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
0813724139, US$9.99)

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)
