The Museum of Science, Boston, (MOS) is conducting a multi-phase project that builds on the groundwork laid by the 2009 report of the NSF/ISE-funded Center for Advancement of Informal Science Education (CAISE) Inquiry Group on the "public engagement with science" model (PES) in informal science education. In comparison to the Public Understanding of Science model (PUOS), where the emphasis is on a one-way transmission or translation of knowledge from experts to the public (often via the mediation of professionals in informal science education), the PES model calls for activities, events, or interactions that are characterized by mutual learning among people of varied backgrounds, scientific expertise, and life experiences, where perspectives, ideas, knowledge and values are articulated and discussed. The two-year project will explore the possibility of new large-scale collaborative public engagement activities, find topics and approaches that are of broad interest with the ISE community, identify potential partners and advisors, and develop future project plans and proposals. In its multi-phase process, MOS will first collect, analyze and publish case-study information about current PES activities using a "dimensions of PES" analytical tool to identify clusters of PES and PUOS activities across a broad spectrum of projects. After the data collection and analysis stage, a workshop of national and international professionals will be convened to explore the implications and identify future directions for the field. The project will produce and disseminate three reports: A summary of findings from the case study phase; a report of the findings of the workshop; and a summary of findings of the evaluation of the project and the impact on project participants.

波士顿科学博物馆（MOS）正在开展一个多阶段的项目，该项目建立在由NSF/ ise资助的非正式科学教育促进中心（CAISE）调查小组2009年关于非正式科学教育中的“公众参与科学”模式（PES）的报告所奠定的基础之上。与强调从专家到公众的知识单向传递或翻译（通常通过非正式科学教育中的专业人员的调解）的公众理解科学模型（PUOS）相比，PES模型要求以不同背景、科学专业知识和生活经历的人之间的相互学习为特征的活动、事件或互动，其中观点、想法、知识和价值观被清晰地表达和讨论。这个为期两年的项目将探索新的大规模合作公众参与活动的可能性，寻找ISE社区广泛感兴趣的主题和方法，确定潜在的合作伙伴和顾问，并制定未来的项目计划和建议。在其多阶段过程中，MOS将首先使用“PES维度”分析工具收集、分析和发布有关当前PES活动的案例研究信息，以确定跨广泛项目的PES和PUOS活动集群。在数据收集和分析阶段之后，将召开一次由国家和国际专业人员参加的讲习班，探讨该领域的影响和确定未来的方向。该项目将编制和散发三份报告：个案研究阶段的调查结果摘要；讲习班的调查结果报告；并总结了项目评估的结果和对项目参与者的影响。
