The Role of Ethical Care in the Geosciences: Examining the Perspectives of Geoscience Undergraduates
Peer reviewed
Direct linkNyarko, Samuel Cornelius; Fore, Grant A.; Licht, Kathy – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2023
Training students to become ethical geoscientists has generated significant interest, particularly when confronted with the need to consider geoscience practice in light of geo-technological advances and environmental issues associated with resource extraction, pollution, and climate change. In this research, we examine from the perspective of…

Scott, Charles; Behrisch, Tanya; Bhattacharjee, Monica; Grass, Starleigh; Bai, Heesoon – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2021
This paper curates four experiential narratives and poetry by the five co-authors that illustrate epistemic and ontic shift from the Modern Western (ModWest) mindset to a holistic, embodied and animistic mindset. Coming from different cultural backgrounds, yet having been systemically influenced by the dominant ModWest views and values, each…

This meta-analysis study aimed to comprehensively examine the effect size of STEM practices on the development of students' problem-solving skills. By combining the results of 25 individual studies, the researchers can gain a holistic understanding of the overall impact of STEM approaches. Consequently, these studies were categorized according to…

Lukes, Laura A.; Mazabel, Silvia; Sherman, Sarah Bean; Gilley, Brett; Pete, Shandin – New Directions for Teaching and Learning, 2023
Scientific research endeavors are increasingly collaborative in nature. As researchers work together in groups of increasing size to develop project goals and implement plans, traditional 1-1 single faculty-student mentor models are less relevant as students need input and guidance from the multiple faculty members contributing to the…

Grosser, Paula Farina; Xia, Zhongxin; Alt, Jannik; Rüppel, Uwe; Schmalz, Britta – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
With the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting contact restrictions, conducting field trips to hydrological research basins became close to impossible. Hydrological field knowledge is an essential part of hydrological education and research. In order to impart this knowledge to students of hydrological engineering subjects in times or…

Using Light Stable Isotopes to Assess Stream Food Web Ecology in a General Ecology Laboratory Course
Carroll, Hannah M.; Houston, Derek D.; Ankerstjerne, Suzanne; Wanamaker, Alan D., Jr. – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
Stable isotopes in natural materials provide a powerful way to study energy flow in many systems and are widely used in fields such as archaeology, ecology, forensics, geochemistry, geology, oceanography, palaeoecology and palaeoclimatology. Based on the manner in which stable isotopes fractionate in natural systems, they allow scientists to…

Boyd, Evelyn Abagayle; Lazar, Kelly Best – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2022
Recruitment and retention are critical for geoscience and the need for innovative ways of building these bridges to the geosciences is growing. Field experiences are a common attractor for students to the field sciences such as geoscience, but many research- and field-based experiences are limited to those who are already majors. Innovative,…

Atchison, Christopher L.; Hawthorne, Timothy L.; Torres, Hannah R.; Visaggi, Christy C.; Bencivenga, Patricia; Haralson, Joshua; Relyea, Darby; Jarrett, Olga S. – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2022
Through the voices of both faculty and student authors, we discuss the intentional integration of neurodiversity in an undergraduate, community geography research program. This exploratory case study takes conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion from theory to practice presenting the development of an inclusive learning community…

Hoyer, Lauren; Hastie, Warwick W. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2023
We present a quantitative study of responses to voluntary and anonymous surveys of undergraduate geology students enrolled at an English-medium, research university in South Africa. This research captured student interest in geology, their perceived level of understanding of key geological concepts, and the extent to which in-class and in-field…

Chelsea Nagy; Jennifer Balch – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2025
Today's data-driven world requires earth and environmental scientists to have skills at the intersection of domain and data science. These skills are imperative to harness information contained in a growing volume of complex data to solve the world's most pressing environmental challenges. Despite the importance of these skills, Earth and…

Meghan Lindsey Cook – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Experiential learning exercises, such as field trips, are a common pedagogical practice in geoscience curriculums. Their purpose is to facilitate the transfer of knowledge gained in a classroom or lab setting into a field setting, but can be considered a barrier for entry into the geosciences for those with disabilities, caregiver/employment…

Gormally, Alexandra – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2019
Sustainability is becoming a key component of many HE curricula. However, questions as to what sustainability is and how it can be embedded within subject specific curriculum are difficult to answer. Focussing on existing pedagogic scholarship in this area and by drawing on experiences from my own institution, this article discusses how the GEES…
