Miles, Danielle Christine – Natural Sciences Education, 2022
With the onset of global change, forest species diversity has declined in recent decades as pristine habitat in biological hotspots rapidly diminishes. Many carbon mitigation efforts directed at decreasing emissions from forest degradation and destruction assume that faunal biodiversity will benefit from such efforts. Yet, conservation of faunal…

Laskowski, Jessica; Gillespie, Caitlyn; Corral, Lucia; Oden, Amy; Fricke, Kent; Fontaine, Joseph J. – Science Activities: Classroom Projects and Curriculum Ideas, 2016
We present a hands-on outdoor activity coupled with classroom discussion to teach students about wildlife habitat selection, the process by which animals choose where to live. By selecting locations or habitats with many benefits (e.g., food, shelter, mates) and few costs (e.g., predators), animals improve their ability to survive and reproduce.…

Beasley, Todd – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2022
The Native American Medicine Wheel is a powerful tool to bring alive curricular connections from science and history to mathematics and civics as part of schoolyard gardening initiatives. As a living lab these gardens also serve as valuable tools to reinforce lessons on habitat enhancement. However, deeper lessons connected to the cultures of…

Hobson, Aidan – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2018
The early essays of Camus have been underexplored as educational texts. The discussion here introduces these texts for educational consideration. The analysis uncovers themes which link to existing educational research on Camus. As these are autobiographical texts they also provide new insight on the genesis of Camus' thinking on subjects of…

Wilcox, Jesse; Rose, Abby – Science and Children, 2022
Visual data--or visual sources of information--are a crucial part of helping students understand STEM concepts, improve their reading skills, and engage in science and engineering practices (Finson and Pedersen 2011). Indeed, many science and engineering practices require students to make meaning from visual data. When students are developing and…

Kedra, Joanna – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2021
The article presents a study of five Polish multicultural and multilingual families in Finland, and their engagement in digitally mediated family communication. Explored through an ethnographic inquiry into the in-app communication practices of Polish migrant mothers and children, the study contributes to the body of research at the intersection…

Kamil, Puspita Insan; Rusmadipraja, Ismail Agung; Sirait, Rinda Aunillah; Rusli, Nathan – Applied Environmental Education and Communication, 2023
Throughout history, humans shared habitats and resources with animals, making human-wildlife interactions (HWI), including conflict, inevitable. Understanding issues before mitigating them is one important aspect of conservation. This study assessed 1,613 registrants' data on public perception of HWI through a computer-mediated communication (CMC)…

Thraves, Genevieve; Berman, Jeanette; Baker, Penelope; Dhurrkay, Miriam; Mala, Raki – Australasian Journal of Gifted Education, 2022
Australian Aboriginal learners have a long history of underrepresentation in gifted and talented education. This results, at least in part, from cultural differences in the way giftedness is understood, as well as variance in the practices and processes used to develop talents. Perhaps a co-constructed both-ways model could go some way to…

Hansen, Nils Falk – American Journal of Play, 2023
In this article, the author deploys Erving Goffman's concept of territories of the self as an analytical tool to understand the challenges and opportunities a childcare setting presents for children engaged in social fantasy play. He uses this concept to unpack the unique institutional play habitat of a childcare facility and shows how Goffman's…

Loh, Michelle – Science Teacher, 2021
Urban greenspaces (UGS) play an important role in the well-being of communities. With guidance from a teacher, students can be empowered to lead and design a modern UGS that supports communities and biodiversity. This lesson plan was developed with students and their communities in mind to promote awareness of the benefits of UGS between health,…

McCormick, Molly; Lee, Carole – Science and Children, 2020
Most students have never had the opportunity to interact with amphibians. Field trips students list as most memorable are usually their outdoor experiences and interactions with living creatures. Apart from being memorable, field trips need to be meaningful and provide students with authentic learning experiences. Field trips allow students to…

Carrasco-Hernandez, R. – Journal of Biological Education, 2020
The aim of the present assay is to provide a simple algorithm as well as a didactic theoretical framework that may serve as an introduction to understanding modern habitat suitability (HS) modelling techniques in Ecology and Biogeography. The proposal is built on classical descriptive statistics and classical ecological theories. Shelford's theory…

Boyd, Margaret; Scott, Graham W. – Education 3-13, 2022
Children, and the adults who are responsible for their education, demonstrate an increasing lack of environmental understanding and knowledge. This is important because the development of societal environmental literacy will be key to the responses that we make to the current climate crisis. Many teachers perceive themselves to lack the skills,…

Smith, Brandy A.; Cline, Jane E. – Journal of STEM Arts, Crafts, and Constructions, 2016
This study considered how arts integration impacted preschoolers concerning the students' acquisition, understanding, and retention of information about animal habitats. This current investigation used control and experimental conditions to determine the effects of art integration during students' block building of animal habitats and their…

Kerr, Kevin C. R.; Harricharan, Ashley K. – Applied Environmental Education and Communication, 2021
Wildflower seeds have been distributed by zoos and other organizations to facilitate native plant gardening and promote pollinator conservation, but the effectiveness of these campaigns has not been formally evaluated. We use Toronto Zoo members as a sample population to assess the efficacy of distributing wildflower seeds versus informative…
