9455632 Hanson The project 1) actively involves faculty, global change scholars, and people with expertise in pedagogy in the development of introductory-level, activity-based course modules on the human dimensions of global environmental change, and 2) establishes a process within the Association of American Geographers (AAG) for the development, evaluation, and dissemination of these and other active-learning modules of introductory courses. The first goal addresses the needs to a) infuse recent global change scholarship into the introductory undergraduate curriculum and b) actively involve students in the learning process. The second goal seeks to address the current absence of any formal mechanism within the discipline of geography for the sharing of teaching and learning resources among undergraduate instructors. The principal expected outcomes are modules that speak to the three broad components of global environmental change: 1) the human and physical causes or driving forces of change; 2) the environmental consequences produced by these forces; and 3) the human responses to these environmental consequences. Central to these modules are the concepts of a) how human causes, environmental impacts, and human response vary by location (geographic area), and b) how the relationships among components are affected by the spatial and temporal scales of analysis (local, regional, global; decadal, centennial, millennial respectively). The project also establishes a clearinghouse within the AAG to disseminate the modules for use in introductory courses nationwide. The modules will be available to all instructors of some 500,000 students who are enrolled in introductory geography courses annually. Once this project is completed, the AAG clearinghouse will continue to develop and disseminate activity-based undergraduate learning materials.

9455632汉森项目1）积极涉及教师，全球变革学者以及具有教学法专业知识的人，以开发有关全球环境变化人类维度的介绍级，基于活动的课程模块，以及2）在美国地理学家（AAG）协会（AAG）中建立一个过程，以开发这些介绍，并进行了这些介绍，并进行了这些介绍，并进行了这些活动，并有效地构成了这些范围。第一个目标是解决a）将最近的全球变更奖学金注入入门本科课程中的需求，b）积极参与学习过程。第二个目标旨在解决当前在地理学科中的任何正式机制，以共享本科讲师之间的教学和学习资源。 主要的预期结果是与全球环境变化的三个广泛组成部分相关的模块：1）人类和身体原因或变化的驱动力； 2）这些力量产生的环境后果； 3）人类对这些环境后果的反应。这些模块的核心是a）a）a）人类原因，环境影响和人类反应如何因位置（地理区域）而异，b）组件之间的关系如何受到分析的空间和时间范围的影响（局部，区域，全球；衰老；分别分别，百年，百年，千禧年）。 该项目还建立了AAG中的一个交换所，以在全国范围内传播用于入门课程的模块。这些模块将适用于每年参加入门地理课程的大约500,000名学生的所有讲师。该项目完成后，AAG交换所将继续开发和传播基于活动的本科学习材料。
