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.

项目摘要/摘要 为了教导明天的未来科学家，今天支持他们的老师的投资需要 制成。在21世纪的前几十年中，科学思想和获取数据的访问的复杂性爆炸了。 这些包括分子生物学的进步，使研究人员能够更好地了解 与人类健康有关的核酸和蛋白质的结构 - 功能关系。这些当代 二级教师通常对分子生物学的理解通常是未知的，很难 次级学生要学习，因为它需要他们使用和整合多个级别的生物学 组织。计算能力和访问的进步为使分子提供了独特的机会 所有学生都可以在课堂上栩栩如生，可以访问生物学。老师需要持续的支持 专业发展将这些调查实践成功整合到他们的课堂上。 通过与老师进行主题建模来塑造真实实践的总体目标 探索科学研究（形状问题）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次参与老师的100名学生。具体的 目标1：形状事务团队将为 教师增加对分子生物学研究涉及的科学实践的了解。老师 将研究当前研究项目的一系列分子故事，然后直接与研究合作 指导者探索分子生物学中的特定现象和相关的研究策略。他们会的 最终开发了相关分子的三维模型，并提出了一个新的分子故事。具体的 目标2：将在宾夕法尼亚州中部中学中创建生物分子科学课程 关于形状问题计划的真实科学实践。与研究人员和科学教育 教师支持，教育工作者将在高中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，记录课程对其的影响 教学实践以及学生的学习和兴趣。课程将大致分散 宾夕法尼亚州。特定目标3：形状问题将在宾夕法尼亚州建立智能团队以参与 通过与基本生物学相关的真实研究项目，教师和学生在建模实践中进行建模实践 和化学概念。参与宾夕法尼亚州的高中生将展示他们的分子 基于社区的研讨会活动中的故事。木兰咨询将使用 仅处理组，混合方法。评估将使用通过审查收集的数据 计划文物和记录，访谈，在线调查和观察以检查开发的观察 实施和对形状的看法很重要，夏季研讨会，CLRP和智能团队。
