Emotion, Place, And Practice: Exploring The Interplay In Children's Engagement In Ecologists' Sampling Practices, Kathryn Lanouette
Emotion, Place, And Practice: Exploring The Interplay In Children's Engagement In Ecologists' Sampling Practices, Kathryn Lanouette
School of Education Articles
In science education, there has been a sustained focus on supporting the emergence of science practices in K–12 and field-based settings. Recent work has elevated the integral role of emotion in sparking and sustaining such disciplinary practices, deepening the field's understanding of what is entailed in “doing” science. Yet even as we gain this richer understanding of practice, less attention has been given to the places where practice emerges. These places play a critical role in the co-emergence of emotion and practice, and while separate strands of research have elevated emotion and practice or, alternately, place and practice, rarely has …

How Resilient Is It? The Resilience Quotient Zoning Ordinance, Qiong Wang, Yao Wang
How Resilient Is It? The Resilience Quotient Zoning Ordinance, Qiong Wang, Yao Wang
Reports
Grades: 9-12 Subjects: Environmental Science, Earth Science, Oceanography
The Resilience Quotient (RQ) system uses zoning ordinance to address coastal resilience development issues in the city of Norfolk, Virginia. This lesson plan goes through key resilience concepts and its strategies that can promote flood risk reduction, stormwater management, and energy resilience. The activity provides several scenarios to help students understand, simulate, visualize, discuss, and practice how the Resilience Quotient works for coastal developments in the city.
Exploring How Secondary Stem Teachers And Undergraduate Mentors Adapt Digital Technologies To Promote Culturally Relevant Education During Covid-19, Meredith W. Kier, Lindy L. Johnson
Exploring How Secondary Stem Teachers And Undergraduate Mentors Adapt Digital Technologies To Promote Culturally Relevant Education During Covid-19, Meredith W. Kier, Lindy L. Johnson
School of Education Articles
The COVID-19 global pandemic presented unprecedented challenges to K-16 educators, including the closing of educational agencies and the abrupt transition to online teaching and learning. Educators sought to adapt in-person learning activities to teach in remote and hybrid online settings. This study explores how a partnership between middle and high school teachers in an urban school district and undergraduate STEM mentors of color leveraged digital tools and collaborative pedagogies to teach science, technology, and engineering during a global pandemic. We used a qualitative multi-case study to describe three cases of teachers and undergraduate mentors. We then offer a cross-case analysis …
