Subject: COV session 3.10 call for abstracts - Pedagogy of volcanology
************************************************************************************************************
Dear all,
We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the session dedicated to the didactics of volcanology within the Symposium 3 [enhancing preparedness and resilience] at the conference 'Cities on Volcanoes 10' held in Naples (Italy) on 2-7 of September 2018 (www.citiesonvolcanoes10.com).
Session 3.10: Pedagogy of Volcanology
Convenors: Guido Giordano (Università Roma Tre), Rosella Nave (INGV-OV), Nobuo Geshi (Japan Geological Survey), Takeshi Nishimura (Tohoku University)
Topic: Public knowledge and perception of volcanoes and their hazards and resources are largely shaped by the interplay between the background education of individuals, built during mostly the primary and secondary school cycles, and casual or curiosity-driven exposure to media via documentary channels and news. Few persons then follow Earth Science tertiary education and may deepen their education in volcanology, and even less are the passionate who take a PhD in volcanology and then may become professional or academic. Unlike other disciplines like Math or Physics, there has been little to no attention to the pedagogy of volcanology, which is reflected in very poor feedbacks between the academia and the ministries of education in most of the countries. The outcome is the often very superficial or even incorrect background education in volcanology which makes it difficult to convey complex information at the time of the crises but even during repose time. We encourage here a multidisciplinary discussion about experiences in pedagogy of volcanology at any level (primary, secondary, tertiary education) with the aim of stimulating the scientific community to the development of this aspect in the future.
This session is proposed under the auspices of AIV (Italian Association of Volcanology) and of Japan Volcanological Society
Please note the deadline to submit abstracts is 10th May 2018
