Abstract: Integrating knowledge from across the natural and social sciences is necessary to effectively address societal tradeoffs between human use of biological diversity its preservation. Collaborative processes can change ways decision makers think about scientific evidence, enhance levels mutual trust credibility, advance conservation policy discourse. Canada has responsibility for a large fraction some major ecosystems, such as boreal forests, Arctic tundra, wetlands, temperate oceans....
This article describes qualitative case studies of two teachers who integrated student-created digital documentaries into their social classrooms. Thornton's (2001a) concept the teacher as curricular gatekeeper and Mishra Koehler's (2006) Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge framed study. The worked within constraints a very detailed mandatory curriculum, taught similar content, used same online documentary tool. Despite these similarities, they planned executed projects in divergent...
Many barriers exist to K–12 classroom teachers' adoption and implementation of geospatial technologies with their students. To address this circumstance, we have developed implemented a curriculum approach promote professional growth curriculum-linked development (PD) support the socio-environmental science investigations (SESI) in an urban school environment that includes reluctant learners.

An immersive game-based Virtual Reality (iVR) module for secondary students to learn about locations in their watershed with a primary focus on city was designed and developed. A design model associated theory that focuses elements lead engagement learning iVR gamebased experiences is described. series of principles were used the environment are discussed. The game implemented an urban school eastern USA 54 economically disadvantaged adolescents ages 16-18 who typically unengaged traditional...
<p>Two new instruments were created to assess secondary students’ (ages 14-18) spatial learning attitudes and their interest in science technology, related careers ideas perceptions about geospatial technologies. These designed evaluate the outcomes of a curriculum project. During two-year period, we explored use these during prototype testing pilot series socio-environmental investigations.

Although computational thinking has most often been associated with the science, technology, engineering, and math education fields, our research takes a first step toward documenting student outcomes integrating assessing in social studies. In this study, we pursued an embedded design, merging teacher action qualitative case into collaborative inquiry. Through analysis of classroom-based data, including samples work, were able to develop understanding manner which emerged classroom....
