摘要

This study tested the effectiveness of a middle-school, multi-media health-sciences educational program called HEADS UP in non-Asian–minority (Hispanic and African American), inner-city students. The program was designed to increase the number of non-Asian minority students entering the academic health-sciences pipeline. Students of Asian ethnicity were excluded because they are not underrepresented in science professions. The curriculum modules include video role-model stories featuring minority scientists and students, hands-on classroom activities, and teacher resources. The modules (evaluated from 2004-2007) were developed through collaboration among The University of Texas Health Sciences Center, the Spring Branch Independent School District, and the Health Museum, Houston. A quasi-experimental, two-group pre-test/post-test design was used to assess program effects on students' performance, interest, and confidence in their ability to perform well in science; fear of science; and confidence in their ability to pursue science-related careers. An intervention school was matched to a comparison school by test scores, school demographics, and student demographics. Then, pairs of sixth-grade students (428 students) were matched by fifth-grade scores in science and by gender, ethnicity, and poverty status (free or reduced lunch) and followed up for three years. At eighth grade, students from the intervention school scored significantly higher (F=12.38, p<0.001) on the Stanford 10 Achievement Test in science and reported higher interest in science (F=11.08, p<0.001) than their matched pairs from the comparison school. HEADS UP shows potential for improving inner-city minority middle school students' performance and interest in science and is an innovative example of translating health-sciences research to the community.
