Developing Activities for Conceptualizing Climate and Climate Change

开展气候和气候变化概念化活动普渡大学正在开发一项创新的教学计划，旨在教育高中生和教师有关气候和气候变化的知识，以及科学和社会之间的复杂界面，这构成了与气候变化问题相关的管理决策的基础。作为该项目的一部分，正在开发一个基于标准的数字化教学方案，其中包含丰富的案例研究和可视化活动，以及供教师和学生使用的可视化图书馆资源。作为该奖项的一部分，将汇编一个关于学生对气候和气候变化的概念化和误解的研究数据库，并将其用作创建课程的基础。由科学教育工作者、气候学家和地球科学教师组成的开发团队正在组织这一加强教师教学和改善学生地球科学学习的示范教学计划。这些资源将通过该项目的网站传播，并将由科学学院外联计划向印第安纳州的教师提供有关其使用的专业发展。预计该项目不仅将提高学生和教师对气候和气候变化的理解，还将增强他们的视觉素养技能。

Developing Activities for Conceptualizing Climate and Climate ChangePurdue University is developing an innovative instructional program for educating high school students and teachers about climate and climate change, as well as the complex interface between science and society that forms the basis of management decisions related to climate change issues. A digital, standards-based instructional program that contains data rich case studies and visualization activities, as well as a visual library resource for teachers and students, are being developed as part of this project. As part of this award, a research database on students' conceptualizations and misconceptions about climate and climate change will be compiled and used as the foundation for creation of the curriculum. This model instructional program for enhancing teachers' pedagogy and improving students' geoscience learning is being assembled by a development team of science educators, climatologists, and Earth science teachers. These resources will be disseminated through the project's web site and professional development on their use will be provided to teachers in Indiana by the College of Science Outreach program. This project is expected to not only improve student and teacher understanding about climate and climate change, but also enhance their visual literacy skills.
