Geology in the Classroom




                     If you’re an educator looking for insight and inspiration to help keep you motivated,
                     you’ll want to check out these Special Papers from GSA. Both volumes, which are
                     available for download from the GSA bookstore, explore how improved understanding
                     of how humans think and learn about the Earth can help educators prepare the next
                     generation of geoscientists.




                                         Earth and Mind: How Geologists Think and Learn about the
                                         Earth presents essays by geoscientists, cognitive scientists,
                                         and educators that explore how geoscientists learn and what
                                         the implications are for student learning. (SPE413P, 188 p., ISBN

                                         Earth and Mind II: A Synthesis of Research on Thinking and
                                         Learning in the Geosciences explores the ways in which
                                         geoscientists use the human senses and mind to perceive,
                                         analyze, and explain the workings of the earth system and
                                         how to help students master the thought processes of the
                                         geosciences. (SPE486P, 210 p., ISBN 9780813724867, US$9.99)
