Abstract

This research identifies and analyzes student science knowledge of a current marine natural resource issue. The World Court U.S./Canadian Boundary Decision has received a great deal of news coverage, affected the lives of many people and reflects the dilemma of determining natural resource policy based on our understanding of marine systems. This study generated base line data on student science knowledge of 4th, 8th and 11th grades on this specific issue. A representative sample of public school students (n=226) from Maine were interviewed on marine science, natural resource and decision-making concepts. Student knowledge was assessed and classified according to correct concepts, missing concepts and misconceptions. Similarities and differences between grade levels were analyzed. This research project identifies student knowledge of marine science and natural resource concepts which affect learning. It helps define the relationships among scientific knowledge, student understanding and current natural resource issues. The results will lead to the design of a curriculum for teaching natural resource decision-making based on science concepts and people's understanding and beliefs.

学生对缅因湾自然资源问题的了解

本研究确定并分析学生对当前海洋自然资源问题的科学知识。世界法院关于美国/加拿大边界的裁决获得了大量的新闻报道，影响了许多人的生活，反映了基于我们对海洋系统的理解来确定自然资源政策的困境。本研究生成了4年级、8年级和11年级学生在这个特定问题上的科学知识的基线数据。对来自缅因州的公立学校学生的代表性样本(n=226)进行了关于海洋科学、自然资源和决策概念的访谈。根据正确的概念、缺失的概念和错误的概念对学生的知识进行评估和分类。分析了年级之间的异同点。本研究计划确定学生对影响学习的海洋科学和自然资源概念的知识。它有助于定义科学知识、学生理解和当前自然资源问题之间的关系。研究结果将引导基于科学概念和人们的理解和信念的自然资源决策教学课程的设计。学生对缅因湾自然资源问题的认识
