Archaeological Science for All

本项目将为非正式学习环境下的考古教育奠定研究基础。它将调查考古内容和概念的使用，以帮助博物馆和其他非正式学习型组织增加其受众并使其多样化。除了提供资料和建立数据库之外，这项工作还将拟订一个研究框架，以便向各种公众介绍这一主题，重点是代表性不足的群体。该计划是为包括60家博物馆在内的各种利益相关者制定和实施德尔菲调查，以确定他们如何吸引不同的观众，需要什么来创造有效的考古学习机会，以及他们在传播考古内容和概念方面的成功程度。结果将是一种综合，为非正式科学教育界的广泛领域提供信息。

This project will establish a research foundation for archaeological education in informal learning environments. It will investigate the use of archaeological content and concepts to help museums and other informal learning organizations increase and diversity their audiences. In addition to generating information and a data base, the effort will develop a research framework for presenting this subject to various public audiences with emphasis on underrepresented groups.The plan is to develop and implement a Delphi survey for a variety of stakeholders, including 60 museums, to determine what they do to attract diverse audiences, what is needed to create effective archaeology learning opportunities, and how successful they have been in communicating archaeological content and concepts. The result will be a synthesis that informs a broad spectrum of the informal science education community.
