Bhattacharya, Devarati; Carroll Steward, Kimberly; Forbes, Cory T. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2021
Developing understanding about the Earth's climate and the phenomenon of global climate change (GCC) is essential for all students, our future citizens and decision-makers. Recent implementation of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) has intensified the focus on teaching and learning of the Earth's climate and GCC in formal learning…

Bhattacharya, Devarati; Carroll Steward, Kim; Forbes, Cory T. – International Journal of Science Education, 2021
In this mixed method study, we analyse the effectiveness of two pedagogical approaches -- one model-based and another non-model-based -- for developing secondary students' understanding of the phenomenon of increase in Earth's average surface temperatures, a core dimension of global climate change (GCC). Building on past research on teaching and…

Mostacedo-Marasovic, Silvia-Jessica; Mott, Brooke Colleen; White, Holly; Forbes, Cory T. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2023
Water is one of Earth's fundamental natural systems. It is crucial to foster water literacy in today's global citizens, particularly through formal education. The purpose of this research, in parallel with a study focused on human dimensions of water systems (Mostacedo-Marasovic et al., in press), is to examine water-related K-12 standards for…

Carroll Steward, Kimberly; Bhattacharya, Devarati; Chandler, Mark; Forbes, Cory T. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2022
In the past decade, emphasis on promoting "climate literacy" in K-16 science classrooms has increased. Teachers play a critical role in cultivating these opportunities, especially in secondary science classrooms. However, most prior climate education research has focused on students and student learning; little is known about how…

White, Holly; Lally, Diane; Forbes, Cory T. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2022
Groundwater is a critical component of the global water cycle and standards-based topic within science education. However, students articulate an array of ideas about groundwater systems, including their natural and human elements. One way to support students' learning about groundwater systems is through the use of data-driven, computer-based…

Lally, Diane; Forbes, Cory T.; McNeal, Karen S.; Soltis, Nicholas A. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2019
Scientific modeling and systems thinking (SMST) is central to the geosciences, yet few studies have documented how and to what extent undergraduate geoscience courses emphasize SMST, as well as factors that might help explain or predict these trends. Here, we present research based on data (n = 2056) from the most recent (2016) administration of…

Petitt, Destini N.; Forbes, Cory T. – Natural Sciences Education, 2019
Growing human populations place increasing demands on our planet, resulting in an array of challenges with both scientific and non-scientific dimensions. These challenges are collectively known as socio-scientific issues (SSIs). It is essential to understand how students learn to use values to reason about SSIs, particularly when dealing with…
