However, we also wanted to give students a chance to experience some astronomical research, and in doing so, encourage an interest in participating in science outside of the course context. Building on the general public interest in astronomy, the "Zooniverse project" aims to advance astronomical...
Citizen science is a term used for projects or ongoing programs of scientific work in which individual volunteers or networks of volunteers, many of whom may have no specific scientific training, perform or manage research-related tasks such as observation, measurement or computation. An example ...
Innovative education approaches include citizen science projects that allow students to participate in locally relevant scientific work, connecting content to the real world. Global collaboration provides students with a broader perspective on local issues, allowing students to become more globally aware....
Although it's fun, citizen science is actually serious stuff. People around the world help generate new knowledge or understanding. All of these projects have a genuine science outcome, such as answering a research question, or informing conservation action, management decisions or environmental policy...
Students of animal behavior must learn to accurately define and quantify observations and to be aware of observational bias. We designed an introductory, college-level animal behavior laboratory that uses a free, online citizen-science project (CamClickr) to help students identify and overcome biases...
Science ProjectsScientific PrinciplesIn this study, students enrolled in a basic physics class participated in one of the online citizen science projects available on the Zooniverse website (www.zooniverse.org) as a homework assignment. They then wrote a 300–500-word reflection about their ...
We want you to play in our human behavior lab! Check out some of our citizen science projects below to see which tickles your fancy.
The concept of citizen science, or public participation in scientific research, brings laypersons and researchers together to work on research projects (Riesch, 2015). The origins of this concept can be traced back to the beginning of the 20th century to enthusiastic amateur science projects in ...
Conclusions: Lessons Learned and Next Steps for Citizen Science in Marine and Coastal Conservation In recent years, citizen science has emerged as a powerful new concept to enable the general public, students, and volunteers to become involved in scienti... J Cigliano 被引量: 0发表: 2017年 Co...
