Direct linkP. Fraile-Jurado; E. Sánchez-Rodríguez; V. Rodriguez-Galiano – Journal of Geography, 2024
This study examined how studying Geography and using personal landscape photography impact university-level Physical Geography students' ecological perspectives. A survey, employing the New Environmental Paradigm (NEP), was conducted on 77 History undergraduates at the semester's start and end. The results showed a significant shift toward more…

Faculty at all types of colleges and universities struggle with how smartphone use may enhance or diminish their pedagogy, in part because evidence-based data is lacking for most types of classrooms. Thus, we conducted a thorough investigation in an introductory biology lab course to determine how smartphones affected myriad aspects of student…

Unger, Shem; Rollins, Mark; Tietz, Allison; Dumais, Hailey – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
We evaluated an emerging smartphone application, iNaturalist, to increase taxonomic identification and engage first-year undergraduate biology majors in outdoor laboratories of aquatic ecosystems (stream and lake ecology) and terrestrial ecosystems (tree and leaf litter ecology). Labs involved identifying organisms using both standard field guides…

Grayburn, Jennifer, Ed.; Lischer-Katz, Zack, Ed.; Golubiewski-Davis, Kristina, Ed.; Ikeshoji-Orlati, Veronica, Ed. – Council on Library and Information Resources, 2019
This volume, comprising eight chapters from experts in a variety of fields, examines the use of three-dimensional (3D) and virtual reality (VR) technologies in research and teaching, and the library's vital role in supporting this work. 3D modeling, 3D capture techniques, and VR enable faculty and students to engage with highly detailed 3D…

Hopkins, Robert, II; Alberts, Halley – American Biology Teacher, 2015
This activity is designed as a primer to teaching population dispersion analysis. The aim is to help improve students' spatial thinking and their understanding of how spatial statistic equations work. Students use simulated data to develop their own statistic and apply that equation to experimental behavioral data for Gambusia affinis (western…

Zaimes, George N.; Crimmins, Michael A. – Journal of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Education, 2010
Spatial and temporal variability of riparian areas, as well as potential impacts from climate change, are concepts that land and water managers and stakeholders need to understand to effectively manage and protect riparian areas. Rapid population growth in the southwestern United States, and multiple-use designation of most riparian areas, makes…

Matlack, Glenn R.; McEwan, Ryan W. – American Biology Teacher, 2008
Human activity has profoundly altered the deciduous forest of the eastern United States. Modern forest is a patchwork of stands of varying ages, sizes, and shapes reflecting a complex history of land use. Much modern forest is nestled in and around human communities, and faces the threat of imminent clearance for residential and commercial…

Sullivan, John P. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2008
This study examined how photographs in six introductory environmental science texts portrayed the urban environments in which most U.S. students lived. All photographs from all texts were coded to determine whether they depicted urban areas. The urban photographs were then coded to determine what they communicated about the urban environment. The…

Pizzuti-Ashby, Jacqueline G.; Alary, Donna G. – Online Submission, 2008
This qualitative study represents perceptions of students regarding campus environment and campus life at University College of the Fraser Valley (UCFV), a public four-year university-college located in British Columbia, Canada. Employing a unique methodology, referred to as reflexive photography, student participants were asked to photograph and…

Schulze, S. – South African Journal of Higher Education, 2007
This study explores the usefulness of reflexive photography for qualitative research in the human and social sciences. The investigation was done in the context of how male academics construct their world in a university during transformation. A group of white, male academics in the human sciences were provided with a camera and were requested to…
