Schultz, David M.; Anderson, Stuart; Seo-Zindy, Ryo – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2013
For students who major in meteorology, engaging in weather forecasting can motivate learning, develop critical-thinking skills, improve their written communication, and yield better forecasts. Whether such advances apply to students who are not meteorology majors has been less demonstrated. To test this idea, a weather discussion and an eLearning…
