PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT In order to teach the future scientists of tomorrow, investment into supporting their teachers today needs to be made. The complexity of scientific ideas and access to data has exploded in the first decades of the 21st century. These include advancements in molecular biology that have enabled researchers to better understand the structure-function relationship of nucleic acids and proteins as it relates to human health. These contemporary understandings in molecular biology are often unknown to secondary-level teachers and can be difficult for secondary-level students to learn as it requires them to use and integrate multiple levels of biological organization. Advances in computational power and access provide a unique opportunity to make molecular biology accessible to all students by bringing it to life in the classroom. Teachers need supportive, ongoing professional development to successfully integrate these investigative practices into their classrooms. The overall goal of the SHaping of Authentic Practices by Engaging in Modeling of A Topic with Teachers to Explore Research in Science (SHAPE MATTERS) project is to engage high school science teachers in a rigorous professional development experience that will impact 100s of students per participating teacher. Specific Aim 1: The SHAPE MATTERS team will develop and implement a professional development experience for teachers to increase their knowledge of the scientific practices involved in molecular biology research. Teachers will examine a series of molecular stories of current research projects and then work directly with a research mentor to explore a specific phenomenon and associated investigative strategies in molecular biology. They will ultimately develop a 3-dimensional model of the relevant molecule and present a new molecular story. Specific Aim 2: Biomolecular science curriculum will be created within Central Pennsylvania secondary schools centered on authentic scientific practices through the SHAPE MATTERS program. With researcher and science education faculty support, educators will develop and implement classroom research projects (CLRPs) with high school students. From this, teachers will generate an Impact Report documenting the impact of the curriculum on their instructional practice as well as student learning and interest. The curriculum will be disseminated broadly across Pennsylvania. Specific Aim 3: SHAPE MATTERS will establish SMART teams in Pennsylvania to engage teachers and students in modeling practices through authentic research projects connected to the basic biology and chemistry concepts. Participating high school students across Pennsylvania will showcase their molecular stories in the community-based symposium event. Magnolia Consulting will lead the program evaluation using a treatment-group only, mixed-methods approach. The evaluation will use data collected through the review of program artifacts and records, interviews, online surveys, and observations to examine the development, implementation, and perceptions of the SHAPE MATTERS summer workshop, CLRPS, and SMART teams.

项目概要/摘要 为了培养明天的科学家，今天需要投资支持他们的老师 制成。科学思想和数据获取的复杂性在 21 世纪的前几十年呈爆炸式增长。 其中包括分子生物学的进步，使研究人员能够更好地了解 核酸和蛋白质的结构与功能关系，因为它与人类健康有关。这些当代的 中学教师往往不了解分子生物学的知识，并且对他们来说可能很困难 中学学生学习，因为它要求他们使用和整合多个层次的生物 组织。计算能力和访问的进步为制造分子提供了独特的机会 通过将生物学带入课堂，让所有学生都能接触到生物学。教师需要持续的支持 专业发展，以成功地将这些调查实践融入他们的课堂。 与教师进行主题建模塑造真实实践的总体目标 探索科学研究（形状很重要）项目是让高中科学教师参与 严格的专业发展经验将影响每位参与教师的数百名学生。具体的 目标 1：SHAPE MATTERS 团队将为以下人员开发并实施专业的开发经验： 教师增加分子生物学研究科学实践的知识。教师队伍 将检查当前研究项目的一系列分子故事，然后直接与研究合作 导师探索分子生物学中的特定现象和相关的研究策略。他们会 最终开发出相关分子的 3 维模型并呈现新的分子故事。具体的 目标 2：生物分子科学课程将在宾夕法尼亚州中部中学以中心为中心创建 通过 SHAPE MATTERS 计划进行真实的科学实践。与研究人员和科学教育 教师支持，教育工作者将与高中一起开发和实施课堂研究项目（CLRP） 学生。由此，教师将生成一份影响报告，记录课程对他们的影响 教学实践以及学生的学习和兴趣。该课程将广泛传播 宾夕法尼亚州。具体目标 3：SHAPE MATTERS 将在宾夕法尼亚州建立 SMART 团队来参与 教师和学生通过与基础生物学相关的真实研究项目进行建模实践 和化学概念。宾夕法尼亚州各地参与的高中生将展示他们的分子 社区研讨会活动中的故事。 Magnolia Consulting 将使用 仅治疗组，混合方法。评估将使用通过审查收集的数据 程序工件和记录、访谈、在线调查和观察以检查开发情况， SHAPE MATTERS 夏季研讨会、CLRPS 和 SMART 团队的实施和看法。
