Salgado-Jauregui, Estefanía; Martindale, Rowan C.; Ellins, Katherine; Reyes, Enrique; Weiss, Anna – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2022
Although many have suggested the use of games to motivate active learning, studies that evaluate the learning outcomes of games with high school students are scarce. Here, we present the evaluation of the board game "Taphonomy: Dead and Fossilized" as an active learning tool to teach fossilization and Earth systems thinking with rising…

Esquinca, Alberto; Araujo, Blanca; de la Piedra, María Teresa – Bilingual Research Journal, 2014
The article analyzes meaning-making practices in a two-way dual-language (TWDL) program on the U.S.-Mexico border among "transfronterizo" and Mexican-origin youth. In the article, we show that emergent bilingual learners and their teacher participate in activities that mediate understanding of science content knowledge. We show how the…
