Changing Student Conceptions of Arid, Urban Watershed Management

Abstract: Despite the central importance of water, few students have the opportunity to study water resources management in secondary education. Even in tertiary education—unless they major in water resources or a closely related field—they are likely to receive only a week or two of instruction about water resources in introductory science courses. Typical instruction in such courses is textbook‐based, with the course instructor lecturing on a broad range of topics. Complicating this, little is known about student prec… Show more

“…The practice of collective management is supported by a wide range of capacity development efforts from local to international, that suggest management based on hydrologic boundaries rather than geopolitical ones provides greater transparency and accountability [5]. An example of the increasing breadth required with this new perspective is the new US Environmental Protection Agency requirement that cities and towns offer educational programs to help residents collaborative education, each bringing individual strengths, group learning is optimized [31]. A variety of water-resource graduate programs have emerged recently to advance this need.…”

“…Effective instruction occurs when student preconceptions are challenged to either grow or diminish in accordance with disciplinary knowledge [8,31]. However, traditional classroom environments often lack the reciprocal communication required to obtain and utilize student preconceptions [31], leaving conceptions unchanged [35]. Solutions can be found in constructivist approaches [36] in which students collectively engage in the formation of their knowledge, using the instructor as a resource.…”
