Citations in the corpus

• College Students’ Perceptions About the Plausibility of Human-Induced Climate Change (2012, background): “Researchers have also argued that a new conception must be plausible if students are to engage in greater cognitive processing and adopt this conception as their own (Dole and Sinatra 1998; Chinn and Brewer 1993; Pintrich et al. 1993; Posner et al. 1982).”
• Promoting attitude change and expressed willingness to take action toward climate change in college students (2012, background): “Misattributing short-term weather fluctuations to long-term climate factors may result in part from the conceptual challenges of understanding deep time or the timing and relationship between geophysical events that have occurred during the Earth’s history (Dodick and Orion 2003).”
• Development and Preliminary Evaluation of the Measure of Understanding of Macroevolution: Introducing the MUM (2009, background): “Deep Time Most individuals do not comprehend deep time or have detailed knowledge of the sequence of evolutionary events over the last half billion years; they just know it is a very long period of time (Dodick & Orion, 2003b).”
• Spatial Ability and Earth Science Conceptual Understanding (2005, background): “…researchers have studied issues of scale related to Earth science, including models and astronomical distances (Dyche et al., 1993), geologic distances (Gobert and Clement,1999; Gobert, 2000), sizes of scientific objects (Tretter and James, 2003), and time (Friedman, 2000, Dodick and Orion, 2003).”
