High School Biology Teachers manuscript raw data.sav

This quantitative online survey samples high school biology teachers in Maryland (n=74) to evaluate their personal experience with genetic counselors, as well as the impact that experience has on genetics instruction and the inclusion of genetic counseling in lesson plans. Results suggest that personal experience with a genetic counselor may impact the frequency that the field is discussed outside of a genetic counseling setting. Specifically, it had a significant effect on if a teacher discusses genetic counseling as a potential career with students during the genetics unit (p=0.047), if a teacher would suggest genetic counseling to a student as a potential career (p=0.03), if a teacher has mentioned genetic counseling as a potential career to a student before (p=0.019) and if a teacher would feel comfortable explaining the career of genetic counseling to a student (p=0.001).

本定量在线调查以马里兰州74名高中生物教师为抽样对象（样本量n=74），旨在评估教师与遗传咨询师（genetic counselor）的个人互动经历，以及该经历对遗传学教学及课程计划中纳入遗传咨询相关内容的影响。研究结果显示，拥有遗传咨询师互动经历可能会影响教师在遗传咨询场景之外讨论该职业领域的频率。具体而言，该经历对以下情况具有显著影响：教师在遗传学单元教学中是否会向学生介绍遗传咨询作为潜在职业（p=0.047）、是否会向学生推荐遗传咨询作为潜在职业（p=0.03）、此前是否曾向学生提及遗传咨询作为潜在职业（p=0.019），以及是否能够从容地向学生讲解遗传咨询这一职业（p=0.001）。
