One by Land, Two by Sea: Differentiating Learning Levels in Archaeology Education Programs

Author(s): Keilani Hernandez; Rachel Hines

Year: 2020

Summary

This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

Archaeology education programs should address the needs of both students and teachers, therefore the programs should be tailored to specific age groups. Through our research on current educational theory and learning styles, our collaboration with local teachers, and our work with the Florida Public Archaeology Network, we compare differences in educational approaches for elementary and high school students. Our poster presents two educational programs that draw on these specific learning styles and provide targeted, relevant, and accessible avenues to archaeological education. Could these educational programs, one about cemeteries and the other about shipwrecks, spark a revolution for future archaeology education programs for these age groups?
