Small Groups' Ecological Reasoning While Making an Environmental Management Decision.
Hogan, Kathleen
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v39 n4 p341-368 Apr 2002
Explores the ideas and reasoning students use to make a collaborative environmental management decision. Compares students' discussions with scientists' guidelines for making environmental management decisions. Finds that whereas across groups students touched on all of the themes that scientists consider to be important for making environmental management decisions, within most groups students focused more narrowly on particular themes.
