As the Journal of Interpretation Research reaches its 25th year, we thought it was fitting to answer this question. The practice of interpretation is grounded in the seminal works of Mills (1920) and Tilden (1957), which laid out the vision, mission, and principles for the fledgling field and profession. The art of interpretation and these principles for practice were largely developed from their many years of practice and observation. Over the ensuing decades, the philosophy and principles underlying the profession of interpretation were largely followed based on faith and anecdotal observation by practitioners. In other words, practitioners largely based the practice of interpretation on their judgement regarding the audiences’ enjoyment of their interpretive efforts. As a practitioner, you may ask, what is wrong with that? It is true that one of the key outcomes of interpretation is “enjoyment,” or that a program holds an individual’s attention in noncaptive settings (where the audience can simply walk away). However, if the profession of interpretation is to be based on more than anecdote and accomplish more than mere “enjoyment” (or persistence), research is needed to provide evidence to examine other outcomes, improve practice, support informed decision-making, adapt to changing audiences and social conditions, and justify investments in programming. In its 25th year, the Journal of Interpretation Research stands on the shoulders of the great work of Mills and Tilden, but also dozens of more recent researchers that have advanced our field (we refrain from naming names for fear of leaving anyone out). We are now at another crossroads as interpretation is redefined for a new generation. As the field seeks to “facilitate meaningful, relevant, and inclusive experiences that deepen understanding, broaden perspectives, and inspire engagement with the world around us” (NAI, 2021), research is increasingly important to ensure we meet our mission.","PeriodicalId":364431,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpretation Research","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115393371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, little is known, if or how, animal handling practices and interpretation impact attendees’ perceptions of animal welfare and/or empathy. To evaluate these effects, eight ambassador animal program videos were created employing varying combinations of animal handling (traditional/free choice), interpretive messaging (traditional/empathy-based), and choice and control language (present/absent). Online questionnaires (N = 1,185) were used to assess participants’ environmental and empathic predispositions before viewing and perceptions of animal welfare and empathic reactions immediately after viewing a video. Results revealed that empathic reactions were moderately correlated with perceptions of animal welfare (r = .53, p < .001) and mean empathic responses were higher for free choice handling and empathic messaging videos versus traditional handling and messaging. Programming recommendations are discussed that can improve visitors’ perceptions of animal care and elicit strong empathic reactions.","PeriodicalId":364431,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpretation Research","volume":"308 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116365461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Oftentimes, these calls are based on the perceived needs to base training and programmatic decisions on the best available science as well as justify budget allocations, to generate sustainable financial support, or to make inroads or strengthen commitments with new or existing audiences. The research literature is littered with empirical articles and reviews that can speak to the value of various educational experiences (see Ardoin et al., 2018, 2020; Stern et al., 2014; Stern and Powell, 2021 for key reviews in the fields of environmental education and heritage interpretation). Within the field of interpretation, the most recent systematic literature review identified 41 articles published within the Journal of Interpretation Research (JIR) alone that measured outcomes of specific interpretive interventions between 2010 and 2019 (Stern and Powell, 2021). So why are managers still asking for evidence when it already exists? We believe one answer lies in the accessibility of the research. Accessibility can be both physical, in terms of ability to obtain reports and articles, and cognitive, in terms of the ability of researchers and practitioners to effectively communicate evidence. JIR is available to all members of the National Association for interpretation. Moreover, authors are always at liberty to share their articles directly with anyone who asks for them. This latter element of physical accessibility is often unknown by practitioners in the field. While authors cannot broadly re-publish a peer-reviewed journal article (e.g., on a website of their own), they can share their manuscripts directly with individuals and make pre-prints (unformatted versions) of their manuscripts available elsewhere.","PeriodicalId":364431,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpretation Research","volume":"255 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120868106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, comprehensive understanding of how to identify trailside interpretive sign locations is lacking. The purpose of this study was to introduce an approach using geographic information systems (GIS) that supplements decision-making regarding sign placement. The study site was Grand Canyon National Park’s Rim to Rim (R2R) corridor. To identify sign placement locations, two analytical phases were conducted. First, GPS data loggers were distributed to visitors and their travel patterns were analyzed for spatial behaviors and spatial interactions that are known to influence the likelihood of recreation conflict. Specifically, locations with a high variance of visitor travel speeds and locations with concentrated visitor use were identified. Second, geographic data were analyzed to identify locations for a combination of features that together influence the likelihood of recreation conflict. Specifically, popular bidirectional trail segments with significant elevation change were identified. We reported these locations and areas using GPS coordinates for evaluation by future research. This research was a necessary step towards comprehensively understanding how to identify locations for interpretive signs.","PeriodicalId":364431,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpretation Research","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115442425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Timed interaction observations (n = 317) revealed children (0–17 years) engaged more with interactive elements than adults (18–80+ years). Ten single-use plastic reduction and plastic stewardship intentions were evaluated through structured questionnaires; the top three behaviors visitors intended to change were: using a reusable straw (37.4%), cleaning the beach (37.4%), and bring-your-own bag to the store or market (33.0%). 18 to 29 year olds had the highest change in desire to address the ocean plastics problem before and after seeing the exhibit, but the lowest likelihood of engaging in either single-use plastics reduction or plastic stewardship actions of all age groups.","PeriodicalId":364431,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpretation Research","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122506297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
