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…

Anderson, Steven W.; Libarkin, Julie C. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2016
Nationwide pre- and posttesting of introductory courses with the Geoscience Concept Inventory (GCI) shows little gain for many of its questions. Analysis of more than 3,500 tests shows that 22 of the 73 GCI questions had gains of <0.03, and nearly half of these focused on basic physics and chemistry. We also discovered through an assessment of…

Geraghty Ward, Emily M.; Semken, Steven; Libarkin, Julie C. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2014
We present a mixed-methods approach to community-based assessment design that engages tribal college and university faculty, students, and science educators, as well as experts in cultural knowledge from the Blackfeet and DinĂ© (Navajo) nations. Information from cultural experts, gathered through a combination of sequential surveys and focus group…

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…
