Concerns about environmental sustainability are constantly in the news as global warming, fossil fuels, and pollutants increasingly endanger habitats worldwide. What once were uncommon extreme environmental events have become commonplace--unseasonal intense heat, year-round drought, raging wildfires, rising sea levels, severe storms, massive…

McGowan, Veronica Cassone; Bell, Philip – Educational and Developmental Psychologist, 2022
Objective: Systems thinking can be counterintuitive to everyday ways of knowing. This can surface doubt around predicted patterns of emergence in complex systems data, especially as it relates to the current climate crisis and related justice-oriented solutions. Method: Our study describes a four-year design-based research project in which we…

This paper describes the development, validation, and key findings of the Canadian Ocean Literacy Survey. Led by the Canadian Ocean Literacy Coalition (COLC) and its research partners, this survey was developed as part of a Canada-wide, mixed methods research initiative examining how ocean literacy is understood and practised across different…

The Essential Principles and Fundamental Concepts described in Version 3 of this guide represent content that does not fall neatly within traditional science disciplines, but rather supports a focus on integrated science. Many Fundamental Concepts illustrate more than one Essential Principle. This guide presents a vision of an ocean-literate…

Leitão, Rui; Maguire, Martin; Turner, Sarah; Guimarães, Laura – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
Motivation theory is indispensable when discussing processes of learning. Learners who are motivated can learn almost everything. Students' motivation is probably one of the most important factors for teacher effectiveness both for engagement in the learning process and high academic performance. To have effective environmental education, it is…

This guide includes 8 elementary school level lessons, inspired by topics from "Ocean Odyssey," a film for IMAX and other Giant Screen theaters. Host-narrated by oceanographer Sylvia Earle, "Ocean Odyssey" is an immersive film following a mother and calf humpback whale on their migration from the tropics to Antarctica.…

van den Akker, Robin; Noordegraaf-Eelens, Liesbeth; van Eekelen, Bregje F.; Teeuwen, Roger – European Journal of STEM Education, 2021
Living in a Delta, amidst water, land and air, means living and engaging with complex concerns. To address these concerns the Rotterdam Arts and Sciences Lab (RASL) has developed an education- and research program for Higher Education in which the (alpha-, beta-, and gamma-) sciences and the arts are combined to engage with with all of the scales,…

W.; Porter, Darren – Canadian Journal of Environmental Education, 2021
In this article, we consider the role of ocean literacy in coastal communities as an approach that fosters relevant, community-based learning. We also propose solutions to challenges facing human-ocean relationships by cultivating common understanding and collective action. We present four examples of community-based ocean literacy in…

Arnott, Russell – Primary Science, 2020
The durability and variety of plastics mean that they can take an age to break down (or biodegrade) in the environment. Plastic carrier bags will be around for 50 to 100 years, plastic bottles for 600 years, and Styrofoam/polystyrene containers for a whopping 5000 years. As more of these plastic items are added to the ocean, they just build up and…

Becca Beutel; Samuel W. Stevens – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2024
Below the surface of the ocean, currents, eddies, and other physical processes redistribute energy and biologically important elements. Measuring this transport can be challenging, and scientists must address a wide spectrum of oceanographic and engineering concepts when designing instruments to observe these processes. In this activity,…

Francis, Prue F.; Venzo, Paul; Bellgrove, Alecia – Australian Journal of Environmental Education, 2021
Marine science picture books have the capacity to shape what young people know and how they think about ocean environments and marine biodiversity. Despite academic scholarship on marine science literacy broadly, relatively little has been done to study the role of picture books in teaching children about this topic. This paper is an attempt to…

Edgardo A. Stubbs – European Journal of Education (EJED), 2021
Nautical charts are an essential information resource for safe navigation. However, they are not only a useful resource for navigators; According to the International Hydrological Organization (IHO), they essentially fulfill two functions: 1) Maritime navigation, since most hydrographic services have the obligation to provide coverage of the…

Leitão, Rui; Maguire, Martin; Turner, Sarah; Arenas, Francisco; Guimarães, Laura – Environmental Education Research, 2022
Low levels of concern about anthropogenic climate change have been attributed to a range of factors, some of which relate to education. These include people's lack of understanding and engagement with the multifaceted nature and extent of the problem that it presents to current and future generations. Limited knowledge is also known to be an…

Anderson, Brendan M.; Herleman, Katherine C.; Ebey, Chris; Haas, Don – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2022
Climate change portends significant harms to humans and biodiversity but public knowledge of relevant scientific information remains limited. As societal changes and investment are essential to addressing anthropogenic climate change, efforts to better promote both civic science literacy and public awareness of climate change impacts are urgently…
