Analogical Alignment for Teaching Feedback Loops
Feedback loops are fundamental to understanding complex systems across the sciences, yet undergraduate students consistently struggle to correctly identify and distinguish positive and negative feedback loops. Traditional instructional approaches, which typically provide a definition and a single example, often fail to produce robust understanding. We tested an alternative pedagogical approach grounded in cognitive science research on analogical …
Climate Forecast Maps as a Communication and Decision-Support Tool
This paper reports an empirical study of communication issues concerning climate forecasts. Students in a professional master's degree (MPA) program in environmental science and policy participated in the study as prospective policy makers. Participants viewed a set of currently issued precipitation forecast maps, and answered questions designed to assess, in the context relevant to agricultural and environmental decision-making, their understand…
