Teaching Anchor Concepts of Climate Change Through Sediment Core Archives

本项目将科学研究与地球科学课程的教学相结合，服务于通识教育学生、职前教师和早期地球科学专业的学生。研究专家和教育专家的合作，从R1研究机构到公共文科，再到社区学院，都是这个项目的一部分，他们从教育工作者未充分利用的档案中开发和课堂测试学习材料，以及由综合海洋钻探计划和南极钻探计划回收的世界海洋深海沉积物岩心。学习材料基于真实的科学数据。关于年龄、年代学和地球气候历史的基本调查实践和地球科学内容正在向大学教育者开放。我们对全球气候变化历史和高纬度地区对全球变暖的快速反应的理解的当前进展和挑战的练习，以及科学调查和发现的过程和兴奋，正在开发用于介绍性地球科学，海洋学和历史地质学课程。科学的观察、分析和批判性思维技能被灌输到练习中。这些学习材料的设计是为了让学生们可以随时参与以过去气候变化和解释地球历史的科学基础为中心的社会对话和讨论。学习材料正在通过JOILearning.org网站传播，该网站还提供了SERC以及欧洲和日本iodp网站的链接。在会议上的演讲、期刊手稿和促进AGU的教师研讨会，不仅向大学水平的地球科学教育者，而且向科学家、高中和非正式教育者推广了项目成果学习材料。

Earth Systems Science (40)This project is integrating scientific research with education in geoscience courses that serve general education students, pre-service teachers, and early geoscience majors. A collaborative of research specialists and education specialists from institutions ranging from R1 research to public liberal arts to a community college are part of this project, developing and classroom-testing learning materials from an archive underutilized by educators, deep-sea sediment cores from the world's oceans recovered by the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program and the Antarctic Drilling Program. The learning materials are based on authentic scientific data. Fundamental investigative practices and geoscience content on age, chronology, and Earth's climate history are being made accessible to college educators. Exercises on current advances and challenges to our understanding of global climate change history and the rapid response of the high latitudes to global warming, as well as the processes and excitement of scientific investigation and discovery are being developed for use in introductory earth science, oceanography, and historical geology courses. Scientific observational, analytical, and critical thinking skills are being infused in the exercises. The learning materials are being designed so that students can walk away ready to engage in societal conversations and discussions that center on past climate change and the scientific basis for interpreting Earth history. The learning materials are being disseminated through the JOILearning.org website, with links from SERC, and European- and Japanese-IODP websites. Presentations at conferences, journal manuscripts, and the facilitation of a teacher workshop at AGU are promoting the project outcome learning materials not only to college-level geoscience educators, but also to scientists, and high school and informal educators.
