Temperature increases mediated through climate change threaten the survival of species. It is of foremost importance to engage citizens and future generations in understanding the mechanisms through which temperatures impose their effects. For educators, this is not straightforward, as tools for examining the impact of temperature over the lifetime of an animal are prohibitively expensive. At the same time, environmental educators need guidance on the appropriate study systems to use with a balance between the species having an obvious response and ensuring the outcomes are ethical and sustainable. In our study, we created and tested a cost-effective experiment meant to be used for environmental education purposes. More specifically, we tested the sensitivity of the painted lady butterfly Vanessa cardui to temperature variations using a homemade incubator. We describe the design of this experiment and report findings on survival rate, morphological variations, development time of various stages and wingspan of adults across a range of biologically relevant temperatures. The information provided gives educators options for testing a variety of hypotheses with regards to the impacts of temperature using an affordable and flexible set-up. Furthermore, the findings can be used by students to develop an understanding of the ramifications of the butterflies’ responses in an ecological context.

Temperature increases mediated through climate change threaten the survival of species. It is of foremost importance to engage citizens and future generations in understanding the mechanisms through which temperatures imposes its affect. For educators though this is not straight forward as tools for examined the impact of temperature over the lifetime of an animal are prohibitively expensive. At the same time environmental educators need guidance on the appropriate study systems to use with a balance between the species having an obvious response and ensuring the outcomes are ethical and sustainable. In our study, we created and tested a cost-effective experiment meant to be used for environmental education purposes. More specifically, we tested the sensitivity of the Painted lady butterfly Vanessa cardui to temperature variations using a homemade incubator. We describe the design of this experiment and report findings on survival rate, morphological variations, pupation time, and wingspan of adults across a range of biologically relevant temperatures. The information provided give educators options for testing a variety of hypotheses with regards to the impacts of temperature using an affordable and flexible set-up. Furthermore, the findings can be used by students to develop an understanding of the ramifications of the butterflies responses in an ecological context.

“…Affective learning refers to how students feel while they are learning and how they internalize learning experiences aimed at attitude development and value formation (Miller, 2005). Affective learning requires teachers to be aware of the personal meaning that a learning experience has for the students and of what that means for the teacher in terms of teaching (van Manen, 2016), and is generally recognized as having crucial importance when developing students' personal and professional values (Gano-Phillips, 2009). Affective learning is often offered to higher vocational students in a cognitive way, as information-providing communicative acts in which attention is primarily paid to the external, visible and discussable side of affect (e.g., Gertsen et al, 2017Gertsen et al, , 2022Van Stekelenburg et al, 2020.…”

Learning to become aware of one's own values to be able to cope with value conflicts is an important part of a higher vocational education curriculum. Higher vocational education teachers are used to offering cognitive learning experiences to students to teach them how to deal with value conflicts, disregarding the affective aspect of values. In this qualitative study, we argue that inter‐affective learning experiences are needed to encourage students to deal with value conflicts through affective involvement. We had two research questions: (1) How do teachers and students reflect on an inter‐affective learning experience that aims to promote interactive affective sharing of a value conflict? and (2) What should characterize guidance for inter‐affective learning experiences aimed at promoting interactive affective sharing of a value conflict? The research was carried out at a Dutch University of Applied Science offering higher vocational education programs. Four groups of teachers and two groups of students participated in an inter‐affective learning experience about a value conflict, followed by a focus group discussion on the experience with group members. Teachers and students agreed that they need support in learning to sense their own experience of inner feelings. The reflections led to recommendations for guiding students' inter‐affective learning experiences to encourage affective involvement in a value conflict.
