Oct 1, 2019 · The purpose of this study is to document how a science-based college class can change student opinions about water resource issues including water quality, water quantity, and drinking water. This is important because students taking these types of courses are tomorrow's decision makers.

Analysis of students’ Pre-tests, Post-tests, and gain scores show students’ Pre-test and gain scores varied across years while their Post-test scores were relatively consistent (Fig. 1). For the Pre-test, the Post-test, and the gain scores, the effect of year was statistically significant (Table 3). We observed that across all five years, students ...
Analysis of the modeling assignment show that students’ use scores for the Water Balance Model (WBM) between 2017, 2018, 2019 , and 2020 were relatively similar, as shown in Fig. 2 and Table 8. However, the 2021 group, F (4,290) = 18.43, p = 0.00, exhibited statistically significant differences with the previous years at p=.008. Students in this gr...
In general, the analysis of the mid-semester course evaluation showed that the effect of year on student evaluation score was statistically significant, F (3,252) = 5.73, p = .000. The mean differences between 2020 and 2021 were statistically significant at p = .008. No other statistically significant differences were found. In this sense, it is po...
Oct 4, 2022 · Water-related issues such as high turbidity are ubiquitous problems facing communities. This study specifically explored how project-based learning can be harnessed to enhance STEM students’ critical thinking skills using water treatment activities.
Jan 1, 2019 · Water literacy has been positively correlated with education level and water‐related experiences in adults, but less is known about water literacy in college students.
During spring of 2008, we started working with six classes, a total of about 104 students, between 14 and 15 years old. The scenario regarded water supply with the aim to treat the module concerning hydrosphere, water in natural and human systems and the socio-environmental related problems.
