Archaeological Science for All

该项目将为非正式学习环境中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组织增加和多样化的观众。除了生成信息和数据库，这项工作将制定一个研究框架，向各种公众受众介绍这一主题，重点是代表性不足的群体。计划为包括60家博物馆在内的各种利益相关者制定和实施一项德尔菲调查，以确定他们如何吸引不同的受众，需要什么来创造有效的考古学学习机会，以及他们在传达考古学内容和概念方面的成功程度。其结果将是一份综合报告，为广泛的非正式科学教育界提供信息。

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.
