NASA 'Why?' Files, a research and standards-based, Emmy-award winning series of 60-minute instructional programs for grades 3-5, introduces students to NASA; integrates mathematics, science, and technology by using Problem-Based Learning (PBL), scientific inquiry, and the scientific method; and motivates students to become critical thinkers and active problem solvers. All four 2000-2001 NASA 'Why?' Files programs include an instructional broadcast, a lesson guide, an interactive web site, plus numerous instructional resources. In March 2001, 1,000 randomly selected program registrants participated in a survey. Of these surveys, 185 (154 usable) met the established cut-off date. Respondents reported that (1) they used the four programs in the 2000-2001 NASA 'Why?' Files series; (2) series goals and objectives were met; (3) programs met national mathematics, science, and technology standards; (4) program content was developmentally appropriate for grade level; and (5) programs enhanced/enriched the teaching of mathematics, science, and technology.Pinelli, Thomas E. and Frank, Kari Lou and Ashcroft, Scott B. and Williams, Amy C.Langley Research CenterEDUCATION; SURVEYS; SCHOOLS; INSTRUCTORS; STUDENTS; TECHNOLOGIES; MATHEMATICS; SCIENCE

This report contains the results of the evaluation conducted for the 2001-2002 NASA 'Why?' Files program that was conducted in March 2002. The analysis is based on the results of 139 surveys collected from educators registered for the program. Respondents indicated that (1) the programs in the series are aligned with the national mathematics, science, and technology standards; (2) the programs are developmentally (grade level) appropriate; and (3) the programs enhance and enrich the teaching and learning of mathematics, science, and technology.Pinelli, Thomas E. and Frank, Kari Lou and Lambert, Matthew A.Langley Research CenterEDUCATION; SURVEYS; INSTRUCTORS; SCHOOLS; SCIENCE; MATHEMATICS; TECHNOLOGIES

The NASA SCI Files is an Emmy award-winning series of instructional programs for grades 3-5. Produced by the NASA Center for Distance Learning, programs in the series are research-, inquiry-, standards-, teacher- and technology-based. Each NASA SCI Files program (1) integrates mathematics, science, and technology; (2) uses Problem-Based Learning (PBL) to enhance and enrich the teaching and learning of science; (3) emphasizes science as inquiry and the scientific method; (4) motivates students to become critical thinkers and active problem solvers; and (5) uses NASA research, facilities, and personnel to raise student awareness of careers and to exhibit the "real-world" application of mathematics, science, and technology. In April 2004, 1,500 randomly selected registered users of the NASA SCI Files were invited to complete a survey containing a series of questions. A total of 263 surveys were received. This report contains the quantitative and qualitative results of that survey.Caton, Randall H. and Ricles, Shannon S. and Pinelli, Thomas E. and Legg, Amy C. and Lambert, Matthew A.Langley Research CenterNASA PROGRAMS; EDUCATION; TELECOMMUNICATION; SCIENCE; ENGINEERING; MATHEMATICS; STUDENTS; VIDEO CONFERENCING; RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT; EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION; EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES
