30.034 - The Ecology of Citizen Science: An Opportunity for Learning
Fri, April 28, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 221 CSession Type: Structured Poster Session
Abstract
Citizen Science (CS) is both a genre of research and a form of science communication and informal education, which connects scientists and nonscientists around projects that involve science. The past two decades with their rapid development of information communication technologies, created fertile grounds for various types of CS endeavors to develop. In the current session we highlight different opportunities for learning in the context of such projects. These opportunities span across diverse population, including school students, teachers and communities of adults who share serious leisure, to name a few. Learning itself is also diversified and includes specific disciplinary content knowledge, acquaintance with science practices and tools, understanding and problematizing relations between science and everyday life, and more.
