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…
Attitudes and motivation influence how participants engage in different scientific activities in the online community of a citizen science project
Information technology facilitates participation in various scientific tasks in the online communities of citizen science (CS) projects. Previous research suggests that the production of scientific knowledge is more robust when participants are engaged not only in the scientific activities of data collection, but also in data analysis. However, only few participants engage in data analysis. Although their motivation and attitudes might influence …
Scientific reasoning skills predict topic‐specific knowledge after participation in a citizen science project on urban wildlife ecology
In citizen science (CS) projects, citizens who are not professional scientists participate in scientific research. Besides serving research purposes, CS projects provide participants opportunities for inquiry‐based learning to promote their topic‐specific knowledge and scientific reasoning skills. Previous research suggests that participants need scientific reasoning skills to engage in scientific activities and to learn from inquiry in CS projec…
To know about science is to love it? Unraveling cause–effect relationships between knowledge and attitudes toward science in citizen science on urban wildlife ecology
Nowadays, citizens collaborate increasingly with scientists in citizen science (CS) projects on environmental issues. CS projects often have educational goals and aim to increase citizens' knowledge with the ultimate goal of fostering positive attitudes toward science. To date, little is known about the extent to which CS projects strengthen the positive interrelationship between knowledge and attitudes. Based on previous research, it has been su…
