Methodologies
Surveys
Weaknesses
-
-
-Might be difficult for students to get enough respondents to represent all the possibilities of the independent variable (my students often have difficulty finding people outside of their age group and background to survey)
-
-
Laboratory Work
Strengths
-
-Similar to field work, provides good exposure to hands-on primary data collection
Weaknesses
-
-
-
-Some places might have local regulations the hinder some lab work. For example, Bunsen burners are not allowed to be used in high schools in China
Ecosystem Modeling
Weaknesses
-Due to the complexity of the system, some bias from the system modeler might arise in the form on what they choose to represent or not represent in their model
-Students might find difficulty in manipulating the mathematical equations that underlie some parts of ecosystem modeling
-Some models, while accurate, might be overly complex for the average person to understand.
-
Fieldwork
-
Disadvantages
-
-Appropriate sites for field work may be difficult to find or access for schools located in urban centers
-
-Schools/teachers might not be inclined to take students off campus due to unpredictable local COVID policies.
