Project Summary / Abstract. Scientific misconceptions are becoming increasingly pervasive and damaging to the national interest. The ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has highlighted how misconceptions related to infectious disease can pose serious medical, economic, and social challenges by increasing non-compliance with public health recommendations and undermining trust in scientific institutions. Unfortunately, once scientific misconceptions are adopted by an individual, they are notoriously difficult to remediate by merely presenting the “correct” information. We need educational programs and tools that integrate evidence-based information with broader societal factors, representation of individual risk, and multiple representations of information to improve our ability to correct misconceptions. Our goal is to create an innovative, sustainable, and reproducible educational program that: (1) Creates and deploys an innovative game-based simulation to educate users about infectious diseases, (2) Inspires young people from diverse backgrounds to consider careers in biomedical research, (3) Provides teachers with engaging and easily adopted digital tools that build students’ systems thinking and data science literacy skills, and (4) Conducts innovative STEM education research about the remediation of misconceptions using systems thinking and Advanced Learning Technologies.

项目摘要/摘要。 科学误解变得越来越普遍，对国家造成损害。 正在进行的 SARS-CoV-2 大流行凸显了误解与相关性的关系。 传染病可能会带来严重的医疗、经济和社会挑战，因为它会增加 不遵守公共卫生建议并破坏对科学的信任 不幸的是，科学误解一旦被个人接受，它们就会被改变。 众所周知，仅通过提供我们需要的“正确”信息就很难补救。 将基于证据的信息与更广泛的社会整合起来的教育计划和工具 因素、个人风险的表示以及用于改进的信息的多重表示 我们纠正误解的能力 我们的目标是创造一个创新的、可持续的和 可重复的教育计划：(1) 创建并部署基于游戏的创新型教育计划 通过模拟来教育用户有关传染病的知识，(2) 激励来自不同领域的年轻人 考虑生物医学研究职业的背景，（3）为教师提供参与 以及易于采用的数字工具，培养学生的系统思维和数据科学素养 (4) 开展有关补救的创新 STEM 教育研究 使用系统思维和高级学习技术的误解。
