For Educational Studies students, however, a well-rounded curriculum is imperative to their ability to teach a wide range of topics to their future students.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the latest interdisciplinary classes offered by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/education\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">School of Educational Studies<\/a>\u2019 is \u201cTime in socio-ecological systems: Sun, moon, clocks and contaminants.\u201d It offers non-science majors basic science knowledge they can apply not only in their careers but also in their everyday lives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The course, which had its first run in summer 2023, is the second one funded by a National Science Foundation grant and co-developed by SES faculty members Dr. Veronica Cassone McGowan and Dr. Carrie Tzou. The new five-credit course was co-taught by Cassone McGowan and guest instructors with support from SES research assistant Dr. Symone Gyles and Goodlad Institute research scientist Elizabeth Starks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of our starting points was, what are all the areas of science that elementary teachers need to teach?\u201d said Tzou, professor and director of the <a href=\"http:\/\/goodladinstitute.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Goodlad Institute for Educational Renewal<\/a>. \u201cThis course covers some of the physical and earth sciences part of that teaching.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe really need them to learn about our place in the solar system and how they function in their place in the ecosystem as well. Time was a thread that connected all of that together for us.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/09\/DSC_0740-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"People looking at maps.\" class=\"wp-image-29537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/09\/DSC_0740-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/09\/DSC_0740-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/09\/DSC_0740-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/09\/DSC_0740-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/09\/DSC_0740-2-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/09\/DSC_0740-2-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/09\/DSC_0740-2-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/09\/DSC_0740-2.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Students gather around a boulder off the campus boardwalk path, where they look at a map featuring waterlines in the greater Seattle area.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Measurements and meaning<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the key questions students explored over the nine-week course was: How do our perspectives of time guide our socio-ecological decision making?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTime, as it turns out, is a very mysterious thing,\u201d said Cassone McGowan, a lecturer and co-designer on the project. \u201cThe course title alludes to thinking about time in different perspectives &#8230; thinking about it being <em>chronos<\/em>, where it can be measured and sequential, or as <em>kairos<\/em>, meaning it\u2019s a qualitative moment or season.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also have industrial constraints around time, she added, asking \u201cwhat does it mean to have our time tracked?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students delved into the study of time from a variety of perspectives, including solar time and observations about the sun and the moon, as well as time as it relates to ecosystems here on Earth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students had a number of hands-on experiences in and out of the classroom, using natural areas around the UW Bothell campus to explore nature-culture relations and how timekeeping as a socio-ecological process can either support or disrupt them. They also learned about the impact and timeline of contaminants on humans and the environment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewbox=\"0 0 31.93 23.66\" width=\"34\">\n  <path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M19.94 23.655h11.988V12.578h-6.6a6.63 6.63 0 0 1 .662-3.486 8.55 8.55 0 0 1 5.721-4.722V.001a14.8 14.8 0 0 0-8.687 4.768q-3.089 3.606-3.089 9.994v8.893Zm-19.938 0H11.99V12.578h-6.6a7.5 7.5 0 0 1 .631-3.575q1.47-3.277 5.763-4.633V.001a14.54 14.54 0 0 0-8.771 4.788c-2 2.427-3.008 5.781-3.008 9.974Z\"><\/path>\n<\/svg><p>Time, as it turns out, is a very mysterious thing.

There are other ways of thinking about the world that don\u2019t often get taught.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another key challenge included in the course was learning about how to engage with data itself \u2014 understanding how it is collected and interpreted as well as how this can be used to make ethical decisions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat we build everything on is that science is not neutral,\u201d Starks said. \u201cWe think of ourselves as apart from nature, but we are actually <em>a part<\/em> of nature.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Interdisciplinary approach<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Work on this course began in January 2022, with the project team meeting to share readings and to discuss their vision for framing the course, its core principles and curriculum.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the highlights of this design process, said Tzou, was working so closely across academic disciplines. \u201cThe collaboration with amazing colleagues across units \u2014 where we are doing some very powerful learning together that we can then take back to our own practice \u2014 has been really transformative.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI thought I knew what it meant to teach science expansively, and this is just deconstructing everything that I thought I knew,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m having as much fun as the students learning science in new ways.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the class was created with Educational Studies majors in mind, it is open to all UW Bothell students, fulfilling both natural science and diversity graduation requirements. \u201cWe hope this class appeals to a broader audience of students who just want to learn science differently,\u201d Tzou said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the course, students themselves also get the chance to learn from guest lecturers such Dr. Amy Lambert, associate teaching professor in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/ias\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">School of Interdisciplinary Arts &amp; Sciences<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/stem\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">School of STEM<\/a>\u2019s Dr. Charity Lovitt, associate teaching professor, and Dr. Rachel Scherr, assistant professor, who each taught modules specific to their areas of expertise.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\"

continue to develop this new course about time and socio-ecological systems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help see how the lessons might be improved, the project team videorecorded some of the summer class sessions. \u201cIt\u2019s an iterative design process,\u201d Starks said. \u201cWe\u2019ll go through everything and think about how it was received and change our trajectory a little bit for the next run of the class.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The course was also adapted in real time as the team met regularly during the summer to discuss what was working and what wasn\u2019t, to review survey responses from students.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re really doing these moment-to-moment changes, and I think the research aspect of it helps us as we try to look at the big picture later on,\u201d Gyles said. \u201cIt\u2019s nice having so many people and researchers on this project because we all have our own perspectives and ways of seeing that we bring into the space, while also having a shared foundation morally, ethically and pedagogically.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much of this new course is informed from the first course developed for the project, called \u201cScience and engineering for a more just and equitable world.\u201d It focused on ethical engineering and gender-inclusive biology, and included Dr. Bryan White, teaching professor in the School of STEM and another principal investigator on the NSF project, as a guest lecturer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Expanding access<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, the project team will develop the two courses into workshops for practicing teachers and create an online version of the courses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re also really interested in how this can translate into a community college setting because of our student demographic here,\u201d Tzou said. \u201cMany of our students come in as transfer students, and they would take these prerequisite courses at the community college level.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll continue to iterate on these courses,\u201d she said, \u201cand then add those other layers to the project to continue reaching a broader student body.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\"
