Direct linkEbert, James R.; Dolphin, Glenn; Bischoff, Paul – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2023
Three cohorts of six pre-service Earth Science teachers (undergraduate majors in Earth Science Education) participated in summer research experiences focused on developing dynamic physical models of Earth processes to help middle and high school students understand complex concepts and confront misconceptions. The pre-service teachers used…

Climate change and global warming have huge impacts on the most fragile ecosystems on Earth. With temperatures rising, most of the tropical glaciers on Earth, found near the Equator, will be gone before the end of the century. These far-removed natural areas are obscure and difficult for students to visit or learn from directly. Educating students…

Felicity McLure; Mihye Won; David F. Treagust – International Journal of Science Education, 2023
Understanding mechanisms underpinning formation of convection currents is pivotal for developing explanations of plate tectonics when teaching Geoscience topics. While student generated diagrams explaining convection currents may be used to evaluate student conceptual understanding and alternative conceptions in this topic, students may need…

Armario, María; Oliva, José María; Jiménez-Tenorio, Natalia – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
In this study, we analyzed the descriptive knowledge and mental models of the phenomenon of tides manifested by 111 preservice primary teachers. The instrument employed is an open-ended questionnaire, analyzed by means of an approach that explores the descriptions, explanations, and predictions in respect of this phenomenon by our subjects. First,…

Christine Schlendorf – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Student performance in high school Earth science coursework is an important factor in lifelong scientific literacy and workforce readiness in geoscience fields. Performance often depends upon access to high quality teaching and resources in precollege academic settings. This study employed a non-experimental, correlational research design to…

Wallin, Anna; Valero, Paola; Norén, Eva – International Journal for Research on Extended Education, 2021
Based on an empirical study of policy enactment and mathematical enculturation in Swedish school-age educare, a conceptualization of mathematics as the assemblage of "activities" and "values" is proposed. Observations were analysed using policy enactment theory and the lens of mathematical activities. The result shows that…

Barrutia, Oihana; Ruíz-González, Aritz; Villarroel, José Domingo; Díez, José Ramón – Research in Science Education, 2021
Rainfall is a key process in the water cycle, the most structured scientific knowledge about water movement on Earth. Nevertheless, despite being a common topic covered in school science, it entails several cognitive difficulties for young children. This study uses a pictorial task and semi-opened questions to examine primary (11/12 years old) and…

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…

Kelly, Susan Meabh – Science Teacher, 2021
Thanks to the development and deployment of federally funded satellite-, buoy-, and aircraft-based remote sensing instruments, continuous streams of Earth and space data are publicly available via online databases. This accessibility provides flexibility to explore geoscience data that are interesting and relevant to students--keystone components…

The high Arctic is a remote place, where geoscientific research and teaching require expensive and logistically demanding expeditions to make use of the short field seasons. The absence of vegetation facilitates the use of modern photogrammetric techniques for the cost-effective generation of high-resolution digital outcrop models (DOMs). These…

Patterson Williams, Alexis; Gray, Salina – Science Teacher, 2021
Access to quality science and math instruction remains a civil rights and social justice issue as the scientific and technological divide widens (Tate 2001; Moses and Cobb 2001). Students without access to rigorous science instruction have been and will continue to be left behind. This inequality is salient for students in marginalized communities…

Soltis, Nicholas A.; McNeal, Karen S.; Schnittka, Christine G. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2021
Research has shown the highest level of understanding in the geosciences to be the ability to think about the Earth as a dynamic system. The Earth system contains four spheres: the geosphere, the hydrosphere, the biosphere, and the atmosphere. These spheres are linked through the biogeochemical cycles that move matter and energy through the…

Polcino, Christina; Jory, Billyjack; Sabety, Jean; Jones, Laura Grenot; Ashcroft, Jared; Rodriguez, Brandon – Science Teacher, 2020
The manufacture of metal alloys is ubiquitous, yet infrequently discussed in high school coursework as concepts related to them are often too complex or abstract for beginning science students. However, earlier introduction to metallurgy in classroom settings could promote interest in practical applications of chemistry, physics, and geology due…

Núñez, Anne-Marie; Rivera, Jessica; Hallmark, Tyler – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2020
Geosciences remains one of the least diverse science disciplines. Recent efforts in the discipline have aimed to address leadership, organizational, and structural factors to increase engagement of diverse participants. As these efforts expand, it is important to recognize the interrelated roles of distinctive social identities in affecting…

Tomas, Louisa; Mills, Reece; Rigano, Donna; Sandhu, Maryam – Australian Journal of Environmental Education, 2020
In Queensland, Australia, a new senior Earth and Environmental Science (EES) syllabus has been approved for first implementation in 2019. Given the natural alignment between EES and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), this study employs document analysis to investigate the extent to which the intended curriculum reflects the tenets of…
