Student needs and perceptions of the learning environment according to high school students: A case study

The research question addressed in this study was, according to high school students, how does meeting students’ needs and honoring student voice affect the learning experience? By focusing on the learning experience within the context of students’ needs and voice, this research project aimed to understand the school experience through the student perspective and equip educators with the knowledge of practices deemed most profound in hopes of creating a classroom environment that not only enhances the learning experience, but also increases learner success. Through the collection of student surveys, interviews, and school data reports, findings indicated the average satisfaction of all deficiency, growth, and student voice needs combined is 62%. Both study results and current research indicate significant relationships between student needs and the learning experience. There is compelling evidence to suggest that increased satisfaction of student needs would lead to increased achievement

Access and allocation in earth system governance: Water and climate change compared

A significant percentage of the global population does not yet have access to safe drinking water, sufficient food or energy to live in dignity. There is a continuous struggle to allocate the earth's resources among users and uses. This article argues that distributional problems have two faces: access to basic resources or ecospace; and, the allocation of environmental resources, risks, burdens, and responsibilities for causing problems. Furthermore, addressing problems of access and allocation often requires access to social processes (science, movements and law). Analysts, however, have tended to take a narrow, disciplinary approach although an integrated conceptual approach may yield better answers. This article proposes a multi-disciplinary perspective to the problem of access and allocation and illustrates its application to water management and climate change. © The Author(s) 2010
