GLOBE MISSION

• GLOBE is Science and Education
• GLOBE Brings Together Students, Teachers,and
  Scientists to
• - Enhance Environmental Awareness of
  Individuals Throughout the World
• - Contribute to Scientific Understanding
  of the Earth
• - Support Improved Student Achievement
  in Science and Mathematics

3

• GLOBE Science

4
GLOBE Science - Real Science (1)

• 1. Students perform REAL SCIENCE
• - gather data of naturally occurring
• - use empirical evidence as the basis
  for explanation about how the world works
• - without controlling the variables
  involved (which can not control or control
  would distort the phenomena)

5
GLOBE Science - Real Science (2) Science Value
and GLOBE Measurements

• 1. GLOBE student data are quality control to be
  used by world science community in environmental
  research
• Accuracy
• - care in taking measurement
• - good condition equipment
• - perfection in recording data, data
  entries

6
GLOBE Science - Real Science (3) Science Value
and GLOBE Measurements
Consistency - directly comparable
over time - faithful adherence to the
standard protocols - careful of changes in
methods and techniques
7
GLOBE Science - Real Science (4) Science Value
and GLOBE Measurements
Persistence - regular
observations/longer records more
valuable for looking at variation and
trends Coverage - cover whole region
enhance value of data set
8
GLOBE ScienceEarth as a System (1)
2. Student - participate in original inquiry/
real science investigations in
natural setting - recognize change
understanding interrelationships among
the factors producing these changes
9
GLOBE ScienceEarth as a System (2)
- recognize change understanding
interrelationships among the factors
producing these changes - able to
grasp key concepts of environmental science
(interdependence /adaptation
/ecosystem/cycles)
10
GLOBE ScienceEarth as a System (3)
- able to grasp key concepts of
environmental science (interdependence
/adaptation /ecosystem/cycles) -
understand Earth as a System of
interdependent and interconnected adaptive
elements and cycles (visible at
local/global level)
11

• GLOBE Education

12
GLOBE Education - GLOBE Inquiry (1)
1. GLOBE - Full Spectrum of Rational Inquiry
Process Facilitating - practice
actual rational inquiry - understanding of
rational inquiry - understanding of deeper
science concept
13
GLOBE Education - GLOBE Inquiry (2) GLOBE is much
more than data reporting
More emphasis on - analysis of data -
interpretation of relationship of
pattern/trend of data - explanation for pattern
anomaly and differences - research
questions - investigations - communication of
findings
Beyond - measurement - collecting data -
recording data - sending data
14
GLOBE Education GLOBE Value in National Science
Standard
2. GLOBE - Value in National Science Standard
Facilitating - Nature of Science
doing real science developing spirit of rational
inquiry spirit of science
15
GLOBE EducationGLOBE Value in National Science
Standard
Developing - Spirit of Science
- Longing to know and to understand -
Questioning of all things - Search for data
and their meaning - Demand for verification
- Respect for logic - Consideration of
Premises - Consideration of consequences
developing of rational thought
rational person in every area of life
16
GLOBE Education-Education Reform
Developing - Community of Learners
Group of variety of expertise
student-student collaboration
student-scientist collaboration -- learn -
scientists role model - nature of
scientific discussion
- rules of evidence student-community
collaboration -- learn - local wisdom
- real local environment
problems/involvement
Sustain a more complex inquiry
Prepare students for life outside schools
17
GLOBE Education - Assessment (1)
Student Higher Order Thinking (HOT)
interpretation/explanation/prediction/research
questions/investigations/model building...
By.. Facing students to solve open-ended
problems as scientists and scholars face
in their researches.
Eg.. www.globeassessment.sri.com
18
GLOBE Education - Assessment (2)
Students view of the importance of their GLOBE
activities
know that no perfect knowledge, no
perfect knower
view of science learning as Science in the
Making rather than as Ready Made Science
know how scientist produce science
know how to inquire to learn Earth as a System
19
GLOBE Education - Assessment (3)
Students view of the importance of their GLOBE
activities
feel good that their measurements are
important to local and world scientists and
students and to local community
sense of competence and confidence being
a self reliant learner and deep understanding
of science through inquiry
20

• GLOBE Technology

21
GLOBE Technologyfor.. GLOBE Science
1. Use computer networking for data entry/data
analysis/use of GLOBE environmental image 2. Use
Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite
receivers to locate school measurement site, so
data are useful to scientists 3. Students compare
their observations with remote sensing satellites
imagery for validation
22
GLOBE Technologyfor.. GLOBE Education (1)
1. GLOBE Web Site Further Enhance Student
- posing scientific questions -
puzzling through approach to addressing
questions - online discussion group -
collaborative investigations
23
GLOBE Technologyfor.. GLOBE Education (2)
1. GLOBE Web Site More Emphasis on
Resource Room/ Classroom Suggestion -
examples of GLOBE learning
activities/educational model - web-based
student assessment- using GLOBE to promote
environmental awareness - Inquiry
rubric
24

• GLOBE Resources

25
GLOBE Resources (1)
1. Teachers Guide - standard measurement
protocols - original inquiry and research
based learning acitvities - flexible for K-12
26
GLOBE Resources (2)
1. Equipments - promote standard measurements
for qualified data - prototype/specification 2
. Web Site - compatible with GLOBE science
and education philosophy
27
Is GLOBE worth to be adopted??
GLOBE Aims - to train real environmental
scientists? or.. - to encourage spirit of
science of mankind?
Who can train them? -gt Scientists or Educators
or Teachers?
How can .train them?
