assets provide grounding contexts that support varied learning assessments, STEM interest, and intention to pursue related careers. Such educational media resources support long term students team-based collaboration, growth in assessed learning outcomes, and provide exposure to possible STEM career choices. The proposed educational media can be quickly developed and widely distributed through common, existing digital platforms, making it a promising approach for broad dissemination. Comprehensive evaluation is needed to determine whether the proposed graphic novel or documentary video media are more effective than traditional lecture and readings-based science instruction. The overall hypothesis of this SEPA is that well-designed educational media treatments can be more effective than traditional STEM subject instruction to grow interest in related fields, increased knowledge retention, and improved student STEM career intention. Three aims will be used to test the hypothesis: Aim 1: Create science-based graphic novel and documentary videos with supporting lesson plans, as well as isometric traditionally delivered, face-to-face lessons that will be used to comprehensively and longitudinally test the project hypotheses with 7th and 9th grade students. Aim 2: Conduct evaluations of the graphic novel and documentary video educational media treatments with diverse populations of students to determine their effectiveness in delivering STEM educational materials, explore whether the digital curricula and media improve student interest in STEM topics, and whether exposure to the digital materials improves student intentions to pursue STEM careers. Aim 3: Provide teacher professional development to train teachers to effectively deliver the digitally delivered educational media.

项目摘要 科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）领域的教育对于准备 生物医学科学中职业的学生。研究表明传统科学 教学重点是腐烂的纪念活动，使学习并减少学生的教学 愿意从事科学教育。精心设计的教育媒体可以支持 以科学为中心的强大教学教学法和学生对科学主题的兴趣和 STEM职业。教育媒体资产，例如数字视频和图形小说资产 提供基础环境，以支持各种学习评估，STEM兴趣和 打算购买相关职业。这种教育媒体资源支持长期 基于学生团队的合作，评估学习成果的增长，并提供 暴露于可能的STEM职业选择。拟议的教育媒体可以很快 通过共同现有的数字平台开发和广泛分布，使其成为 广泛传播的有前途的方法。需要全面评估以确定 拟议的图形小说还是纪录片视频媒体比 传统的讲座和基于阅读的科学说明。该SEPA的总体假设 是设计精良的教育媒体治疗可能比传统的STEM更有效 对相关领域的兴趣，知识保留的增加以及 改善了学生STEM职业意图。将使用三个目标来检验假设：目标1： 通过支持课程计划创建基于科学的图形小说和纪录片视频， 以及等距传统上交付的，面对面的课程 全面，纵向测试了7年级和9年级学生的项目假设。 目标2：进行图形小说和纪录片视频教育媒体的评估 与学生种群的治疗，以确定他们在交付的有效性 STEM教育材料，探索数字课程和媒体是否改善学生 对STEM主题的兴趣，以及接触数字材料是否可以改善学生 购买STEM职业的意图。目标3：提供教师专业发展来训练 老师有效地提供了数字化的教育媒体。
