ED030
What have we learned from formal and informal Geoscience Education Research?
Session ID#: 250955
Session Description:
This session invites researchers to present their findings and insights on advancing geoscience education in both formal and informal spaces to meet the future geoscience workforce needs. The goal of this session is to bring together educators, scientists, past participants of geoscience outreach programs, and scholars to share their experiences, discuss innovative teaching methods, and explore the evolving landscape of geoscience education. Whether your research focuses on curriculum development, student engagement, technology integration, workforce development, or field-based learning, we welcome you to contribute to a comprehensive understanding of how geoscience education programs can be enhanced. Join us in fostering a collaborative environment where we can collectively exchange ideas, insights, and best practices on how to enhance the geoscience workforce.
