Abstract:This study presents an 'education for sustainability' curricular model which promotes science learning in an elementary classroom through equity pedagogy. A total of 25 fourth-grade students from an urban, public school in Denver, Colorado participated in this mixed-methods study where concept maps were used as a tool for describing and assessing students' understanding of ecosystem interactions. Concept maps provide a more holistic, systems-based assessment of science learning in a sustainability curriculum. The concept maps were scored and analyzed using SPSS to investigate potential differences in learning gains of English Language Acquisition (ELA) and Gifted/Talented (GT) students. Interviews were conducted after the concept maps were administered, then transcribed and inductively coded to generate themes related to science learning. Interviews also encouraged students to explain their drawings and provided a more accurate interpretation of the concept maps. Findings revealed the difference between pre-and post-concept map scores for ELA and GT learners were not statistically significant. Students also demonstrated an increased knowledge of ecosystem interactions during interviews. Concept maps, as part of an education for sustainability curriculum, can promote equity by providing diverse learners with different-yet equally valid-outlets to express their scientific knowledge.

“…Here we are going to train the procedure of depicting a standard conceptual map based on the criteria expressed by Canas & Novak (2008(. Step 1: to prepare a conceptual map, first asking a central question is recommended. In fact, the goal is to answer the question by putting concepts next to each other.…”

IntroduçãoA interoperabilidade dos sistemas informatizados tem ampliado suas aplicações e transformado a rotina e as formas de trabalho de pessoas e organizações. Atualmente, qualquer pessoa pode criar, integrar e compartilhar informações, mídia e serviços em diferentes aplicações e reutilizar estas informações em diferentes serviços. Hoje em dia, muitas pessoas usam seus smartphones enquanto, por exemplo, realizam atividades físicas para compartilhar informações importante (tais como caminho, distância, duração e ritmo) em diferentes redes sociais. Estas mesmas informações podem ser exploradas por aplicativos que realizam, entre outras coisas, o controle de peso e a dieta dos usuários, ajudando-os no controle de obesidade. Sendo assim, uma pequena porção de informações podem ser enriquecidas pela enorme quantidade de serviços que as compartilham. Obviamente, gigantes da computação (tais como Google, Facebook e Amazon) possuem sistemas de recomendação quem se aproveitam de tais informações para oferecer produtos e serviços para o perfil do usuário.No contexto educacional, a interoperabilidade dos sistemas pode ser usada para resolver certos problemas recorrentes no ensino superior em cursos de ciência da
