项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Communication between research scientists and the general public appears ever more difficult, in part due to the arcane language used by scientific specialists and in part due to a system of science education that lags far behind the current research advances. The current proposal aims to improve that communication formally by development of high school curriculum units and informally by museum exhibits and public forums. Research scientists, museum educators and high school teachers will cooperate in this endeavor, centered at the Yale Peabody Museum and drawing on the research resources of the Yale Medical School (clinical and public health). Three infectious, vector-borne disease- malaria, leishmaniasis, and dengue-will be used as models (1) to illustrate impact of climate on changes in epidemiological patterns and (2) to fulfill requirements of the new state and national science standards. Six specific aims will be achieved: 1. Innovative, standards-based science curricula will be developed that are based on active and current research in university laboratories. This will be accomplished with a consultation team of 8 public school teachers, 3 professional educators and a 9-member science advisor board. 2. Public school teaching capacity will be strengthened by use of museum collections in making the link between climate and insect-borne disease ecology. Summer teacher training institutes will expose teachers to the teaching unit and associated museum and lab materials. 3. Student participation in developing science process skills will make use of museum specimens and laboratory tools, hands-on experiments, and field trips to science facilities. 4. The new curricula will be disseminated first in selected sites in Connecticut and then at education centers in Texas, Oregon, and California. The classroom units will be marketed nationally by the Peabody Museum publications office, and available on the museum website. 5. Annual family events will be sponsored at the Peabody Museum and participating schools that highlight the infectious disease theme; a travelling kiosk/exhibit will be designed that explores the interplay between human travel, climate changes and infectious disease risks. 6. The model of science partnerships developed herein will be made available for use by other informal science institutions, research institutions and public schools; this will be provided via the Peabody Museum website, by contacts with local schools, and at regional and national conferences.

描述（由申请人提供）：研究科学家与公众之间的沟通似乎越来越困难，部分原因是科学专家使用的神秘语言，部分原因是科学教育体系远远落后于当前的研究进展。当前的提案旨在通过开发高中课程单元的发展和博物馆展览和公共论坛，正式改善该沟通。研究科学家，博物馆教育工作者和高中教师将在这项工作中合作，以耶鲁·皮博迪博物馆为中心，并利用耶鲁医学院的研究资源（临床和公共卫生）。三种感染性，媒介传播的疾病 - 疟疾，利什曼病和登革热将被用作模型（1），以说明气候对流行病学模式变化的影响以及（2）满足新州和国家科学标准的要求。将实现六个具体目标：1。将基于大学实验室的积极研究和当前的研究开发创新的基于标准的科学课程。这将通过由8位公立学校教师，3位专业教育者和9名成员的科学顾问委员会组成的咨询团队来完成。 2。公立学校的教学能力将通过使用博物馆收藏来增强，以建立气候与昆虫传播疾病生态学之间的联系。夏季教师培训机构将使教师接触教学部门以及相关的博物馆和实验室材料。 3。学生参与发展科学过程技能将利用博物馆标本和实验室工具，动手实验以及前往科学设施的实地考察。 4。新课程将首先在康涅狄格州的选定地点传播，然后在德克萨斯州，俄勒冈州和加利福尼亚州的教育中心进行。教室单元将由皮博迪博物馆出版社在全国范围内销售，并在博物馆网站上找到。 5。年度家庭活动将在皮博迪博物馆和参与的学校赞助，以突出传染病主题；将设计旅行亭/展览会，以探讨人类旅行，气候变化和传染病风险之间的相互作用。 6。此处开发的科学伙伴关系模型将由其他非正式科学机构，研究机构和公立学校使用；这将通过Peabody Museum网站，与当地学校以及地区和民族会议提供。
