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…

Jones, Jason P.; McConnell, David A. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2023
In the past couple of decades, the geoscience education community has made great strides toward investigating how to provide effective student learning experiences in the college setting. While experiences such as student-centered teaching strategies and course design elements are useful for the instructor, they may not make important elements of…

Bateman, Kathryn M.; Ham, Joy; Barshi, Naomi; Tikoff, Basil; Shipley, Thomas F. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2023
Spatial skills are embedded in all aspects of the geosciences. The teaching and learning of spatial skills has been a challenging, but vital, endeavor. To support student learning of spatial skills in undergraduate courses, we designed scaffolds for spatially dependent content in a mid-level geoscience course using playdough to allow students to…

Wang, Ning; Stern, Robert J.; Waite, Lowell – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2023
Geographic context is important for Earth Science education but different places have different geological complexities and effectively establishing geoscientific context can be difficult. Well-designed videos can help geoscience educators introduce geologically significant places to undergraduate geoscience students. However, there is no…

LaDue, N. D.; McNeal, P. M.; Ryker, K.; St. John, K.; van der Hoeven Kraft, K. J. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2022
Active learning research emerged from the undergraduate STEM education communities of practice, some of whom identify as discipline-based education researchers (DBER). Consequently, current frameworks of active learning are largely inductive and based on emergent patterns observed in undergraduate teaching and learning. Alternatively, classic…

Salgado-Jauregui, Estefanía; Martindale, Rowan C.; Ellins, Katherine; Reyes, Enrique; Weiss, Anna – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2022
Although many have suggested the use of games to motivate active learning, studies that evaluate the learning outcomes of games with high school students are scarce. Here, we present the evaluation of the board game "Taphonomy: Dead and Fossilized" as an active learning tool to teach fossilization and Earth systems thinking with rising…

Conrad, Dominik; Libarkin, Julie C. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2022
Many geoscience phenomena cannot be perceived at human temporal or spatial scales. As a consequence, we can only understand many processes that drive geological phenomena through analogical reasoning. Building deep conceptual understanding requires instruction that activates the appropriate source analogs and allows students to build useful…

Turk, Judith K.; Young, Rebecca A. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2022
Estimation of soil texture is an essential skill for soil scientists, but a difficult skill to learn. We compared two approaches for teaching soil texture: the traditional flowchart approach and an experimental self-calibration method. Three lab sections of an introductory soil science class were assigned to learn by the flowchart method (n = 60)…

Cockrell, Jay; Petcovic, Heather L. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2022
Topographic maps are a common form of 3D surface elevation data represented as a 2D display. Despite their use in geoscience courses, many students find learning to effectively read and interpret these maps challenging. Here, we present a tool for teaching topographic map interpretation using 3D printed terrain. The terrain was 3D printed from a…

Gregory, Daniel David; Tomes, Heidi Elizabeth; Panasiuk, Sofia L.; Andersen, A. Julia – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2022
The capstone course for many Earth Science programs is a field course. To increase accessibility and to create a substitute in light of the cancellation of in-person courses due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we developed an online introductory field geology course. The course consisted of six different modules. The first was a virtual reality room,…

Davi, Nicole; Pringle, Patrick; Fiondella, Francesco; Lockwood, Jeff; Oelkers, Rose – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2022
Scientists rely heavily on tree-ring records to better understand climate variability of the past millennium. Tree rings can also be utilized to give students a window into paleoclimate research, the methods scientists use, and the importance of scientific findings. Here, we present five online labs that introduce undergraduate students to the…

Johnson, Hailey A.; Adams, Peter N.; Antonenko, Pavlo D. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2022
The vast extent to which quantitative prerequisites vary among post-secondary geoscience programs often presents a challenge for educators and students alike in courses for which math and physics are foundational. This study discusses the design of GEOAppS, a suite of educational numerical models, and its application toward lowering the…

Ramirez, Salvador, II; Teten, Samantha; Mamo, Martha; Speth, Carol; Kettler, Timothy; Sindelar, Meghan – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2022
Innovative didactive strategies such as online learning and flipped classroom can improve student performance while maximizing university resources and personnel. Assessing how students perceive courses designed using these strategies, as well as perform within them, is becoming increasingly important. An introductory soil science course at a…

Arthurs, Leilani A.; Kowalski, Chelsie M. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2022
Water sciences education is paramount to sustainable groundwater resource management, especially of drinking water, but misunderstandings about groundwater among non-experts remain widespread. Groundwater residence is an especially challenging concept to learn because it is not directly visible in typical circumstances. The present study uses a…

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…
