项目摘要

The project will conduct a nation wide study to address three broad questions: (1) How does the public view zoos and aquariums and how do these institutions affect STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) learning outside their walls? (2) How do visitors experience zoos at different stages in their lives and how do zoo visits affect their knowledge and perspectives concerning environmental issues and conservation? (3) What are the entry characteristics of visitors and how do those characteristics play out in behaviors during a visit?The project is designed to advance understanding of how informal STEM learning emerges through the intersection of institutional pedagogy and learning goals and the characteristics of individuals and their social and cultural backgrounds. As the first institutional study that advances a field-wide research agenda, the project will map how to implement a national collaborative effort that can help refine program delivery and cooperation between zoos, aquariums and other STEM learning institutions. The study will describe zoo and aquarium visitors based on a broad understanding of demographics, group, and individual perspectives to expand understanding of how these factors influence visitor learning and how they view the relevance of educational messages presented by zoos and aquariums. The project will result in reports, workshops and a handbook presenting findings of practical value for educators, a research platform and research tools, online discussion forums, and directions for future research. The project, led by New Knowledge Organization (NKO), will be carried out through the collaboration of NKO with other informal research organizations and the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) with its 230 informal science learning institutional members. This project is supported by the Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) program funds research and innovative resources for use in a variety of settings, as a part of its overall strategy to enhance learning in informal environments.
该项目将进行一项全国性的研究,以解决三个广泛的问题:(1)公众如何看待动物园和水族馆,这些机构如何影响他们墙外的STEM(科学技术工程数学)学习?(2)参观者在他们人生的不同阶段如何体验动物园,参观动物园如何影响他们关于环境问题和保护的知识和观点?(3)参观者的进入特征是什么,这些特征如何在参观期间表现为行为?该项目旨在促进对非正式STEM学习如何通过机构教学和学习的交叉出现的理解目标和个人特征以及他们的社会和文化背景。作为推进全领域研究议程的第一项机构研究,该项目将规划如何实施国家协作努力,以帮助完善项目交付以及动物园、水族馆和其他STEM学习机构之间的合作。这项研究将基于对人口统计学、群体和个人视角的广泛理解来描述动物园和水族馆的游客,以扩大对这些因素如何影响游客学习以及他们如何看待动物园和水族馆提供的教育信息的相关性的理解。该项目将产生报告、讲习班和一本手册,介绍对教育工作者具有实用价值的成果,一个研究平台和研究工具,在线讨论论坛,以及未来研究的方向。该项目由新知识组织(NKO)领导,将通过NKO与其他非正式研究组织以及动物园和水族馆协会(AZA)及其230个非正式科学学习机构成员的合作来实施。该项目得到了推进非正式STEM学习(AISL)计划的支持,该计划为各种环境下使用的研究和创新资源提供资金,作为其加强非正式环境中学习的整体战略的一部分。
