ELLIS, SHARI, and ROGOFF, BARBARA. The Strategies Efficacy of Child versus Adult Teachers. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1982, 53, 730-735. Informal reports observations teaching interactions in classrooms suggest that children instruct each other primarily through demonstration modeling tasks, while adult teachers show a greater reliance on verbal instruction. Although child appear to utilize very different strategies, number authors believe may serve as effective teachers, perhaps even more than...
Natural history museums are the principal repositories of collections that represent much objective evidence for evolution. With approximately 50 million visitors annually, US natural can significantly influence public's understanding Here we present results a study investigated knowledge key evolutionary concepts exhibited by high-school students and adults who visited museums. Ninety-five percent participants understood relative geological time (superposition), but only 30 explained...
The digitization of biocollections is a critical task with direct implications for the global community who use data research and education. Recent innovations to involve citizen scientists in increase awareness value biodiversity specimens; advance science, technology, engineering, math literacy; build sustainability digitization. In support these activities, we launched first citizen-science event focused on specimens: Worldwide Engagement Digitizing Biocollections (WeDigBio). During...
This investigation included two phases of inquiry that examined the effects peer modeling upon play scripts children with specific language impairment (SLI). The first study employed a pretest-posttest control group design involving groups SLI (10 who participated in experimental treatment and 10 controls) models normal development). involved dyadic sessions which were paired model. Significant differences found between script reports (SLI-E) (SLI-C) impairment. second study, utilizing...
Considerable interest exists among lifelong learners in the USA about fossils and science of paleontology.Unlike some other science-related groups, e.g., astronomy ornithology, amateur paleontologists is primarily focused within local clubs societies with little national coordination.This paper presents results formative evaluation FOSSIL project, conducted after project "Kickoff" meeting held at NAPC (North American Paleontological Convention) 2014.FOSSIL developing a networked community...
A comprehensive overview of volunteer-driven public programs focused on activities to enhance natural history collections (NHCs) is provided. The initiative revolves around the WeDigBio events and Collections Club at Field Museum, aiming deepen public's connection with scientific collections, participatory science, improve data associated specimens. implementation journey these are outlined, including surveys conducted from 2015 through 2021 gauge participant motivation, satisfaction, impact...

The 55-million-year fossil record of horses (Family Equidae) has been frequently cited as a prime example long-term macroevolution. In the second half nineteenth century, natural history museum exhibits characteristically depicted to be single, straight-line (orthogenetic) progression from ancestor descendent. By beginning twentieth however, paleontologists realized that, rather than representing orthogenesis, evolutionary pattern was more correctly characterized by complexly branching...
Stage theories and empirical studies have concentrated on a few periods of childhood (e.g., age 5 to 7 years) as important times transition. On the basis ethnographic suggestions that period 8 10 years also involves interesting changes, authors carried out search published for findings transitions in capabilities at years. An annotated bibliography is provided summarizing found 5-year three journals. The discuss possibilities characterizing transition 10, well how such meshes with concept...
The first two decades of the 21 st Century have seen a rapid rise in creation, mobilization, research, and educational use digital museum data, especially natural biodiversity sciences. This has thrust history museums specimen collections they hold into forefront research systematics, ecology, conservation, underscoring their central role modern scientific enterprise. advent such digitization data mobilization initiatives as United States National Science Foundation’s Advancing Digitization...
Georeferencing is the process of aligning a text description geographic location with spatial based on coordinate system. Training aids are commonly created around georeferencing to disseminate community standards and ideas, guide accurate georeferencing, inform users about new tools, help evaluate existing geospatial data. The for Research Use (GRU) workshop was implemented as training aid that focused creation research use coordinates, included both data researchers providers, facilitate...
A survey of 280 fish biologists from a diverse pool disciplines was conducted in order to assess the use made biodiversity collections and how can better collect, curate share data they have. From responses, for collections, what find most useful, factors influence decisions access explore why some make decision not is collated reported. The results which could be used formulate sustainability plans administrators staff who while also highlighting diversity uses researchers.
KASSIN, SAUL M., and ELLIS, SHARI A. On the Acquisition of Discounting Principle: An Experimental Test a Social-Developmental Model. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1988, 59, 950-960. 2 studies were conducted to test social-developmental model discounting. In both, children age levels (5-7 years 8-10 years) directly experienced an inverse relation between extrinsic intrinsic motivation. Others randomly assigned irrelevant-experience control group. Afterwards, all subjects participated in social...
Paleontology is an interdisciplinary field that attracts a range of individuals, from hobbyists to professionals.A primary goal the NSF-funded FOSSIL Project establish unified community paleontologists and promote best practices in paleontology.The Belgrade PaleoBlitz was pilot effort meet these goals by guiding participants through museum curation process via rapid two-day immersion.The objectives event were to: 1) educate associated with process, 2) catalog specimens collected Quarry into...
