  • More Details on the Efforts to Empower Students Through Citizen Science
    THE WHITE HOUSE Office of Science and Technology Policy March 23, 2015 FACT SHEET: Empowering Students and Others through Citizen Science and Crowdsourcing Citizen science and crowdsourcing projects are powerful tools for providing students with skills needed to excel in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Volunteers in citizen science, for example, gain hands-on experience doing real science, and in many cases take that learning outside of the traditional classroom setting. As part of the 5th White House Science Fair, the Obama Administration and a broader community of companies, non-profits, and others are announcing new steps to increase the ability of more students and members of the public to participate in the scientific process through citizen science and crowdsourcing projects. New Steps Being Announced by the Administration Installation of a Rain Gauge in the White House Garden: The White House, in collaboration with the National Atmospheric and Oceanographic Administration (NOAA) and the National Park Service (NPS), will install a new rain gauge in the First Lady’s Kitchen Garden as the White House becomes a new participant in the CoCoRaHS (Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network) citizen science project. The White House will begin making contributions as an additional data source to the citizen scientist project during Science Fair. There are millions of citizen scientists in this country willingly contributing valuable time and effort to help advance our collective understanding of the world around us. The CoCoRaHS Network’s over 20,000+ active volunteers serve as the largest source of daily precipitation data in our country, reporting measurement from coastal lowlands to the high peaks of Rocky Mountain National Park.

Moreover, few studies about science festivals for special education students are conducted. This study is based on findings from five years of reflective writings and drawings on Seullim Science Festivals collected by the Busan Institute of Science Education in Korea. Seullim Science Festival aims to give opportunities for Special Education students to engage in a variety of science experiments and to enjoy the basic rights of science for all students. The rich qualitative data were analyzed using a ground theory and categorized by the themes. The findings presented in this paper show the impressions of the special education students on the festivals and their pride in being a participating member. Additionally, the festivals gave opportunities for non-special education students to become more insightful understanding to special education students and to engage in science. The authors of the current study hope other science festival organizers and science educators find the information useful.

  • Volunteer Recruitment and Retention in Online Citizen Science Projects Using Marketing Strategies: Lessons from Season Spotter
    Volunteer recruitment and retention in online citizen science projects using marketing strategies: lessons from Season Spotter Alycia Crall, Margaret Kosmala, Rebecca Cheng, Jonathan Brier, Darlene Cavalier, Sandra Henderson and Andrew D. Richardson Abstract Citizen science continues to grow, potentially increasing competition among projects to recruit and retain volunteers interested in participating. Using web analytics, we examined the ability of a marketing campaign to broaden project awareness, while driving engagement and retention in an online, crowdsourced project. The campaign challenged audiences to support the classification of >9,000 pairs of images. The campaign was successful due to increased engagement, but it did not increase the time participants spent classifying images. Engagement over multiple days was significantly shorter during the campaign. We provide lessons learned to improve targeted recruitment and retention of participants in online projects. Keywords Citizen science; Public engagement with science and technology Introduction The number of citizen science projects has grown significantly in the past two decades, emerging as a valuable resource for conducting research across a variety of fields [Kullenberg and Kasperowski, 2016]. Public engagement in these projects can range from spending less than a minute classifying an image online to engaging in multiple steps of the scientific process (e.g., asking questions, collecting data, analyzing data, disseminating findings; Bonney et al. [2009b]). As citizen science continues to grow, there may be growing demand for participation resulting in increased competition among projects to recruit and retain those interested in engaging in the activities associated with these projects [Sauermann and Franzoni, 2015]. Researchers have begun examining participant motivations in an effort to determine best practices for recruiting and retaining volunteers.

  • 9 WHY IMPACT EVALUATION MATTERS in SCIENCE COMMUNICATION Science Communication Practice
    Why impact evaluation matters in science communication: Or, advancing the science 9 of science communication Eric Allen Jensen Introduction Science communication activities have different agendas, audiences and venues, but most share the goal of making scientific or technical knowledge and research more accessible for public audiences to understand, discuss or debate. But this leaves open the fundamental questions: What counts as effective science communication? What difference is our science communication making? How can we measure whether the communication approach was effective at developing impact? These questions are fundamental to the science communication enterprise (see, for example, National Science Board [2006]), as their answers provide the pathway to improvement in practice over time. Impact is the overall net outcomes or results of an activity or intervention (intended or unintended) for individuals or groups. Note that changes or ‘impacts’ can be in negative or dysfunctional directions (Jensen, 2015b). Impacts could include, for example, development in learning about a specific topic; attitude change; a greater sense of self-efficacy; enhanced curiosity or interest in a subject; and improved skills or confidence. Despite over two centuries of public science communication practice, there is no consensus on what counts as ‘success’ for 213 SCIENCE COMMUNICATION IN SOUTH AFRICA public engagement and informal science learning initiatives.1 The lack of good evaluation practice across the field is certainly a key contributor to this state of affairs (Jensen, 2015a). Industry standard evaluation conducted across the science communication field comprise a rogue’s gallery of errors and poor practice at each stage in the process from research design to instrument design, sampling, analysis and interpretation.
