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 …
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 …
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…
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…
Improving attitudes and knowledge in a citizen science project about urban bat ecology
Greving, H., T. Bruckermann, A. Schumann, T. M. Straka, D. Lewanzik, S. L. Voigt-Heucke, L. Marggraf, J. Lorenz, M. Brandt, C. C. Voigt, U. Harms and J. Kimmerle. 2022. Improving attitudes and knowledge in a citizen science project about urban bat ecology. Ecology and Society 27(2):24. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-13272-270224
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…
