本文探讨了让儿童参与环境公民科学的好处和挑战，环境公民科学被定义为在专业科学家的指导下由非专业人士进行的科学，以促进社会公益。公民科学解决两个核心要素的社会良好的模式-环境正义和包容性，特别注意在年龄，性别，种族/民族和社会阶层的多样性，在解决环境不公正，这是更普遍的代表性不足的社区。本文评估了如何参与公民科学项目的重点是环境（生态公民科学）有利于儿童的发展，有助于科学，并导致承诺环境管理和正义的成年人。我们的工作通过明确呼吁将儿童纳入环境公民科学项目，为社会公益和社会正义的话语做出了新的贡献。我们研究了让儿童参与科学项目的好处和挑战，并讨论了对政策，实践和未来研究的影响。
This article examines the benefits and challenges of engaging children in environmental citizen science, defined as science conducted by nonspecialists under the direction of professional scientists, to promote social good. Citizen science addresses two central elements of the social good model—environmental justice and inclusion with particular attention to diversity in age, gender, race/ethnicity, and social class in addressing environmental injustice that is more prevalent in underrepresented communities. This article evaluates how participation in citizen science projects focused on the environment (eco-citizen science) benefits the child’s development, contributes to science, and leads to commitment to environmental stewardship and justice as adults. Our work offers a novel contribution to the discourse on social good and social justice through explicitly calling for children to be included in environmental citizen science projects. We examine the benefits and challenges of involving children in scientific projects and discuss implications for policy, practice, and future research.
