WebED Education, Outreach and TrainingUsing Real Data for Science and Math: Examining Watershed CharacteristicsBackground Information OSC developed a set of problem-based learning exercises relating to earth science, geography, and hydrology. OSC utilizes existing watershed data to show faculty how to integrate technology into a problem-solving approach to instruction. They are working with faculty that teach these concepts to pre-service teachers and assisting them in designing a course around these materials. They are also serving as instructors and mentors on technology tools and their application to problem-based learning, modeling, and simulation. Content focuses on the use of tools and techniques to gather, analyze, and interpret data, develop descriptions, explanations, predictions, and models using the evidence, and critical thinking required by the national education standards. |
