Anderson; Chelsie Romulo – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2024
Interdisciplinary environmental and sustainability (IES) programs are different from other fields because they focus on a complex integration of humanities, social, and natural sciences concepts centered on the interactions of coupled human and natural systems. The interdisciplinary nature of IES programs does not lend itself to traditional…

Daniel, Brad; Shores, Jim; Faircloth, W. Brad – Journal of Outdoor Recreation, Education, and Leadership, 2021
The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the relationship between natural landscapes and inspiration through the lens of topophilia--the affinity people have for certain places or landscape features. Participants were students on a traveling college field course called American Ecosystems. The 2015 course (n=15, 26 days) visited 19…

The Big Bend region of Trans-Pecos Texas preserves a rich record of Rio Grande rifting and Laramide-age contraction that provide intrigue to national and state park visitors and field trips for undergraduate geology students. Despite its well-exposed geologic record, the Big Bend region remains an underutilized natural laboratory for studying…

Kácovský, Petr; Jedlicková, Tereza; Kuba, Radim; Snetinová, Marie; Surynková, Petra; Vrhel, Matej; Urválková, Eva Stratilová – Journal of Curriculum Studies, 2022
Comparative studies on science curricula provide insights into educational standards worldwide. Accordingly, in this study, we analysed the intended curricula of mathematics and science subjects of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Poland and Slovenia by comparing their lower secondary (ISCED 2) National Curriculum Documents on mathematics, physics,…

Influence of Geographic Affiliation on Student Performance in Online Geology and Meteorology Courses
Download full textSumrall, Jeanne L.; Clary, Renee M.; Larson, Erik B. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2017
The online learning environment can add substantial advantages to learning such as continuous access to material and the ability to foster learning through additional visual supplemental materials, but it can also add further challenges that may not be as evident when teaching traditional, face-to-face courses. An individual's place affiliation…

Sit, Stefany M.; Brudzinski, Michael R. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2017
The recent emphasis in higher education on both student engagement and online learning encouraged the authors to develop an active e-learning environment for an introductory geohazards course, which enrolls 70+ undergraduate students per semester. Instructors focused on replicating the achievements and addressing the challenges within an already…

The growing recognition of virtual field trips (VFTs) to support classrooms has led to increasing use of these tools in science classrooms. In Aotearoa New Zealand, the Ministry of Education has underscored the need for educational experiences that are inclusive of Indigenous Maori worldviews. Here, we present the potential of the LEARNZ natural…

Ormand, Carol J.; Shipley, Thomas F.; Tikoff, Basil; Dutrow, Barbara; Goodwin, Laurel B.; Hickson, Thomas; Atit, Kinnari; Gagnier, Kristin; Resnick, Ilyse – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2017
Spatial visualization is an essential prerequisite for understanding geological features at all scales, such as the atomic structures of minerals, the geometry of a complex fault system, or the architecture of sedimentary deposits. Undergraduate geoscience majors bring a range of spatial skill levels to upper-level courses. Fortunately, spatial…

Bartonová, Markéta; Kricfaluši, Dana – International Baltic Symposium on Science and Technology Education, 2021
Integrated teaching is teaching in which the educational contents of subjects are interconnected. Connections can be discussed in a specialized integrated subjects e.g., Integrated science. Integrated science is a subject that connects knowledge from chemistry, biology, physics, geography, and geology. One topic is discussed from a different point…

Nyarko, Samuel Cornelius; Rudge, David Wyss – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
Current science education efforts emphasise the need to train students to understand the nature of scientific work. In geosciences, training students to understand how science works does not only promote their interest and community engagement in the field, but also has the potential to promote awareness and ethics. However, instructional…

Seijas, Nahia; Uskola, Araitz – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
Citizens show misunderstandigs about groundwater that hinder making informed decisions about problems like the deterioration of aquifers. Science education should address this, including modelling practices about the aquifer model. Physical models (PM) have been extensively used in geology teaching, but students rarely construct, evaluate or…

Manzanares, Amanda D.; Anderson, Steven W.; Pugh, Kevin J. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2023
The mineral identification lab is typically the entry level college student's initial hands-on introduction to minerals. Our research focused on identifying alternative mineralogy conceptions that students bring to an introductory geology course and investigating the origins and nature of these conceptions. We identified a number of alternative…

Torres, Joana; Vasconcelos, Clara – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2020
The development of informed views of nature of science is considered to be a crucial aim for science education. This study assesses Portuguese prospective science teachers' views of the nature of science before and after an intervention programme that took place in the first year of their master. Nine prospective science teachers that will teach…

Chen, Chia-Li Debra; Yeh, Ting-Kuang; Chang, Chun-Yen – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2016
This study examines whether a Role Play Game (RPG) with embedded geological contents and students' anticipation of an upcoming posttest significantly affect high school students' achievements of and attitudes toward geology. The participants of the study were comprised of 202 high school students, 103 males and 99 females. The students were…
