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
