The National Research Council advocates active science learning, stating that "Learning science is something students do, not something that is done to them.... Emphasizing active science learning means shifting emphasis away from teachers presenting information...." The goal of this proposal is to publish a guidebook and video for teachers who wish to implement innovative teaching methods to make science learning an active process in introductory geoscience, Earth systems, and geology courses. The teacher's guide and video will be based on the method of peer learning developed for introductory physics by Dr. Eric Mazur at Harvard (Mazur, 1997). In essence, the teacher presents a small amount of information, then poses a challenging conceptual question for the students to answer. Students try to convince their peers that their own answers are correct, hence the phrase peer learning. In the process, students construct explanations and communicate their ideas to others, making the classroom science experience an active one, yet providing a sense of routine and structure that is meaningful and fun for students. Teachers will be able to draw upon the extensive collection of class-tested, ready-to-use peer learning materials compiled in the teacher's guide. The video, produced with AudioVisual Instructional Services at Franklin and Marshall College, will consist of visual examples of how one can enact this peer learning approach. Because many of the concepts taught in the geosciences are so visually accessible, peer learning will is combined with in-class demonstrations. These demonstrations also will be shown in the video.

国家研究委员会提倡积极的科学学习，并指出：“学习科学是学生所做的事情，而不是对他们所做的事情。...强调主动的科学学习意味着将重点转移到向呈现信息的教师中转移的重点。...”该建议的目的是为了为了实施创新的教学方法，以使科学在入门地理学上实施创新的教学过程的教师的指南和视频。 教师指南和视频将基于哈佛大学埃里克·马祖尔（Eric Mazur）博士为入门物理学开发的同行学习方法（Mazur，1997）。从本质上讲，老师提供了少量信息，然后提出了一个具有挑战性的概念问题，让学生回答。学生试图说服同龄人自己的答案是正确的，因此短语同行学习。在此过程中，学生构建解释并将自己的想法传达给他人，使课堂科学经历了积极的体验，但具有对学生有意义和有趣的常规和结构感。 老师将能够借鉴教师指南中编写的大量课堂测试，即用的同行学习材料。该视频由富兰克林和马歇尔学院（Franklin and Marshall College）的视听教学服务制作，将由视觉示例组成，说明人们如何制定这种同行学习方法。由于地球科学中教授的许多概念在视觉上是如此易于访问，因此同行学习意愿与课堂演示相结合。这些演示也将在视频中显示。
