Kuyambitsa: Community Ocean Engagement Global Initiative

Chimodzi mwazinthu zomwe ndimakumbukira zakale zomwe ndimachita nawo maphunziro apanyanja chinali msasa wa giredi XNUMX ku Catalina Island Marine Institute, sukulu yakunja ya STEM yomwe imapereka maphunziro a sayansi ya m'madzi kwa ophunzira a pulayimale, apakati, ndi kusekondale. 

Mwayi wopita kuchilumba ndi anzanga a m'kalasi ndi aphunzitsi - ndi kutenga nawo mbali m'ma laboratories a sayansi, kukwera kwa chilengedwe, kukwera panyanja usiku, kuthamanga kwa madzi, ndi zochitika zina - zinali zosaiŵalika, komanso zovuta, zosangalatsa, ndi zina. Ndikukhulupirira kuti apa ndipamene chidziwitso changa chophunzira zam'madzi chinayamba kukula.

M'zaka zaposachedwa, kusiyanasiyana kwapadziko lonse lapansi chifukwa cha mliri wa COVID-19, kusintha kwanyengo, ndi zovuta zina zabweretsa kusagwirizana komwe kwakhala kulipo mdera lathu. Maphunziro apanyanja ndi chimodzimodzi. Kafukufuku wasonyeza mwayi wodziwa kulemba ndi kuwerenga za m'nyanja monga gawo la maphunziro komanso njira zogwirira ntchito zakhala zosagwirizana. Makamaka kwa anthu amtundu wamba ndi ochepa.

Bungwe la Community Ocean Engagement Global Initiative

Tikufuna kuwonetsetsa kuti gulu la maphunziro apanyanja likuwonetsa malingaliro osiyanasiyana am'mphepete mwa nyanja ndi nyanja, zikhalidwe, mawu, ndi zikhalidwe zomwe zilipo padziko lonse lapansi. Choncho ndife onyadira kukhazikitsa ntchito yathu yatsopano, Community Ocean Engagement Global Initiative (COEGI), lero pa Tsiku la World Ocean 2022.

COEGI ndi yodzipereka kuthandizira chitukuko cha atsogoleri am'madera ophunzirira zam'madzi ndikupatsa mphamvu ophunzira azaka zonse kuti azitha kumasulira maphunziro am'nyanja kuti atetezedwe. 

Njira yophunzitsira ya TOF panyanja imayang'ana kwambiri chiyembekezo, zochita, ndi kusintha kwa machitidwe, mutu wovuta womwe Purezidenti wa TOF a Mark J. Spalding adakambirana mu Blog yathu mu 2015. Masomphenya athu ndi kupanga mwayi wofanana wa maphunziro apanyanja ndi ntchito padziko lonse lapansi. Makamaka kudzera mu upangiri, kuphunzira kwenikweni, chitukuko cha anthu ogwira ntchito, maphunziro aboma, ndi kakulidwe ka maphunziro,

Ndisanalowe TOF, ndinagwira ntchito kwa zaka zoposa khumi monga mphunzitsi wa zamadzi Ocean Connectors.

Ndinathandiza ophunzira 38,569 a K-12 ku United States ndi ku Mexico m’maphunziro a zapamadzi, kukonza malo okhala, ndi zosangalatsa za m’mphepete mwa nyanja. Ndinadzionera ndekha kusowa kwa maphunziro okhudzana ndi nyanja, maphunziro ogwiritsira ntchito, ndi kufufuza kwa sayansi m'masukulu aboma - Makamaka m'madera omwe ali ndi ndalama zochepa. Ndipo ndinachita chidwi ndi momwe ndingathetsere kusiyana kwa "chidziwitso-chinthu". Izi zikupereka chimodzi mwazolepheretsa kwambiri kupita patsogolo kwenikweni mu gawo lachitetezo cha panyanja.

Ndinalimbikitsidwa kupititsa patsogolo maphunziro anga popita kusukulu yomaliza maphunziro ku Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Apa ndi pamene ndinali ndi mwayi wobwerera ku Catalina Island kachiwiri kwa nthawi yoyamba kuyambira giredi XNUMX. Kubwereranso kumalo kumene kunandichititsa chidwi choyamba pa sayansi ya za m’madzi kunandisinthiratu. Kupalasa kayaya, kukwera panyanja, ndi kuchititsa maphunziro ndi ophunzira ena a Scripps pa Chilumba cha Catalina zinachititsa chidwi chomwe ndinamva ndili mwana.

Kupyolera mu COEGI, ndi mitundu yeniyeniyi ya mwayi wophunzira maphunziro omwe tikuyembekeza kubweretsa kwa iwo omwe mwachikhalidwe alibe chidziwitso, mwayi, kapena oimira pazamaphunziro a zanyanja kapena sayansi yapanyanja. Ndikudziwa panokha kuti kudzoza, chisangalalo, ndi kulumikizana komwe kumachokera panthawiyi kumatha kusintha moyo.
