Seeing the Forest, Not the Trees – Crowdsourced Data Collection Methods for Sector-Wide Research
Research that involves a large and broad sample of museums can produce a representative picture of the entire museum sector and lead to global insights that may not be attainable through a more local lens. However, many museum research projects use a small sample of museums, meant to represent the entire field. We propose a research method that distributes data collection across a broad swath of museums to provide local detail that can be used to…
Multi-Site Case Studies About Zoo and Aquarium Visitors’ Perceptions of the STEM Learning Ecology
Informal learning institutions like zoos, aquariums, science centers, and botanic gardens are popular among the American public. Many offer science-related activities, suggesting an “ecology” of sites varying in degree with regards to science and STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) learning in general. Understanding public perceptions of the STEM learning ecology can inform decisions about increasing STEM literacy in the United States. …
The Environment as a Pathway to Science Learning for K–12 Learners—A Case Study of the E-STEM Movement
Recent trends in the environmental education field have recognized the value of using the environment as a pathway for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) learning, or E→STEM. Research has highlighted that nature-focused outdoor lessons can support students' science knowledge development, yet little is known about the mechanisms through which learning occurs. Moreover, a focus on content knowledge limits understanding of students' d…
Sustaining the Conservationist
Environmental work is emotionally laden because of the struggle on behalf of ethical positions and the daily experience of loss and frustration. Such ongoing stressful experiences may be understood better within a trauma-based framework that acknowledges their implications, similar to clinical diagnosis and treatment of acute stress disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder. This paper reports on two studies of the emotional experience of enviro…
