Dimensions of Public Engagement with Science

波士顿科学博物馆（MOS）正在进行一个多阶段项目，该项目建立在2009年美国国家科学基金会/国际教育研究所资助的促进非正式科学教育中心（CAISE）调查小组关于非正式科学教育中“公众参与科学”模式（PES）的报告基础上。 与公众理解科学模式（PUOS）相比，PUOS模式强调的是专家向公众单向传播或翻译知识（通常通过非正式科学教育专业人员的调解），PES模式要求各种活动，事件或互动，其特点是不同背景，科学专业知识和生活经验的人之间的相互学习，其中观点，阐述和讨论各种想法、知识和价值观。 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，寻找伊势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。 在其多阶段进程中，海洋观测系统将首先收集、分析和公布关于目前生态系统服务费用支付活动的案例研究信息，使用“生态系统服务费用支付的各个方面”分析工具，确定广泛项目中生态系统服务费用支付和和平利用外层空间活动的集群。 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，探讨所涉问题并确定该领域的未来方向。该项目将编写和分发三份报告：案例研究阶段的调查结果摘要;讲习班的调查结果报告;项目评价结果和对项目参与者的影响摘要。

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.
