Pugh, Kevin J.; Paek, Sue Hyeon; Phillips, Michael M.; Sexton, Julie M.; Bergstrom, Cassendra M.; Flores, Selani D.; Riggs, Eric M. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2021
We used the social-cognitive choice model (Lent et al., 2018) as a framework for investigating academic and career choice in the domain of geoscience for male and female students. In addition, we explored the role of perceived connection to instructors and transformative experience as additional factors in the social-cognitive choice model. A…

Aksit, Osman; McNeal, Karen S.; Gold, Anne U.; Libarkin, Julie C.; Harris, Sara – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2018
We evaluated influences on the climate change risk perceptions of undergraduate students in an introductory Earth Science course. For this sample, domain-specific content knowledge about climate change was a significant predictor of students' risk perception of climate change while cultural worldviews (individualism, hierarchy) and political…

Baumfalk, Ben; Bhattacharya, Devarati; Vo, Tina; Forbes, Cory; Zangori, Laura; Schwarz, Christina – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2019
Developing scientific literacy about water systems is critical for K-12 students. However, even with opportunities to build knowledge about the hydrosphere in elementary classrooms, early learners may struggle to understand the water cycle (Forbes et al., [Forbes, C. T., 2015]; Gunckel et al., [Gunckel, K. L., 2012]; Zangori et al., [Forbes, C.…

Arthurs, Leilani A. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2019
Discipline-based education research (DBER) conducted by faculty within geoscience departments can address identified needs in undergraduate geoscience education. This study explores the evolution of undergraduate geoscience education research (GER) from 1985 to 2016, primarily in terms of the types of published research and secondarily in terms of…

Miller, Alison R.; Kastens, Kim A. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2018
Developing understanding of models and proficiency with modeling practice is challenging for both teachers and students. This 2-year study first investigated existing instructional strategies employed by teachers while teaching Earth and Space Science with dynamic physical models. Summer professional development introduced a conceptual framework,…
