Fall 2022 Topic Study: Assessing Three-Dimensional Learning: Using the Critical Aspects of Sensemaking to Design Assessments Meaningful to Both Teachers and Students

This topic study on assessing three-dimensional learning will move our learning community from research to practice over the course of four weeks. We’ll use high-quality instructional and assessment materials to identify the similarities and differences between tasks designed for instruction and assessment tasks.

The fall 2022 topic study Assessing Three-Dimensional Learning: Using the Critical Aspects of Sensemaking to Design Assessments Meaningful to Both Teachers and Students starts October 11 and runs through November 1, 2022.

Fall 2022: Prioritizing Relationships and Equity: Leveraging Student Ideas to Accelerate Learning

Teachers can accelerate learning for students when they develop classroom communities where students feel known and valued. We explore the connection between deep science learning and student opportunities to express, clarify, and represent their ideas in a supportive learning community while receiving feedback from their trusted peers and teacher.

The NSTA Web Seminar Series Prioritizing Relationships and Equity: Leveraging Student Ideas to Accelerate Learning starts August 9 and runs through August 30, 2022.

Innovations in Undergraduate Teaching and Learning of Earth and Environmental Science, with a Focus on Climate Change

Journal of College Science Teaching—March/April 2022 (Volume 51, Issue 4)

By Gillian M. Puttick, Brian Drayton, and Christina Silva

In this study, we analyzed the literature on teaching or learning on a topic in Earth science, environmental science, or climate change between 1995 and 2017. We investigated the length of the intervention, intervention setting and instructional level, instructional purpose, pedagogical framing and pedagogical methods (including what materials and activities students used), degree of inquiry afforded to students, and student outcomes. The literature reveals that instructors are attempting to move beyond didactic practices by incorporating new pedagogical methods into existing courses they teach or revamping whole courses at the departmental level. In general, study authors frame their innovations in terms of a need to address student engagement; however, the extent to which studies explicitly link engagement and learning outcomes is mixed. In addition, while study authors express the goal of adopting active learning pedagogies, their theories of change are mostly unexamined. Finally, few researchers reported results relating directly to specific populations of interest, especially those underserved in STEM. We suggest several areas in which further research is needed.
