AI总结:

本研究通过芝加哥大学纪录片《叠加》的观众调查,评估纪录片在提升公众科学兴趣和连接个人故事方面的传播效果。

摘要:

科学的复杂性及其经常缺乏可及性,往往导致公众对其缺乏兴趣。此外,公众对科学的认知与科学研究的现实之间存在着差距,这严重限制了公众参与科学的范围。芝加哥大学STAGE实验室创作的新纪录片系列《好奇心——科学家的养成》,通过提升人们对科学和科学家的认知与热情来应对这一问题。《好奇心》的每一部影片聚焦于一位科学家,通过交织他们的个人生活元素以及他们在科学工作中遇到的成败,讲述他们如何成为科学家的故事。我们的目标受众包括科学家和此前对量子物理学或科学几乎没有接触的非科学家。该系列的首集《叠加》是一部25分钟的影片,讲述芝加哥大学一位量子物理学研究生的故事。为评估这部影片的成功,它被放映给涵盖大多数年龄段的多个观众群体,观众在观看后被要求填写一份详细的匿名调查问卷。通过这些调查,观众报告了对科学兴趣的增加,以及与影片中刻意编织的研究生个人故事的联结。

英文摘要:

The complexity of science and its frequent lack of accessibility often creates disinterest among the general public. Furthermore, there exists a gap between the public perception of science and the reality of scientific research, which severely limits the scope of public engagement with science. A new docuseries, Curiosity-The Making of a Scientist, created at the STAGE Lab at the University of Chicago, addresses this issue by increasing the awareness and excitement around science and scientists. Each film of Curiosity focuses on a single scientist and tells the story of how they became a scientist by interweaving elements of their personal life together with the successes and failures they encounter in their scientific work. Our intended audience includes scientists and non-scientists with little or no previous exposure to quantum physics or science. The pilot of the series, SUPERPOSITION, is a 25-minute film about a graduate student in quantum physics at the University of Chicago. To evaluate the success of this film, it was screened to several audiences covering most age groups, and audience members were requested to fill out a detailed anonymous survey after the viewing. Via these surveys, viewers reported an increased interest in science and a connection to the personal story of the graduate student that was purposefully woven throughout the film.
