Perrault, Evan K.; Clark, Scott K. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2017
Despite the increasing awareness that sustainability is an issue needing ongoing attention, and despite millions of dollars spent yearly at universities to promote sustainable behaviors, previous research has found college students have primarily a unidimensional understanding of what sustainability encompasses. The current research sought to…

LaDue, Nicole; Clark, Scott K. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2012
The challenges and priorities of defining and achieving Earth System Science (ESS) literacy are examined through surveys of geoscience educators attending a professional geological meeting. Two surveys with Likert-style and free-response questions were distributed to geoscientists and K-12 teachers to elicit what instructors think are important…

Clark, Scott K.; Libarkin, Julie C.; Kortz, Karen M.; Jordan, Sarah C. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2011
The theory of plate tectonics is the conceptual model through which most dynamic processes on Earth are understood. A solid understanding of the basic tenets of this theory is crucial in developing a scientifically literate public and future geoscientists. The size of plates and scale of tectonic processes are inherently unobservable,…

Clark, Scott K.; Sibley, Duncan F.; Libarkin, Julie C.; Heidemann, Merle – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2009
The need to engage K-12 and post-secondary students in considering the Earth as a dynamic system requires explicit discussion of system characteristics. Fundamentally, dynamic systems involve the movement and change of matter, often through processes that are difficult to see and comprehend. We introduce a novel instructional method, termed…
