Bhattacharya, Devarati; Carroll Steward, Kim; Forbes, Cory T. – International Journal of Science Education, 2021
In this mixed method study, we analyse the effectiveness of two pedagogical approaches -- one model-based and another non-model-based -- for developing secondary students' understanding of the phenomenon of increase in Earth's average surface temperatures, a core dimension of global climate change (GCC). Building on past research on teaching and…
