Estimating astronomical scales requires multiple complex mental processes, such as spatial thinking and interpreting large numbers. As such, it is a nontrivial question how these estimates can be most efficiently assessed. There is reason to believe that results from previous studies probing astronomical scale estimates are possibly susceptible to…

Informal science learning programs provide youth with opportunities to explore environmental challenges and potential solutions, often in personally relevant community contexts. Yet limited information is available regarding learning outcomes of such programs. In programming led by a university-based science education program and a youth-serving…

This study contributes to existing research on study abroad programming by exploring how short-term study abroad experiences develop college students' global citizenship skills.

Textbook models of externalities tacitly assume that those externalities fall upon individuals "outside" of the market. In many contexts--including common undergraduate examples--externalities fall "inside" the market instead. Positive externalities associated with vaccination, for instance, accrue to other individuals who…

This paper describes a study conducted in Bachelor of Pre-primary education degree classroom during a Teaching of the Natural Sciences class. It shows how poster may be used as a teaching and learning tool for natural science. The main motivation that guided the research was the fact that half the teacher trainee students had been removed from the…

Purpose: This study aims to examine the use of data visualization as a tool to support practitioner-led organizational learning within the emergency services.
