The impact of research process presentations on secondary school student’s perception of scientific credibility and tentativeness
Supporting students in understanding how scientific knowledge is developed, including its inherent uncertainty, is a key challenge in science education. The research presented here investigated how the formatting of scientific practices and the representation of a scientist’s thought processes influence secondary school student’s perceptions of the scientist’s credibility, the research’s credibility, and the tentativeness of findings. Scientific …
Who Engages in Citizen Science Projects on Urban Wildlife Ecology? Findings on Participant Groups from Cluster Analyses
Citizen science (CS) has grown in recent years in terms of popularity, project numbers, and content. Yet, even though there is previous research on the demographics of participants in CS projects, it is unclear whether participants can be reasonably classified into specific groups based on their demographics. Such knowledge could help engage, retain, and attract CS participants in the future. Therefore, the research presented here identified dist…
The role of research process presentations in science education
Laypeople often struggle to interpret the provisional nature of scientific knowledge. While scientific knowledge may be widely accepted within the scientific community, it is continually subject to revision and further development as new studies are published. These characteristics of science, where findings build upon each other over time rather than being entirely replaced by new discoveries, are not always well understood by the public. This b…
Opening the Black Box of Scientific Practices
Understanding scientific practices is fundamental to modern society and to science education. Concepts such as Scientific Reasoning (SR) and the Nature of Science (NOS) are important to operationalize different aspects of these practices. Educational policy organizations and international standards require science education to provide insights into the activities and thought processes of scientists to improve science learning. The implementation …
Understanding scientific tentativeness through bat ecology
This study investigates how different video-based representations of scientific practice and a scientist’s thought processes influence public perceptions of credibility – both of the scientist and the research – as well as perceived tentativeness of scientific findings and academic self-efficacy. In an experimental online study with a German general population sample (N = 1,105), four videos depicting bat ecology fieldwork were tested. The videos…
