项目摘要

To achieve a healthy society, America needs both highly trained health professionals and a science-literate public. The development of both begins during K-12 education. Within the NIH, the SEPA program provides the principal means to influence pre-college science education. Our application builds on current infrastructure, which provides ca. 1700 high school students per year, many of them from underrepresented groups, with authentic scientific experiences based on experiment modules that utilize live organisms as biomedical models. Students investigate the impacts of environmental/life-style chemicals on fundamental biological processes. In the process, ca. 20 pre-service teachers per year learn to teach with an inquiry-based approach. Moving forward, the proposed SEPA program will i) engage in-service and pre-service teachers and students with an in-depth introduction to the scientific method and its components that is closely linked to the conduct of the experiment modules. A major focus will involve analytical applications of data science that emerge after aggregating large amounts of data submitted by students to a computational portal and data repository. Complementing this novel emphasis, ii) student experimentation will be placed within a context of science and society, called environmental health civics – a history of environmental chemicals in relation to governmental regulation and chemical toxicity research. Attention will be directed toward environmental justice, particularly issues which effect Milwaukee youth, including lead (Pb) poisoning, through the use of a powerful on-line environmental health mapping program from the EPA. Experiment modules and special student conferences will further develop this area. Both i) and ii) will be fully aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards. In addition, we will iii) provide new ways for early career teachers to implement our program as they transition from pre-service status to mature in-service teachers. Finally, iv) we will transfer our program to an on-line format and partner with other institutions to expand the reach of our pre-service teacher program. Content goals will be merged with our objective to offer large numbers of minority and economically disadvantaged students research experiences with our modules. Our Specific Aims are to 1. Introduce in-service and early career teachers to the principles of data and data science in relation to our environmental health experiment modules. 2. Collaborate with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, UW-Stevens Point and Carthage College science teacher education programs to certify 100 pre-service teachers in the principles and practice of scientific experimentation and communication. 3. Provide 8,500 high school students with a) experiences in doing data and data science- focused scientific research, and b) an understanding of the importance of chemical toxicology, including a focus on environmental justice. 4. Work with the Milwaukee Public School System and other regional schools to provide large numbers of low income and underrepresented minority students with research experiences. 5. Develop a robust on-line version of our program. 6. Conduct a thorough evaluation of the entire project.

为了实现健康社会，美国需要训练有素的卫生专业人员和具有科学素养的人 SEPA 计划规定，两者的开发均始于 NIH 的 K-12 教育阶段。影响大学前科学教育的主要手段我们的应用程序建立在当前的基础设施之上，每年为约 1700 名高中生（其中许多来自代表性不足的群体）提供教育基于利用活体作为生物医学模型的实验模块的真实科学经验。学生研究环境/生活方式化学物质对基本生物过程的影响。在此过程中，每年约有 20 名职前教师学习以探究为基础的教学方法。拟议的 SEPA 计划将 i) 让在职和职前教师和学生深入了解介绍与实验的进行密切相关的科学方法及其组成部分一个主要焦点将涉及聚合大量数据后出现的数据科学的分析应用。学生提交到计算门户和数据存储库的大量数据补充了这本小说。强调，ii）学生实验将被置于科学和社会的背景下，称为环境健康公民——与政府监管和化学毒性有关的环境化学品的历史研究的注意力将集中在环境正义，特别是影响密尔沃基的问题上。通过使用强大的在线环境健康地图来解决青少年问题，包括铅 (Pb) 中毒 EPA 的实验模块和特别学生会议将进一步发展这一领域。 i) 和 ii) 都将完全符合下一代科学标准。此外，我们将 iii) 提供。早期职业教师从职前状态过渡到成熟阶段时实施我们计划的新方法最后，iv) 我们将把我们的课程转为在线形式，并与其他教师合作。机构以扩大我们的职前教师计划的范围。内容目标将与我们的目标合并。目标是为大量少数族裔和经济弱势学生提供研究经验我们的模块的具体目标是 1. 向在职教师和早期职业教师介绍以下原则： 2. 与我们的环境健康实验模块相关的数据和数据科学。威斯康星大学密尔沃基分校、威斯康星大学史蒂文斯波因特分校和迦太基学院科学教师教育对 100 名职前教师进行科学实验原理和实践认证的计划 3. 为 8,500 名高中生提供 a) 数据和数据科学方面的经验 - 重点科学研究，以及 b) 了解化学毒理学的重要性，包括重点 4. 与密尔沃基公立学校系统和其他地区学校合作， 5. 为大量低收入和代表性不足的少数族裔学生提供研究经验。 6. 对整个项目进行彻底的评估。
