Abstract：
At the onset of the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, it was clear that we needed to support public education on the science of vaccines. This project was born of that need and led to the development of comprehensive educational materials that addressed the process of science, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 biology, vaccine development, and science communication and outreach. Called the \"Online Vaccine Science Resources for COVID-19 Education,\" the materials generated were designed to be implemented by educators and community groups in various contexts. They took the form of four modules and general audience informational videos available on a YouTube channel. Each module was assembled as a toolkit with instructional videos, assessments, discussion questions, assignments, synthesis activities, and guides for constructing infographics and dual poster (science and general public audience) presentations. The materials were piloted and tested in various educational settings, including 2-year and 4-year colleges. Data gathered from surveys of faculty and student participants suggested that exposure to the materials promoted student trust in vaccination and the scientific process of vaccine development, and increased the likelihood of their getting a freely available vaccine. Assessment data indicated that the materials were successful in helping students achieve the learning objectives for the modules. Our results underscored the continued need for science education strategies that address the critical problem of vaccine hesitancy as we continue to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic.
摘要：
在2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行开始时，很明显，我们需要支持公众对疫苗科学的教育。这个项目是出于这种需要而诞生的，并导致了针对科学过程的全面教育材料的开发，严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2生物学，疫苗开发,以及科学传播和外展。称为“COVID-19教育在线疫苗科学资源”，“生成的材料旨在由教育工作者和社区团体在各种情况下实施。他们采取了四个模块的形式，并在YouTube频道上提供了一般观众信息视频。每个模块都组装成一个带有教学视频的工具包，评估,讨论问题,assignments,合成活动，以及构建信息图表和双重海报（科学和一般公众观众）演示文稿的指南。这些材料在各种教育环境中进行了试点和测试，包括两年制和四年制大学。从教师和学生参与者的调查中收集的数据表明，接触这些材料可以促进学生对疫苗接种和疫苗开发科学过程的信任。并增加了他们获得免费疫苗的可能性。评估数据表明，这些材料成功地帮助学生实现了模块的学习目标。我们的研究结果强调，随着我们继续摆脱COVID-19大流行，继续需要科学教育战略来解决疫苗犹豫的关键问题。
