通过参与在线公民科学学习科学

Science Learning via Participation in Online Citizen Science

Karen Masters, Eun Young Oh, Joe Cox, Brooke Simmons, Chris Lintott, Gary Graham, Anita Greenhill, Kate Holmes

摘要:

我们调查志愿者参与在线公民科学项目在Zooniverse(www.zooniverse.org),包括天文项目银河动物园(www.galaxyzoo.org)和行星猎人(www.planethunters.org)的科学内容知识的发展。我们使用计量经济学的方法来测试项目参与的措施如何与成功的科学测验,控制已知的与科学知识相关的因素。公民科学家认为,他们通过参与学习科学的内容和过程。我们不会直接测试后者,但我们找到了支持前者的证据--更积极参与的参与者在特定项目的科学知识测验中表现更好,即使在控制了他们的一般科学知识之后。我们将其解释为参与在线公民科学激发的科学内容学习的证据。

英文摘要:

We investigate the development of scientific content knowledge of volunteers participating in online citizen science projects in the Zooniverse (www.zooniverse.org), including the astronomy projects Galaxy Zoo (www.galaxyzoo.org) and Planet Hunters (www.planethunters.org). We use econometric methods to test how measures of project participation relate to success in a science quiz, controlling for factors known to correlate with scientific knowledge. Citizen scientists believe they are learning about both the content and processes of science through their participation. Won't don't directly test the latter, but we find evidence to support the former - that more actively engaged participants perform better in a project-specific science knowledge quiz, even after controlling for their general science knowledge. We interpret this as evidence of learning of science content inspired by participation in online citizen science.
