To satisfy their research goals, students pursuing a Specialization in Geoscience Education Research will partner with faculty who have expertise in geoscience, education, learning science, psychology, cognitive science, and/or social science. Geoscience Education Research cannot be successfully conducted without expertise of the geoscience discipline. Those pursuing a Specialization in Geoscience Education will develop expertise in a chosen field of geoscience and apply that knowledge to their geoscience education research. Prospective students interested in pursuing a PhD in Earth & Atmospherice Sciences with a Specialization in Geoscience Education Research must have completed either the above requirement and/or a Master's in Geoscience Education, Geology, Earth Science, Meteorology, Atmospheric Science, Climate Science, Ocean Science, Marine Science, or Environmental Science. Prospective students interested in pursuing a Master's in Earth & Atmospheric Sciences with a Specialization in Geoscience Education Research must have completed a Bachelor's degree in Geology, Earth Science, Meteorology, Atmospheric Science, Climate Science, Ocean Science, Marine Science, or Environmental Science. The Geoscience Education Specialization : Three of our primary goals include (1) furthering our understanding of novice challenges to increasing expertise in the geosciences, (2) increasing our evidence base for what enhances student learning in the geosciences, and (3) developing effective implementation strategies for applying evidence-based approaches to the learning and teaching of geosciences at the college level. We bring the same level of scientific rigor to our geoscience education research as we do to our more traditional areas of research in the Earth and atmospheric sciences. Dimensions of teaching include, for example, course design, pedagogy, and assessment.įaculty and student interests in geoscience education research span a variety of formal and informal learning environments, primarily at the college level. These processes are connected to specific dimensions involved in student learning and include the cognitive domain, affective domain, and psychomotor domain. In particular, GER focuses on investigations dealing with the processes involved in both learning and teaching geoscience. GER involves the study of learning processes and teaching practices related to geoscience classrooms, laboratories, field experiences, and informal environments (e.g. With respect to DBER, the National Research Council (2012) states that the discipline 'Geoscience' includes Geology, Earth Science, Meteorology, Atmospheric Science, Climate Science, Ocean Science, Marine Science, and Environmental Science. Geoscience Education Research (GER)falls under the broad umbrella of Discipline-Based Education Research (DBER).
