Cervenec, Jason; Fox, Jesse; Peggau, Karina; Wilson, Aaron B.; Li, Bingyu; Hu, Dingyu; Chang, Ruiyang; Wong, Joey; Bossley, Craig – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2022
The Fluid Earth (FE) is an interactive data visualization initially developed for learning about Earth's atmosphere in informal educational settings. In this study, we tested FE in middle school classes to assess student engagement in a formal educational setting. Using a quasi-experimental design, students were assigned to interact with the data…

Swedish 12-13-Year-Old Students' Conceptions of the Causes and Processes Forming Eskers and Erratics
Arrhenius, Mattias; Lundholm, Cecilia; Bladh, Gabriel – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2021
This study investigates students' conceptions of the causes and processes that form eskers and erratics, types of glacial and glaciofluvial landforms which to date have been little researched in geoscience education. The data collected for the study included 134 responses to an assignment completed by 12- to 13-year-old students in the Swedish…

Vergara-Díaz, Claudia; Bustamante, Karla; Pinto, Luisa; Cofré, Hernán – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2020
International research has recognized numerous alternative conceptions and obstacles to learning about Earth dynamics. The objective of this research was to evaluate the impact of a teaching intervention that incorporates models and scientific inquiry to promote understanding about Earth dynamics in a group of seventh grade students at a school in…

Wild, Tiffany A.; Hilson, Margilee P.; Farrand, Kathleen M. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2013
Eighteen middle and high school students with visual impairments participated in a weeklong field-based geology summer camp. This paper reports the curriculum, strategies, and what the students learned about Earth science by climbing in and out of caves, collecting fossils, exploring a bog, and interacting with experts in the field. Students were…

Fichter, Lynn S.; Pyle, E. J.; Whitmeyer, S. J. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2010
To say Earth systems are complex, is not the same as saying they are a complex system. A complex system, in the technical sense, is a group of -agents (individual interacting units, like birds in a flock, sand grains in a ripple, or individual units of friction along a fault zone), existing far from equilibrium, interacting through positive and…
