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)
