Dear Colleagues.
We welcome abstract submissions to our AGU26 technical session.
Session title
ED017. Experiential learning in the Earth and marine sciences: Models of effective instructional approaches in secondary and post-secondary education
Conveners
Shondricka Burrell (Morgan State University)
LeAnne Teruya (San Jose State University)
Session Description
Experiential science education engages learners in building science content knowledge while participating in inquiry, critical thinking, modeling, and investigative practices. Characteristic of experiential learning is the emphasis on conceptual understanding by doing (Carver, 1904; Dewey, 1938). Such innovative instructional approaches may include but are not limited to service-learning; problem-based and project-based learning; mentored research programs; model-based professional development workshops; field-based experiences; community or place-based learning; ocean studies; and immersive sea-going experiences. This session provides opportunities for faculty, teachers, teacher-educators, Earth and marine science educators, and science education researchers to share evidence-based instructional practices, innovative program models, and pilot program designs. We welcome presentations of projects that include quantitative results and/or qualitative findings.
