The results of questionnaire surveys and focus groups carried out with students as part of this project suggest that students often struggle to put their environmental principles into practice. Although GEES students see environmental matters as the most important issues in the world today, they may be less likely to take part in environmental practices than students studying non-GEES subjects.","PeriodicalId":85255,"journal":{"name":"People & the planet","volume":"31 1","pages":"20 - 26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73643517","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}

The development and deployment of a series of computer-generated simulations and video-based animations as part of a second year undergraduate sedimentology course within a Geology degree programme has been effective in addressing these issues. Implementation of these resources within a series of student-led practical exercises and self-learning revision tools is shown to be a powerful teaching tool for demonstrating how large scale sedimentary environments evolve over space and time and how their deposits become preserved in the rock record. Undergraduate performances in class tests show the beneficial impact these resources are having in improving student understanding and the quality of the learning experience.","PeriodicalId":85255,"journal":{"name":"People & the planet","volume":"97 1","pages":"72 - 77"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78569535","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}

Student Learning in Geography, Earth & Environmental Sciences” (http://www.gees.ac.uk/ events/2006/ac06/ac06.htm). The purpose of the event was to consider key concepts, student misconceptions, and bottlenecks in learning in higher education and, in particular, it explored the notion of ‘Threshold Concepts’. Threshold Concepts are those key ideas in a discipline that offer the learner a gateway to new ways of thinking (Meyer & Land, 2003). Whilst the learner is developing their understanding of a threshold concept, they may fi nd themselves temporarily stuck in a ‘state of liminality’ (literally ‘on the threshold’) where their grasp of the concept may be limited or confused with other (mis)conceptions. Meyer and Land suggest that threshold concepts can be characterised in the following ways:","PeriodicalId":85255,"journal":{"name":"People & the planet","volume":"99 1","pages":"80 - 84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81039686","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}

The research examined the understandings, practices, future plans and barriers to employer engagement of individuals and departments.

Most departments valued their interactions with employers. There was a sense that this was an area of growing importance. However, staff indicated the need for greater support and guidance to help them develop these new relationships. Some differences in employer relations were noted, with Earth science having a more established tradition of employer engagement and environmental science appearing to be in a phase of development and innovation.","PeriodicalId":85255,"journal":{"name":"People & the planet","volume":"9 1","pages":"10 - 3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74401909","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}

As university courses have changed in recent years, we have adapted our approach to the recruitment and retention of our employees. The quantity of graduates, and particularly postgraduates, has reduced in disciplines such as geoscience. In addition, the quality of the core technical skills of those recruited is ‘worse’ than in the past. Roles where postgraduates were applying now attract graduates that we have to develop ourselves. We have established a series of technical development frameworks to assess our staff capabilities. This has highlighted areas for development and associated programmes of training and mentoring have evolved. We are focussing future workforce plans on the development and retention of critical skills. Professional body endorsement plays an important part in our work.

The practice is evaluated through the case study of a specialist postgraduate module in Environmental Management Systems (EMS) at the University of Southampton. The pedagogical approach is discussed, along with an analysis of the key learning and employability outcomes. The case study demonstrates the viability of developing a specialist employability profile, with a focus on relevant practical experience through a single module, whilst also enhancing core employability skills. Although the process and outcomes relate to a single specialist module approach, many of the findings are applicable across the range of approaches for embedding employability and employer engagement into the GEES curriculum.","PeriodicalId":85255,"journal":{"name":"People & the planet","volume":"1 1","pages":"47 - 52"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76514067","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}
