在世界各地，越来越多的人参加非正式的科学活动，通常是跨文化界限的多活动节日的一部分。对于参与的研究人员和组织者来说，评估活动的成功，价值和有效性非常重要。然而，使用传统的评估方法，如纸上调查和正式的结构化访谈提出了问题，在非正式的，动态的背景下。在这篇文章中，我们借鉴了我们的经验，评估事件，字面上发生在一个领域，并讨论评估方法，我们发现是简单的，但在这种情况下有用。
Around the world, increasing numbers of people are attending informal science events, often ones that are part of multi-event festivals that cross cultural boundaries. For the researchers who take part, and the organizers, evaluating the events’ success, value, and effectiveness is hugely important. However, the use of traditional evaluation meth- ods such as paper surveys and formal structured interviews poses problems in informal, dynamic contexts. In this article, we draw on our experience of evaluating events that literally took place in a eld, and discuss evaluation methods we have found to be simple yet useful in such situations.
