Today I am excited to share a guest post Sarah Ruth Schmid, PhD student in geodidactics at the University of Oslo, in preparation of an iEarth journal club. Here it goes:

My most faithful guest blogger Kirsty writes about why things that are far outside of our direct experience are so hard to imagine and thus so hard to understand (and teach).

New super interesting guest post by Kirsty Dunnett, on playful higher education!

My most loyal guest poster strikes again! Welcome Kirsty Dunnett, today writing about Galløe (2023)’s chapter on how emotions differentiate opportunities.

Welcome to a new guest post by my most loyal guest blogger, Kirsty Dunnett, on odd experiences with peer review and generative AI which, in combination, provoke a lot of questions. Enter Kirsty:

“Motivation is left, right and centre in learning. Self Determination Theory’s (SDT) is one of the main  theories of motivation, and its two founders, Ryan and Deci, are number 6 and 16, respectively, on the list of the most cited researchers in the world. (They have a staggering 1 148 467 citations between them as […]

I thought a lot, and wrote (e.g. here), about my positionality in relation to my work recently, inspired by conversations with, and nudging by, Kirsty. Below, I am posting her response to my blog post, where she shares her reflections on her own positionality and also on why and how we need to be careful with […]

Below, Kirsty is discussing how it can potentially discourage efforts to improve teaching and teachers when we focus on the strength of evidence too much, and don’t value the developmental process itself enough. Definitely worth reading! :-)

Kirsty sent me this super interesting text with a vision of Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) being a collective enterprise, rather than a mostly individual one. I love the vision and am excited to repost below!

Another guest post by Kirsty Dunnett about the difficulty of applying skills from a maths course in the context of geoscience courses, and what can be done to make it easier. Thanks for writing, Kirsty :-)

Haha, I ended my post this morning with “…but at that point I lost interest”, and apparently that’s a great call to action! Kirsty Dunnett, faithful guest blogger on my blog, volunteered to send me the summary of what I had missed! Thanks for sharing, Kirsty, the floor is yours:

Who are you travelling with? A guest post by Kirsty Dunnett. A summary and some thoughts on: Supporting students in higher education: proposal for a theoretical framework By J.-M. De Ketele (Université de Louvain, Belgium)

Chris Bore is one of the most loyal readers of my blog and has been for a long time, and now he wrote a beautiful post about #WaveWatching over on his own blog, and gave me permission to repost here. Thank you for loving #WaveWatching as much as I do, Chris! A few years back […]

Yay, another guest post by Kirsty! Here we go:

I got permission to publish Kjersti Daae‘s iEarth conversation on teaching (with Torgny Roxå and myself in April 2021) on my blog! Thanks, Kjersti :-) Here we go: I teach in an introductory course in meteorology and oceanography (GEOF105) at the geophysical institute, UiB. The students come from two different study programs: BSc in climate, […]

Super excited to share a guest post today: Felipe is writing about his recent #WaveWatching article on “Evaluating shallow water waves by observing Mach cones on the beach”. I came across this article and was going to write a summary, but how much cooler is it to hear from Felipe himself? Thank you for being here! […]

Last week, I wrote about increasing inquiry in lab-based courses and mentioned that it was Kirsty who had inspired me to think about this in a new-to-me way. For several years, Kirsty has been working on developing practical work, and a central part of that has been finding out the types and amount of experiences incoming students […]

Today’s guest blogger Jeannette and I “met” on Twitter when she reposted one of my 24 Days of #KitchenOceanography posts, saying “A friend just forwarded me a #kitchenoceanography experiment that pretty much sums up my MSc work minus all the math.”. So I — obviously — asked her to write a guest post, and here we […]

My friend Alice runs a really interesting Instagram account that I love following. She posts about being a PhD student in physics didactics, does #experimentalfriday (which you might remember from her recent guest post on my blog), gives helpful advice for mental health topics and takes beautiful pictures. Check it out — @scied_alice. A couple of […]

My friend Alice Langhans runs a super cool science communication Instagram (@edu_al_ice), where she posts about her experiences as PhD student in physics education research. And there is a lot more going on on that Instagram than just pretty (but oh so pretty!) pictures. I make sure to read all her posts, because there are always […]

“Hei Mirjam. Bergen had it’s two days of allocated summer during the weekend of 22 – 23 July 2017 and Elsa and I decided to – in true Norwegian style – take advantage of the rare occasion and go for a hike. A colleague of mine has a “hytte” near Langhelle and had invited us […]

Von Carolin und Marie Am heutigen Tage wurden auch das Salz, die Dichte und die Wellen endgültig überführt. Das, was jetzt noch alles abschließt, ist die morgige Gerichtsverhandlung. Darauf haben sich alle Detektive genauestens vorbereitet und sie haben sich überlegt, wer welche Beweise im Gerichtssaal vorstellt. Genauere Details werden aber Morgen noch geklärt. Die Salzüberführung […]

Von Carolin und Marie Heute haben sich die Lehrlinge gegenseitig ihre beantworteten Fragen vorgestellt. Vollständig überführt wurden zurzeit das Klima und die Strömungen, die Gezeiten und das Eis. Beim Salz und der Dichte, sowie bei den Wellen, sind noch einige wenige Fragen zu klären. Die Übrigen Lehrlinge beantworten nun einige Fragen, denen kein Täter zuzuordnen […]

Von Carolin (12) und Marie (13) Am heutigen Tage wurden die gesammelten Hinweise genauestens dokumentiert. Dann begannen die Lehrlinge ihren Tätern weiter auf die Schliche zu kommen. Es wurde getestet, ob der Täter Welle ein Problem mit Steinstränden hat. Der Täter Gezeiten wurde auf die Verteilung des Meeresgrundes geprüft. Den Strömungen wurde nachgewiesen, dass ihr […]

Von Carolin (12) und Marie (13) Heute war der Tag der Tage: Die Detektive sind mit dem Forschungsschiff Uthörn zum Tatort gereist. Zuerst mussten die Lehrlinge sehr früh aufstehen und dann mit dem Bus zum Hafen fahren. Dort sind sie auf das Forschungsschiff gegangen und die Matrosen haben ihnen die Sicherheitsregeln noch einmal vor Ort […]

  Von Carolin (12) und Marie (13)   Am heutigen Tage waren die Lehrlinge wieder besonders fleißig, denn sie mussten sich auf die spektakuläre Reise zum Tatort vorbereiten. Doch bevor dieses geschah, haben sie noch eifrig Indizien gesammelt. Die Gruppe, die sich mit dem Täter Eis befasste, hat die Dauer der Tat festgestellt. Der Täter Strömungen wurde […]

Von Carolin (12) und Marie (13) Heute sind die Detektivlehrlinge schon mitten in der Planung der Experimente, aber Meisterdetektivin Glessmer erklärt vorher noch, wie sie ein Experiment vorbereiten und durchführen sollen. Die erste Gruppe, die ein Experiment durchführt, glaubt, somit die Strömungen und das Klima zu überführen. Sie planen alles nach dem Prinzip von Detektivin Glessmer und […]

Mission Ozeanographie Von Carolin (12) und Marie (13) Tag 1 Die Meisterdetektive Käse, Vogt und Glessmer wollen 17 neue Lehrlinge in 8 Tagen das Detektivleben im Hauptfall Ozean näherbringen. Kaum sind sie da, werden neue Fälle gemeldet: Der Ozean hat schon wieder sein Unwesen getrieben und einige Fragen sind noch ungeklärt. Die Detektive teilen sich in fünf […]

Exciting guest post on a newly published paper by Angelika H. H. Renner. I’ve met Angelika on a cruise in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current a long time ago where we worked on an instrument together and created an advent calendar to keep up everybody’s morale during the second month of the cruise before flying home on christmas eve, […]

More bad weather in Hamburg. Today I have the pleasure to announce a guest post by Torge Martin. Torge, together with J&J, came to visit Hamburg recently, and we got stuck in some pretty bad weather. Which, being the oceanographers and meteorologists we are, meant that we got very excited, took about 100 pictures each, […]

Guest post by Kristin Richter! Today I’m excited to bring to you a guest post from Innsbruck, Austria, written by my friend Kristin Richter. Kristin ran the oceanography lab in Bergen before I took over, and she is a total enabler when it comes to deciding between playing with water, ice and food dye, or doing “real” […]
