The Impact of Active Learning on Student Course Performance in STEM Varies by Type and Intensity: A Meta-Analysis
Active learning in undergraduate STEM courses boosts student achievement and narrows gaps for underrepresented students compared to traditional lecturing. This meta-analysis aims to further understand the role of active learning practices by interrogating features of the classroom context (e.g., introductory vs. upper-level courses, class size, and discipline) and active learning practices (e.g., type and intensity of active learning) that are co…
Lessons for Nature‐Based Carbon Removal: Learning From the Politics of Environmental Conservation
Climate models and policy makers suggest that in order to meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement, large‐scale deployment of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) approaches is a critical complement to aggressive decarbonization of the global economy. Recent proposed guidance from the UNFCCC suggests that nature‐based—rather than engineered—approaches to carbon removal are safer and proven. Such guidance presumes that tree‐planting and coastal restorat…
Alignment of optical backscatter measurements from the EXPORTS Northeast Pacific Field Deployment
Backscattering of light is commonly measured by ocean observing systems, including ships and autonomous platforms, and is used as a proxy for the concentration of water column constituents such as phytoplankton and particulate carbon. Multiple on-going projects involve large numbers of independent measurements of backscatter, as well as other biologically relevant parameters, to understand how biology is changing in time and space throughout the …
An operational overview of the EXport Processes in the Ocean from RemoTe Sensing (EXPORTS) Northeast Pacific field deployment
The goal of the EXport Processes in the Ocean from RemoTe Sensing (EXPORTS) field campaign is to develop a predictive understanding of the export, fate, and carbon cycle impacts of global ocean net primary production. To accomplish this goal, observations of export flux pathways, plankton community composition, food web processes, and optical, physical, and biogeochemical (BGC) properties are needed over a range of ecosystem states. Here we intro…
Active learning narrows achievement gaps for underrepresented students in undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and math
We tested the hypothesis that underrepresented students in active-learning classrooms experience narrower achievement gaps than underrepresented students in traditional lecturing classrooms, averaged across all science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields and courses. We conducted a comprehensive search for both published and unpublished studies that compared the performance of underrepresented students to their overrepresented…

Plantè vetivè konn kiltive zèb la pou yo vann rasin nan izin ki pwodwi lwil esansyèl pou pafen ak savon. Epoutan, anpil kiltivatè vetivè sa yo pa konnen kijan moun sèvi ak lwil la.

Environmental Conservation and Development: Critical Perspectives
Active learning increases student performance in science, engineering, and mathematics
Significance The President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology has called for a 33% increase in the number of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) bachelor’s degrees completed per year and recommended adoption of empirically validated teaching practices as critical to achieving that goal. The studies analyzed here document that active learning leads to increases in examination performance that would raise average g…

The Spatial Concentration of Crime
Equilibrium Income Inequality among Identical Agents
The paper offers a theory of income differences in which income inequality exists and persists despite identical tastes and talents. Teams of unskilled labor supervised by schooled managers produce goods with increasing returns to scale. Agents are assumed unable to borrow to fund the human capital investment needed to become managers. Despite ex ante identical agents, the model displays the following equilibrium phenomena: (1) risk-averse agents…
