Place-Based Education: Looking at the Research
Kevin Krasnow
For the second episode in a three-part series on place-based education in science, we welcome Kevin Krasnow to the show. As ecologist, researcher and educator at Teton Science Schools, Kevin is currently studying differences in field research by comparing the outcomes from inquiry research, citizen science, and adventure hike experiences for middle/high school students. Kevin joins us to discusses the experiment, and shares some of his preliminary findings from measuring student understanding of the nature of science, attitudes about science, and self-efficacy through these treatment groups.
