High‐quality after‐school programs devoted to science have the potential enhance students' knowledge and attitudes, which may impact their decisions about pursuing science‐related careers. Because of unique nature these informal learning environments, an understanding relationships among aspects content acquisition attitudes toward aid in development effective interventions. We investigated a semester‐long intervention utilizing inquiry‐based infectious diseases curriculum (designed for use...
Researchers investigated the optimum length of teacher inservice activities where increasing efficacy was goal. Participants were elementary science teachers from seven enhancement projects conducted 1992-99. The breakdown each program was: 1992--6 weeks; 1994--6 1995--4 1996--4 1997--4 1998--3 and 1999--2 weeks. In projects, completed Science Teaching Efficacy Belief Instrument (STEBI) on first last days workshops. STEBI examined personal teaching (PSTE) outcome expectancy. Data analysis...
hen I was a high school science teacher, my interactions with university faculty members were limited.Occasionally, depending on the district in which teaching, region or state would send us letters inviting to summer workshops and classes.My teaching colleagues generally valued these opportunities because we believed classes kept up date our fields knowledgeable about contemporary ideas big questions biology.We viewed occasions largely as for ongoing professional development.Our...
The challenges to developing a physician and scientific workforce that both reflects provides quality care for the complex richly diverse population of United States are considerable.One medical school (Baylor College Medicine) sought adapt Holistic Review in Admissions process developed by Association American Medical Colleges apply it faculty. In fall 2016, academic leaders received on-site training completed several workshop exercises. goal was build consensus around holistic review...
Unhealthy diets, lack of fitness, and obesity are serious problems in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control, Surgeon General, Department Health Human Services calling action to address these problems. Scientists educators at Baylor College Medicine National Space Biomedical Research Institute teamed produce an instructional unit, “Food Fitness,” evaluated it with students grades 3-7 Houston, Texas. A field-test group (447 students) completed all unit activities under guidance...
Health professions faculty engaged in curriculum planning or redesign can struggle with developing courses programs that align desired learner outcomes, such as competencies to be applied a clinical setting, assessment and instruction.
The achievement gap in science begins elementary school, where many students lose interest science-related studies, particularly from traditionally underrepresented groups. “My Health My World” Project (hereafter, “the Project”), developed at Baylor College of Medicine with the assistance federal funds, is a national effort to address this problem. Project's goals are make appealing and relevant for school (i.e., kindergarten through grade five), including those minorities (URMs), easy teach...
A pair of Web sites enhances teachers' content knowledge and teaching repertoire through asynchronous approaches.

Objective: To examine the effectiveness of an interdisciplinary, discovery-oriented teaching unit designed to provide science and health information about HIV from perspective viral biology, population statistics epidemiology. Design: Single group pre- post-curriculum pilot study. Setting: Fifteen middle high school classrooms recruited districts in around a large, diverse, urban area mid-southern USA. Method: Science educators, clinicians, virologists biologists collaborated develop set...
Abstract Purpose The evidence base for active learning in medical education is based largely on trials with suspect internal validity. We empirically compared the and feeling of participants when large-group interactive sessions passive lectures using a rigorous trial capable providing an unambiguous assessment effect. Further, we evaluated if there was differential effect prior achievement. Materials Method conducted two-day randomized cross-over 146 s-year students. Passive involved...
