Subject: Conceptual Understanding in Caves

 

Greetings everyone,
It was good to see and meet some of you in Houston this past week.  

I am looking for any assessment material, survey/interview/evaluation
instruments and qualitative or quantitative tools pertaining to caving:
conceptual understanding (k12 and post-secondary).  Anything that
explores a student's understanding of caves with or without any prior
caving knowledge or experience whatsoever.  

Additionally, I am trying to find anything that has been done with
students with physical disabilities (not behavioral/emotional) in
geoscience education.  

Any material or search leads would be very appreciated.  

Cheers,

Chris Atchison
