By interacting with professionals, students can be exposed to diverse geoscientific careers, helping them understand various professional paths and the real-world applications of their studies. Using social constructivism and critical reflection theories of learning, we designed and implemented a two-day career panel attended by ten ocean scientists in an undergraduate oceanography course for majors and non-majors. We used a qualitative, quasi-experimental design involving pre-and-post reflection data collected from the treatment group (n = 22) and control group (n = 19), and five post-treatment interviews to evaluate the effectiveness of the career panel on students’ ocean science career awareness. While the pre-reflections revealed that students in both the treatment and control groups had low awareness and knowledge about ocean science careers and practice, students in the treatment group showed improved awareness about ocean science careers and disciplines, processes of ocean science work, and the social and cultural impact of ocean science work after attending the career panel. Students in the treatment group also showed increased interest in ocean science and geosciences in general. Results indicate classroom career panel that include personal narratives, discussions, and students’ critical reflections can be effective tools to promote career awareness and interest in the geosciences. We provide implications for geoscience education such as supplementing classroom career panel with hands-on activities (e.g., job simulations), advanced organizers (e.g., worksite visits), and experiential learning opportunities (e.g., internships) as instructional tools to promote students’ career awareness.","PeriodicalId":35858,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geoscience Education","volume":"73 3","pages":"207-224"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://scholarworks.indianapolis.iu.edu/bitstreams/6e75cda0-a271-4315-9386-b6a53294158b/download","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147915553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To improve their designs, students benefit from frequent and informative feedback as they iterate. However, teacher attention may be limited or inadequate, both during COVID-19 and beyond. We present Aladdin, a web-based computer-aided design (CAD) platform for engineering design with a built-in artificial intelligence teaching assistant (AITA). We also present two curriculum units (Solar Energy Science and Solar Farm Design), where students explore the Sun-Earth relationship and optimize the energy output and yearly profit of a solar farm with the help of the AITA. We tested the software and curriculum units with over 100 students in two Midwestern high schools. Pre- and post-survey data showed improvements in understanding of science concepts and self-efficacy in engineering design. Pre-post analysis of design performance gains reveals that AI helped lower achievers more than higher achievers. Interviews revealed students' values and preferences when receiving feedback. Our findings suggest that AITAs may be helpful as an additional feedback mechanism for geoscience and engineering education. Future efforts should focus on improving the usability of the software and providing multiple types of feedback to promote inclusive and equitable use of AI in education.","PeriodicalId":35858,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geoscience Education","volume":"72 4","pages":"347-366"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147882184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
