    Description

    This Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) project has developed, implemented, and evaluated a series of innovative Socio-Environmental Science Investigations (SESI) using a geospatial curriculum approach. It is targeted for economically disadvantaged 9th grade high school students in Allentown, PA, and involves hands-on geospatial technology to help develop STEM-related skills. SESI focuses on societal issues related to environmental science. These issues are multi-disciplinary, involve decision-making that is based on the analysis of merged scientific and sociological data, and have direct implications for the social agency and equity milieu faced by these and other school students. This project employed a design partnership between Lehigh University natural science, social science, and education professors, high school science and social studies teachers, and STEM professionals in the local community to develop geospatial investigations with Web-based Geographic Information Systems (GIS). These were designed to provide students with geospatial skills, career awareness, and motivation to pursue appropriate education pathways for STEM-related occupations, in addition to building a more geographically and scientifically literate citizenry. The learning activities provide opportunities for students to collaborate, seek evidence, problem-solve, master technology, develop geospatial thinking and reasoning skills, and practice communication skills that are essential for the STEM workplace and beyond. Despite the accelerating growth in geospatial industries and congruence across STEM, few school-based programs integrate geospatial technology within their curricula, and even fewer are designed to promote interest and aspiration in the STEM-related occupations that will maintain American prominence in science and technology. The SESI project is based on a transformative curriculum approach for geospatial learning using Web GIS to develop STEM-related skills and promote STEM-related career interest in students who are traditionally underrepresented in STEM-related fields. This project attends to a significant challenge in STEM education: the recognized deficiency in quality locally-based and relevant high school curriculum for under-represented students that focuses on local social issues related to the environment. Environmental issues have great societal relevance, and because many environmental problems have a disproportionate impact on underrepresented and disadvantaged groups, they provide a compelling subject of study for students from these groups in developing STEM-related skills. Once piloted in the relatively challenging environment of an urban school with many unengaged learners, the results will be readily transferable to any school district to enhance geospatial reasoning skills nationally.

    Description

    Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology allows users to make maps and analyze data. Savvy educators have been using GIS since the early 1990s, but online GIS makes it easy for educators to get started quickly, even just learning on their own, online. Here is a sequenced set of resources and activities with which to begin; they start fast and easy, scaffold ideas and skills, and generally take more time and require more background as one progresses, so items should be experienced in order.

    Description

    According to many previous studies, application of remote sensing for the complex and heterogeneous urban environments in Sub-Saharan African countries is challenging due to the spectral confusion among features caused by diversity of construction materials. Resorting to classification based on spectral indices that are expected to better highlight features of interest and to be prone to unsupervised classification, this study aims (1) to evaluate the effectiveness of index-based classification for Land Use Land Cover (LULC) using an unsupervised machine learning algorithm Product Quantized K-means (PQk-means); and (2) to monitor the urban expansion of Luanda, the capital city of Angola in a Logistic Regression Model (LRM). Comparison with state-of-the-art algorithms shows that unsupervised classification by means of spectral indices is effective for the study area and can be used for further studies. The built-up area of Luanda has increased from 94.5 km2 in 2000 to 198.3 km2 in 2008 and to 468.4 km2 in 2018, mainly driven by the proximity to the already established residential areas and to the main roads as confirmed by the logistic regression analysis. The generated probability maps show high probability of urban growth in the areas where government had defined housing programs.

    Description

    Abstract

    The Master List of Schools is a record of all schools in South Africa. The data forms part of the national Education Management Information Systems (EMIS) database used to inform education policymakers and managers in the Department of Basic Education (DBE) and the Provincial education departments, as well as to provide valuable information to external stakeholders. The list is maintained by provincial departments and regularly sent to DBE for updating. A key function of the master list is to uniquely identify each school in the country through a school identifier called the EMIS number. Additionally, the list contains data on school quintiles - categories (quintiles) based on the socioeconomic status of the community in which the school is situated. Analyses comparing schools' performance often use school quintiles as control measures for socioeconomic status, to take into account the effect of, for example, poor infrastructure, shortage of materials and deprived home backgrounds on school performance. There are also other basic data fields in the school master list that could provide the means to answer some of the most frequently asked questions about learner enrolment, teachers and learner-teacher ratio of schools. It is a useful dataset for education planners and researchers and is even widely used in the private sector by those who regularly deal with schools.

    Other

    Research instrument

    Data from the SNAP survey and ANA that are used to compile the Master List of Schools is collected with a survey questionnaire and educator forms. The principle completes the survey questionnaire and each educator (both state paid and other) in each school completes an educator form. Schools record their EMIS number provided by the DBE on the questionnaire and form for identification.

    Data appraisal

    The 2023 series only includes data for quarter 2 and quarter 3. The GIS coordinates for schools in the Eastern Cape are incorrectly entered in the original data from the DBE. The data entered in the GIS_long variable is incorrectly entered into the GIS_lat variable. This issue only occurs for schools in the Eastern Cape (EC), all other GIS coordinates for all the other provinces is correct. Therefore, for geospatial analysis, users can swap the GIS coordiate data only for the Eastern Cape.

    Description

    In response to the growing concern in geographic information science, which pertains to utilizing contemporary internet technology to communicate past information or knowledge for establishing foundations in geography. Recent studies have investigated geomatics solutions for historical city, and enhancing GIS skills through collaborative approach. In this study, we build upon prior research by exploring how the implementation of current technology can promote a cooperative learning environment, particularly within the realm of forestry education. Minetest, the 3D voxel game engine has high capability of modification, for visualizing natural environments and urban structures. The goal of this study was to investigate the potential of using the game engine for forestry education purposes. To meet this objective, we developed precise and detailed models of building structures and their surrounding environment. We also explored the visualization beyond 3D geospatial data, by generating analytical results of solar radiation on building roofs using GIS software. The visualization process was facilitated by the use of 3D light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data, provided by the UBC Campus + Community Planning department. The proposed approach proved to be effective in producing compatible geospatial data for visualization in the game engine. We also conducted exploratory statistical analysis to examine the relationship between building energy usage and solar radiation. The exploratory regression result of the solar radiation analysis has an R2adj of 0.19, which indicates its insignificant impact on building energy usage. Finally, the findings of this research provide a foundation for future studies that can continue to explore the potential of using 3D game engines.

    Description

    This dataset is from a master's group thesis project at The Bren School of Environmental Science & Management at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and contains the data files from the analyses (see below for the associated dataset containing the full final written report, which will provide more information on methods and results). The graduate student researchers who completed this project include: Tess Hooper, Daphne Virlar-Knight, Priscilla Hare, Robert Heim, and Jessica Gomez. This project, titled "Managing the Impacts of Environmental Education on Nature Preserves", focused on analyzing the potential ecological impacts that environmental education programming may have on sensitive plant and wildlife species on the Dangermond Preserve. Through mapping areas with sensitive plant and wildlife habitat, the group ranked environmental education trails on the preserve based on ecological impact. They also created a management tool that The Nature Conservancy can use to select trails that provide educational opportunities while reducing impacts to native biodiversity. Notably, the data indicates that all 12 education trails on the preserve pass through areas of low and high ecological impact, and that the best trail depends on each school group’s needs and The Nature Conservancy’s conservation goals. This project intends to help The Nature Conservancy manage its education programs on the Dangermond Preserve, and offers an approach that other land managers can use to inform decisions about balancing the trade-offs of environmental education in biologically diverse areas. The raw data used in the spatial analyses came from The Nature Conservancy and the following open source databases: 1. California Wildlife Habitat Relationship Systems 2. State Soil Geographic (STATSGO2) Data Base for California 3. 2014 California Basin Characteristic Model Downscaled Climate and Hydrology (30-year summaries) 4. Consortium of California Herbaria The project began in April 2019 and ended in June 2020.

Description

This Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) project has developed, implemented, and evaluated a series of innovative Socio-Environmental Science Investigations (SESI) using a geospatial curriculum approach. It is targeted for economically disadvantaged 9th grade high school students in Allentown, PA, and involves hands-on geospatial technology to help develop STEM-related skills. SESI focuses on societal issues related to environmental science. These issues are multi-disciplinary, involve decision-making that is based on the analysis of merged scientific and sociological data, and have direct implications for the social agency and equity milieu faced by these and other school students. This project employed a design partnership between Lehigh University natural science, social science, and education professors, high school science and social studies teachers, and STEM professionals in the local community to develop geospatial investigations with Web-based Geographic Information Systems (GIS). These were designed to provide students with geospatial skills, career awareness, and motivation to pursue appropriate education pathways for STEM-related occupations, in addition to building a more geographically and scientifically literate citizenry. The learning activities provide opportunities for students to collaborate, seek evidence, problem-solve, master technology, develop geospatial thinking and reasoning skills, and practice communication skills that are essential for the STEM workplace and beyond. Despite the accelerating growth in geospatial industries and congruence across STEM, few school-based programs integrate geospatial technology within their curricula, and even fewer are designed to promote interest and aspiration in the STEM-related occupations that will maintain American prominence in science and technology. The SESI project is based on a transformative curriculum approach for geospatial learning using Web GIS to develop STEM-related skills and promote STEM-related career interest in students who are traditionally underrepresented in STEM-related fields. This project attends to a significant challenge in STEM education: the recognized deficiency in quality locally-based and relevant high school curriculum for under-represented students that focuses on local social issues related to the environment. Environmental issues have great societal relevance, and because many environmental problems have a disproportionate impact on underrepresented and disadvantaged groups, they provide a compelling subject of study for students from these groups in developing STEM-related skills. Once piloted in the relatively challenging environment of an urban school with many unengaged learners, the results will be readily transferable to any school district to enhance geospatial reasoning skills nationally.
