项目摘要

"Assessing the Impact of a Visit to a Zoo or Aquarium: A Multi-institutional Research Project" will create a functional taxonomy of zoo/aquarium visitors' entering knowledge, attitudes and behaviors. This taxonomy, in conjunction with data about the specific experiences visitors have during their visit, will enable investigators to understand and predict the contribution of zoos and aquariums to the public understanding of animals and their conservation. The results will clarify the role of zoos and aquariums as centers of informal learning and point to ways to strengthen their educational impact.The AZA convened a national advisory committee that commissioned and completed a thorough review, confirming a critical need to conduct more research, particularly research that attempts to ask broad questions, collect data systematically, and includes sufficient number and types of institutions to permit community-wide generalizations. Twelve AZA institutions of various sizes, geographic regions and types will participate in the study. The net result of the study will be a descriptive model of zoo and aquarium visitor learning experiences and development of a set of diagnostic tools to help zoo and aquaria staff understand and enhance the nature and extent of their public impact.

“评估参观动物园或水族馆的影响：一个多机构研究项目”将创建动物园/水族馆参观者进入知识、态度和行为的功能分类。这一分类与游客在参观期间的具体体验数据相结合，将使调查人员能够了解和预测动物园和水族馆对公众了解动物及其保护的贡献。结果将阐明动物园和水族馆作为非正式学习中心的作用，并指出加强其教育影响的方法。AZA召集了一个国家咨询委员会，委托并完成了一项彻底的审查，确认迫切需要进行更多的研究，特别是试图提出广泛问题、系统收集数据的研究，并包括足够数量和类型的机构，以允许在社区范围内推广。12个不同规模、地理区域和类型的AZA机构将参与这项研究。这项研究的最终结果将是动物园和水族馆游客学习经验的描述性模型，并开发一套诊断工具，帮助动物园和水族馆工作人员了解和加强其对公众影响的性质和程度。
