2020 journal article

A multi-institutional study of inquiry-based lab activities using the Augmented Reality Sandbox: impacts on undergraduate student learning

JOURNAL OF GEOGRAPHY IN HIGHER EDUCATION, 44(1), 85–107.

By: K. McNeal*, K. Ryker *, S. Whitmeyer*, S. Giorgis *, R. Atkins n, N. LaDue *, C. Clark*, N. Soltis*, T. Pingel *

author keywords: Visualization; spatial thinking; mixed reality; topographic maps; pedagogy
TL;DR: Of the groups that used the Sandbox, students with low and high scores on the mental rotation test performed best on the TMA following the structured treatment, and regression analysis showed two factors significantly predicted performance on theTMA, including spatial performance and self-assessed knowledge of topographic maps.

Exploring Differences Among Student Populations During Climate Graph Reading Tasks: An Eye Tracking Study

JOURNAL OF ASTRONOMY AND EARTH SCIENCES EDUCATION, 5(2), 85–114.

By: R. Atkins n & K. McNeal*

author keywords: Geoscience Education Research; Geocognition; Eye-Tracking; Graph Reading
TL;DR: Eye-tracking metrics of geoscience graduate students and novice undergraduate students while viewing graphs displaying climate information indicate that during fact-extraction tasks, novice undergraduates focus proportionally more attention on the question, title and axes graph elements, whereas geos science graduate students spend proportionally less time viewing and interpreting data.
