Stroupe, David; Caballero, Marcos D.; White, Peter – Science Education, 2018
We argue that students should take on roles as "epistemic agents"--those who shape knowledge production and practices of a community. In this study, the research team--a science educator and two scientists--worked with a sixth-grade teacher to provide 90 students with opportunities to take up epistemic agency over a 22-day unit about…

Tonietto, Rebecca; O'Brien, Lara; Van Haitsma, Cyrus; Su, Chenyang; Blankertz, Nicole; Mosiniak, Hannah Grace Shaheen; Short, Caleb; Dawson, Heather Ann – International Journal of Sustainability in Higher Education, 2021
Purpose: The University of Michigan (U-M) is planning its course toward carbon neutrality. A key component in U-M carbon accounting is the calculation of carbon sinks via estimation of carbon storage and biosequestration on U-M landholdings. Here, this paper aims to compare multiple remote sensing methods across U-M natural lands and urban…

Legates, David R.; Soon, Willie; Briggs, William M.; Monckton of Brenchley, Christopher – Science & Education, 2015
Agnotology is the study of how ignorance arises via circulation of misinformation calculated to mislead. Legates et al. ("Sci Educ" 22:2007-2017, 2013) had questioned the applicability of agnotology to politically-charged debates. In their reply, Bedford and Cook ("Sci Educ" 22:2019-2030, 2013), seeking to apply agnotology to…

Miller, Alison L. – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2022
Child environmental health (CEH) science has identified numerous effects of early life exposures to common, ubiquitous environmental toxicants. CEH scientists have documented the costs not only to individual children but also to population-level health effects of such exposures. Importantly, such risks are unequally distributed in the population,…

Hunter-Doniger, Tracey – Journal of Adventure Education and Outdoor Learning, 2021
This study investigates the interconnectivity between art and ecology within a Forest School model. The success of outdoor programming, like Forest Schools, suggests that other outdoor curriculum art-based environmental education could provide valuable learning experiences. Within this article, the author dispels myths surrounding a romanticized…

Edmondson, Elizabeth; Navy, Shannon; Maeng, Jennifer; Gonczi, Amanda; Mannarino, Anne – Science and Children, 2019
Problem-based learning (PBL) involves students solving a problem with multiple solutions over time, like scientists in real-world contexts. This fourth-grade PBL unit had students become part of an endeavor to help their state of Virginia become energy independent. It conceptualized energy independence as becoming self-sufficient for energy…

Yangin, Selami; Turan, Ilhan; Bilgin, Sule – Review of International Geographical Education Online, 2020
This study aims to find out the effects on pre-service teachers of a constructivist teaching approach aided by use of a Porphyrios-tree. Use of a Porphyrios-tree is thought to be the basis of and most principled conceptual teaching tool to aid meaningful comprehension about concepts of interspecies relationships. The study has a quasi-experimental…

McNeill, Katherine L.; Pimentel, Diane Silva; Strauss, Eric G. – International Journal of Science Education, 2013
Inquiry-based curricula are an essential tool for reforming science education yet the role of the teacher is often overlooked in terms of the impact of the curriculum on student achievement. Our research focuses on 22 teachers' use of a year-long high school urban ecology curriculum and how teachers' self-efficacy, instructional practices,…

Schneller, A. J.; Johnson, B.; Bogner, F. X. – Environmental Education Research, 2015
This paper describes the validation process of measuring children's attitudes and values toward the environment within a Mexican sample. We applied the Model of Ecological Values (2-MEV), which has been shown to be valid and reliable in 20 countries, including one Spanish speaking culture. Items were initially modified to fit the regional dialect,…

Swain, Anshuman; Shofner, Marcia; Fagan, William F.; Marbach-Ad, Gili – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2022
This study explores the relationships between peer-to-peer interactions and (1) group formation among students, (2) choice of research, and (3) course performance in an online asynchronous ecology course at a research-intensive university. Peer-to-peer interactions have been known to enhance learning experience for students in a wide array of…
