Exploring students’ certainty of assumptions and evidence evaluation about socioscientific issue systems
An important goal of science instruction is to promote students’ understanding and evaluation of social issues related to science. Our study used the socioscientific issues (SSI) context of water conservation to explore evidence evaluation and certainty of assumptions among undergraduate students (n = 217) enrolled in a science literacy course at a research-intensive university. We investigated students’ ability to use evidence and certainty of a…
The role of urban agriculture in food-energy-water nexus policies
The growth of urban agriculture (UA) has raised the awareness of city officials and civil society organizations of its potential effects on food systems. This has led to various policies to regulate and support UA. This research characterizes existing food, energy and water (FEW nexus) policies based on policy data from five case study cities in Europe and the U.S. (Dortmund, Gorzów Wielkopolski, London, Nantes, and New York City) to analyze thei…
Instructor Challenges, Strategies, and Satisfaction in Blended Courses
Using Critical Integrative Argumentation to Assess Socioscientific Argumentation across Decision-Making Contexts
Socioscientific issues (SSI) are often used to facilitate students’ engagement in multiple scientific practices such as decision-making and argumentation, both of which are goals of STEM literacy, science literacy, and integrated STEM education. Literature often emphasizes scientific argumentation over socioscientific argumentation, which involves considering social factors in addition to scientific frameworks. Analyzing students’ socioscientific…

Differences in motivations and social impacts across urban agriculture types
Urban agriculture is an increasingly popular approach to addressing negative social and health effects of cities. Social benefits of urban agriculture include improved health and wellbeing, economic opportunities, social cohesion, and education. However, the extent to which urban agriculture participants are motivated by or experience these impacts has rarely been measured quantitatively, especially across the many different types of urban agricu…
