The Role of Technology in Evaluating Cultural Value

评估文化影响的方法仍然需要实质性的发展，以支持对文化价值的强有力的、长期的实证研究。与此同时，技术创新为评估文化价值带来了新的可能性，有望提高效率、覆盖面和有效性，超越传统方法。这个拟议的项目考虑了几种评估文化价值的技术增强的方法，提供了描述和批判性评估，以阐明它们的优势和劣势。该项目侧重于评估方法本身，目的是支持今后对文化价值的实证评估和研究。该项目从关于这一主题的现有研究和方法论文献开始。该项目将审查目前有关利用技术通过活动、机构和数字平台，如推特、脸书、个人网页等评估文化价值发展的文献。项目组将确定不同技术和技术强化评估方法的优缺点，以建议在文化价值评估中最有效地利用数字技术的适当框架。这一批判性文献审查的结果将能够广泛应用于一个框架，以促进评估和采用文化参与价值的方式。方法本项目采用的方法将整合一系列研究方法，包括合作伙伴关于艺术/文化参与影响评估、软件设计、制作和实施、混合方法、数据分析、数字节目可视化以及将这些新模式与更传统的文化影响分析相结合的要求。该项目的核心是，我们如何利用数字技术建立一个强有力的、以证据为基础的评估框架，同时对技术对评估文化价值的贡献的限度保持批判性的观点。关键评估这一阶段的研究将涉及对范围审查中确定的证据进行审查，使用透明、明确的协议对研究进行关键评估、预定义的相关性标准以及任何数据提取和分析，从而满足Campbell协作指南的标准。在适当标题下的证据摘要将注明证据差距或弱点出现在哪里。关键评审过程关键评审过程将包括以下关键阶段：1.文献鉴定2.相关性决定3.摘录/获取全文论文4.总结所收录论文的方法和方法的应用5.对现有文献中的方法进行批判性评估6.从现有的评估文化价值的文献中找出其他与技术相关的方法选择7。批判性地评估其他方法选项8。准备表格(S)，总结方法选项、优点和缺点，并撰写报告

Methods of evaluating cultural impact still need substantial development to support robust, long-term empirical research on cultural value. Meanwhile, technological innovations have raised new possibilities for evaluating cultural value that promise to increase efficiency, reach and validity beyond what is possible with conventional methods. This proposed project considers several technology-enhanced methods for evaluating cultural value, providing descriptions and critical assessments to elucidate their strengths and weakness. This project focuses on evaluation methodology per se, with the aim of supporting future empirical evaluation and research on cultural value. The project begins with existing research and methodological literature on this topic. This project will review current literature on the use of technologies to evaluate the development of cultural value through events, institutions and digital platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, individual webpages, etc. The project team will identify the strengths and weakness of different technologies and technology-enhanced evaluation approaches to suggest an appropriate framework for making best use of digital technologies in cultural value evaluation. The results of this critical literature review will be able to broadly be applied to a framework that can advance the way in which the value of cultural engagement is evaluated and employed.MethodsThe methodology employed for this project will integrate a range of research approaches, embracing the partners' knowledge of arts/culture engagement impact evaluation, software design, production and implementation, mixed methods data analysis, visualisation of digital programmes and the requirements for integrating these new modes with more traditional cultural impact analysis. At its core, the project is focused on how we can capitalise on digital technologies to build a robust, evidence-based evaluation framework, while at the same time maintaining a critical perspective with respect to the limits of the technologies' contribution to evaluating cultural value. Critical Review This phase of the research will involve a review of the evidence identified in the scoping review, using transparent, clear protocols for critical appraisal of the studies, predefined relevance criteria, and any extraction and analysis of data, and thus fulfilling criteria of Campbell Collaboration guidelines. Summaries of evidence under appropriate headings will note where evidence gaps or weaknesses occur. Critical Review ProcessThe critical review process will involve the following key stages:1. Literature identified 2. Decision on relevance3. Extract/obtain full papers 4. Summarise included papers' methods and applications of methods 5. Critically assess methods in existing literature6. Identify additional technology-linked methodological options from beyond the existing literature on evaluating culture value7. Critically assess additional methodological options8. Prepare table(s) summarising methodological options, strengths and weaknesses and write up report
