Can Experiences of Authentic Scientific Inquiry Result in Transformational Learning?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Walker, Tracy; Molnar, Tim – Journal of Transformative Education, 2013
This work examines the experience of secondary school students involved in authentic science inquiry (ASI) at the Canadian Light Source. We suggest this experience is a transformational learning experience for participants. Using evidence from surveys and interviews from a total of 119 high school students, 23 teachers, and 18 scientists…

Lens on Climate Change: Making Climate Meaningful through Student-Produced Videos
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Gold, Anne U.; Oonk, David J.; Smith, Lesley; Boykoff, Maxwell T.; Osnes, Beth; Sullivan, Susan B. – Journal of Geography, 2015
Learning about climate change is tangible when it addresses impacts that can be observed close to home. In this program, sixty-four diverse middle and high school students produced videos about locally relevant climate change topics. Graduate and undergraduate students provided mentorship. The program engaged students in research and learning…

Evolution of Students' Ideas about Natural Selection through a Constructivist Framework
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Baumgartner, Erin; Duncan, Kanesa – American Biology Teacher, 2009
Educating students about the process of evolution through natural selection is vitally important because not only is it the unifying theory of biological science, it is also widely regarded as difficult for students to fully comprehend. Anderson and colleagues (2002) describe alternative ideas and misconceptions about natural selection as highly…
