| Abstract: | We report Design-Based Implementation Research (DBIR) on a year-long project-based AP Environmental Science curriculum in 11 classrooms in two urban districts. We report its impact on students' engagement, practice-linked identities as environmental citizens and performance on a complex transfer task. Results from the initial design-redesign phase in a suburban district were replicated. Implementation data provided new information about how two design features (positioning students as change agents in their own lives and gradually widening from local to global issues) contributed to engagement and identity development. |
