Katherine Ryker; Laura Lukes; Annie Klyce; Kim Cheek; Nicole D. LaDue; Peggy McNeal – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2025
The geoscience education research (GER) community has evolved and grown over the past several decades. Using Wenger et al.'s Community of Practice (CoP) model (2002), we discuss how the GER CoP (which is broader than the formal discipline of GER) has changed, highlighting noteworthy events and growth points. Trends in community membership and…

Katherine K. Ellins; Lucas J. Legendre; Adam S. Papendieck; Julia A. Clarke – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2025
A recurrent theme in the geosciences is the persistent need for more student demographic diversity, especially in academic programs. A strategy to make the geosciences inclusive and motivating for one marginalized group may not succeed with another, requiring the search for new approaches. The Geoscience Ambassadors, an extracurricular program for…

Adrian Gonzalez – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2025
The Higher Education sector has a critical role to play in shaping our global response to "wicked problems" and nowhere is this more evident than in university research, teaching, and public engagement on sustainability that seeks to tackle the increasingly perilous environmental situation. However, despite this critical civic mission,…

Julia A. Domenech; Renee M. Clary – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2025
Ventura, California's 2023 winter storm activity underscored the impact that runoff has on recreational water quality and public health. To examine public perception of stormwater runoff, coastal water quality, and community decision-making toward recreating in polluted water, an online survey of the Ventura River watershed community determined…

Tahani Mohammad ALebous – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2025
This study investigates the impact of blended learning on developing scientific thinking skills and self-efficacy among pre-service classroom teacher students. An experimental pretest-posttest design was employed to achieve the study's objectives. Two research instruments were developed: a scientific thinking skills test comprising 20 items and a…

Jacqueline McLaughlin; Laura Cruz; Carmen Postolache; Makayla Shank; Princeton Bijou; Kathleen Fadigan – Discover Education, 2025
This interview-based research study utilizes a phenomenological lens to explore student (n = 8) and faculty (n = 6) experiences associated with an international undergraduate research program named CHANCE. This program ran for three years (2021-2023) in Romania and focused on water issues confronting the Danube Delta according to the EU Water…

C. Herodotou; M. Aristeidou; E. Scanlon; S. Kelley – Open Learning, 2025
This paper examines the pedagogical integration of Virtual Microscopes (VMs) in Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs), to identify best practice and improve online pedagogy. It has captured the perspectives of 12 Health and Earth Science university teachers, through in-depth interviews, about the current integration of the VM in online teaching,…

Michael R. Brudzinski; Thomas F. Shipley; Joy Ham – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2025
Recent studies have identified an incomplete student understanding of how elastic rebound causes earthquakes. We hypothesized that realistic imaging of spatial patterns in ground motions over the course of the earthquake cycle would improve student understanding. Incorporating spatial change information in the form of both motion vectors and…

Amy Pallant; Christopher Lore; Hee-Sun Lee; Stephanie Seevers; Trudi Lord – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2025
This paper describes how plate tectonics and rock genesis, two topics that are typically addressed separately in secondary Earth science classes, can be taught together as an integrated system. We define the TecRocks Reasoning Framework, developed to support student reasoning about rock formation situated in the context of plate tectonics. We also…

Phil Seok Oh; Heesoo Ha; Seungho Maeng – International Journal of Science Education, 2025
The field of science education has put effort into providing opportunities for students to position themselves as epistemic agents pursuing the goal of making sense of natural phenomena. However, students often struggle in adapting scientific practices to achieve the sense-making goal. In this position paper, we conceptualise students'…

Christine Schreyer; Ken Longenecker; John Wagner – Language Documentation & Conservation, 2025
The lives of Kala people are deeply intertwined with marine and riparian environments on which their livelihoods depend. To document linguistic and environmental knowledge in these communities, as part of our community-based, collaborative language documentation project, we utilized three main interdisciplinary documentation methods: (1) River…

Zahra Sadat Roozafzai; Parisa Zaeri – International Online Journal of Primary Education, 2025
Earth science concepts can be challenging for children to grasp due to their abstract nature. This study explores the potential of 3D computer animation as an engaging and effective medium to communicate various earth science processes to young learners. By creating age-appropriate, scientifically accurate visualizations of geological features and…
