Real-time data play an important role in science education by adding relevance to the learning experience, by enabling self-discovery and inquiry, and by providing opportunity for dialogue between students and researchers. Over the past decade, profiling floats (such as Argo) have proven to be excellent platforms for deployment of biogeochemical sensors.

New participatory courses in Marine Sciences are now a central component of the Rutgers undergraduate Marine Science curriculum. The courses use new datasets enabled by ocean observatories, in particular, the interactive exploratory capabilities of underwater gliders. The overall program is designed to increase repeated contact with students similar to the graduate experience.

Rutgers University and Liberty Science Center partnered on the broader impacts of an NSF Antarctic Sciences Division funded mission. Ross Sea Connection, which ran from the summer of 2010 to May 2011, connected mission scientists with 25 middle- and high-school earth science teachers and students who were thousands of miles apart. The project’s evaluation was designed to determine the success in bringing together scientists and educators to improve science education.

Professional learning communities (PLCs) are one model for helping improve collaboration between scientists, educators and public audiences and hold inherent value for engaging scientists in educational and outreach programming. This session discusses evaluation findings from three different education and outreach programs in California and Oregon.

Ocean Inquiry Project (OIP) — a strategic partner of COSEE-Ocean Learning Communities (COSEE-OLC) — connects ocean scientists and members of the public in deep and meaningful learning experiences, while doing rigorous, scientific data collection. In 2011 OIP sought to understand the impact of these experiences on the participating scientists.

Despite legislative initiatives to bolster Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education, U.S. students, particularly those from the Gulf Coast, and their Mexican counterparts, continue to perform poorly on international assessments. To address the need for enhanced STEM education, the Gulf of Mexico Coastal Ocean Observing System Regional Association (GCOOS-RA) is working with its data partners to develop the skills needed to understand and appreciate the science and technology required to manage the living resources of the Gulf of Mexico, make informed voting decisions, power the future work force, and compete in a global economy.

The Research Experience for Preservice Teachers Program in COSEE Florida: 2011 Results for Ocean Scientists 02.22.2013    

A focus of COSEE Florida is establishing opportunities for ocean scientists and preservice science middle grade teachers (interns) to work together on ocean science research projects. The Research Experience for Preservice Teachers (REPT) Program was launched in 2011 as a summer research experience for six preservice teachers and scientist mentor teams. Evaluation of the REPT cohort experiences examine the extent to which (1) preservice teachers increased their understanding of the nature of science, science research, and the scientific enterprise, and (2) members of the ocean scientist mentor teams sharpened their mentoring and research team management skills.

UCLA’s Marine Biology Quarter (MBQ) is an intensive, hands-on, immersion field research experience abroad for undergraduates. During the 2010 MBQ in Moorea, French Polynesia, undergraduates developed broad skills in marine ecology research, including exploring ecosystems, designing projects, scouting locations, performing fieldwork, and analyzing and interpreting data.

The North Atlantic Bloom (NAB) webinar series features the research of scientists from the 2008 NAB Experiment and focuses on key concepts in ocean science. The NAB scientists partnered with COSEE-Ocean Systems to produce the series, which includes multiple interactive concept maps, an integrated set of activities based on actual cruise data, and comprehensive presentations that upon one another for a final, cohesive program.

The Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) will reshape the way ocean science is conducted. Recent advances in the delivery of web-based education, and use of visualization technology and data visualization tools in educational contexts, have led to the development of on-line platforms for instruction that engages students in active scientific inquiry by collecting and analyzing data of real world phenomena.

The upper layers of the Canadian Basin constitute a large reservoir of freshwater and buoyancy that derives from river runoff, sea-ice meltwater, and relatively fresh North Pacific waters. We use salinity, oxygen isotopes and nutrient concentrations to study the varying contribution from freshwater components in a series of Arctic Ocean cruises between 1989 and 2005.

Scientists Mentoring Graduate Students on Research and Teaching Through COSEE Concept Mapping Collaborative Workshops 02.21.2013    

Four COSEE Centers - Ocean Systems, West, Networked Ocean World, and California - held concept mapping collaborative workshops to help scientists mentor graduate students to improve their teaching and research. Formative and summative evaluation results indicate that the workshops promoted more peer to peer interactions between faculty and graduate students and more familiarity with Ocean Literacy and Climate Literacy principles.
