Collaborative Proposal Watershed Citizenship Learning Community

跨学科（99）该项目利用流域作为一种手段，向非专业和专业预科本科生灌输对保存和养护淡水资源的兴趣，并鼓励他们进行环境管理。该项目为学生提供了成为公民科学家的工具、知识和动力。采用跨学科的方法，将流域的自然科学和社会科学结合起来，开发出既严格又易于接受的课程，适用于各种专业和学科的学生。在流域生态学和流域公民的串联课程的开发，整合了服务学习和本科研究在当地流域。具体来说，该项目使用水生大型无脊椎动物的DNA条形码，并结合网络社区建设工具WikiWatershedTM，将学生融入更大的流域社区。对流域科学和社会科学的关注确保了本材料在任何地点的相关性。该项目制作易于复制和转移的课程材料，以便更广泛地实施，可以修改以适应任何分水岭地址。

INTERDISCIPLINARY (99)The project uses the watershed as a means to instill an interest in the preservation and conservation of freshwater resources and encourage environmental stewardship in non-major and pre-major undergraduate students. The project empowers students with the tools, knowledge and motivation to become citizen-scientists. An interdisciplinary approach is used that integrates the natural and social science of watersheds to develop a curriculum that is both rigorous and accessible to students across a wide range of majors and disciplines. Tandem courses in Watershed Ecology and Watershed Citizenship are developed that integrate service learning and undergraduate research in the local watershed. Specifically, the project uses DNA barcoding of aquatic macroinvertebrates and incorporates a cyber community-building tool, WikiWatershedTM, to integrate students into the larger watershed community. The focus on watershed science and social science assures relevance of this material in any location. This project produces easily replicable and transferable curricular material for broader implementation that can be modified to adapt to any watershed address.
