This article employs a museum-based framework to study the design of intrinsically motivating science communication lectures. The analysis was conducted based on the motivational components of the Selinda Model of Visitor Learning (SMVL) proposed by Perry [Perry, D. L. (2012). What makes learning fun?: Principles for the design of intrinsically motivating museum exhibits. Altamira Press]. Using qualitative and quantitative analytical techniques, this study examines the experience of high school students regarding intrinsically motivating elements during their participation in science communication lectures on Chemistry research in Brazil. Two hundred and fifty-eight high school students from six public schools took part in this study, which was primarily based on their visit to a public university. The results obtained showed that the students had a positive perception about the factors that make a lecture intrinsically rewarding and helped identify the specific elements that enhanced students’ motivation. Considering that this is the first attempt to apply the SMVL framework in Brazil, the findings suggest that interactive lectures are an important strategic tool that researchers can use to communicate science and their scientific research to the people outside the confines of the university environment and beyond the exchanges that occur between their peers.","PeriodicalId":45375,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Science Education Part B-Communication and Public Engagement","volume":"15 1","pages":"271 - 288"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82546643","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}

The online festival included 28 pre-recorded and 12 live activities of different types (hands-on, demonstration, games, lectures, podcasts, virtual tours). Hands-on activities and virtual tours had the highest number of unique viewers, while lectures and podcasts were the least watched. The videos were watched also after the advertised date of the festival and reached a broader audience than the physical events. The number of participants, the holding time, and the proportion of people who filled the feedback forms, however, were lower in the online than the physical events. STEM organisations should consider hybrid events, with both virtual and in-person contents, to reach a broader audience and to create more inclusive events. We provide recommendations on how to maximise the benefit of virtual formats, including expanding blended virtual activities to reach a wider variety of age groups.","PeriodicalId":45375,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Science Education Part B-Communication and Public Engagement","volume":"10 1","pages":"193 - 202"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89797981","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}

Specifically, the study spotlights the written aspect of science communication and explores how scientists approach writing addressing audiences ‘beyond academia’. Adopting an ethnographic narrative interview approach, we explore what four researchers in different STEM fields write, how they do it and why, their perceptions about the value and the role of science communication, and the place and space it takes in their career. After presenting their individual experiences, we discuss the common themes that link their personal ‘stories’ of science communication. First, their motives align with the notion of scholarship of engagement: as a means to educate and share scientific knowledge, science communication has a democratic value. Secondly, they engage in a wide range of writing practices and genres, based on the nature of their work and their field of expertise. Additionally, while they personally value writing science communication, this engagement takes time away from their academic writing and other types of scientific work. We conclude with suggestions for further research and the development of training programs for future scientists that build on established writing pedagogies.","PeriodicalId":45375,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Science Education Part B-Communication and Public Engagement","volume":"17 1","pages":"203 - 220"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86094288","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}

Results suggest that scientists who do not engage in PSC need external support from their institution, and scientists who do engage in PSC continue to engage because they feel intrinsically motivated. Results revealed that communication skills development training is needed to improve scientists’ perceived ability to mitigate science controversies, evaluate the effectiveness of communication strategies, and manage science communications projects. We also found that scientists who used social media for PSC enjoy and contribute to PSC more than those who did not use social media. However, PSC contribution varied based on scientists’ ethnicity, years of research experience, faculty title, and college. Female scientists need more help than males do in developing their confidence and increasing their enjoyment in PSC.

However, the benefits for participants vary, depending on the way and the amount of participants’ personal involvement in the project. In this study, we investigated whether additional guidance would improve involvement and hence lead to greater knowledge gains, higher commitment and improved scientific reasoning of participants in a Citizen Science project on birdwatching. A group receiving guidance was compared to a group which took part in the same project without receiving additional support. Results showed that both groups enhanced their knowledge about birds and their commitment to birding, while there were no significant changes in scientific reasoning. However, participants receiving additional guidance observed a higher number of different bird species and reported being able to identify significantly more species. Participation in a Citizen Science project either with or without further guidance can be seen as powerful in supporting birders at the beginning of their initial stages. Thus, both versions should be taken into account when designing future Citizen Science projects.","PeriodicalId":45375,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Science Education Part B-Communication and Public Engagement","volume":"1 1","pages":"94 - 110"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89382681","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}

We situate our findings in the context of high societal diversity and inequality in South Africa. We found that young researchers see public engagement predominantly as a tool to educate the public, with limited awareness of dialogic and participative approaches. While the researchers saw benefit in participating in public engagement, they disagreed on whether public engagement is an integral part of a scientist’s professional role. Personal enjoyment was a key motivator for engagement, but they also wanted to make a difference in their communities by helping to address knowledge gaps. Time constraints, competing work demands and a perceived lack of skills were barriers, as well as a shortage of institutional support and engagement opportunities. The young researchers were eager to have access to engagement training and felt that public engagement deserves more recognition in their work environments. Based on this, we proposed recommendations for institutions that may help to create a supportive environment for early-career scientists who wish to participate in public engagement.","PeriodicalId":45375,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Science Education Part B-Communication and Public Engagement","volume":"20 6 1","pages":"157 - 173"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85527287","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}

The transferability of aims and objectives of one research field to the other offers great potential. The widely recognized aim of ‘trust in science’ in science communication is still less discussed in science education. However, when teaching emotive scientific topics such as climate change, vaccines or genetic engineering, students’ trust in science is of great importance. This paper presents a study of two interventions (N PartI = 443; N PartII = 333), to (1) assess the level of trust in science among secondary school students, and (2) to investigate the impact of outreach activities on the development of trust in science. Results showed that the mean level of trust in science among secondary school students is similar to the level among university students. We found a trust-enhancing effect of the interventions exclusively for students with a low prior level of trust (low-trustors). Furthermore, results indicated that high levels of trust in science can support learning in science outreach activities. These findings are particularly important when considering that increasing students’ level of trust in science appears to be especially important for low-trustors in order to prevent negative social tendencies.","PeriodicalId":45375,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Science Education Part B-Communication and Public Engagement","volume":"154 1","pages":"111 - 125"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82788419","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}

The content of such representations will also vary in relation to the particular mandates (e.g. beliefs, values, norms) of those cultural spaces. In the present research, we conducted a study in three sections that compared systematically the representations of awe in sixty picture book biographies of scientists (n = 60) and sixty picture book biographies of non-scientists (n = 60). The first two sections revealed that the frequency and centrality of awe-related content in the images and text of these materials was significantly higher for the former book type. The third section likewise uncovered differences in the representation of the situations where awe is experienced, as well as the characteristics of characters portrayed as experiencing this emotion between and within the two types of picture books. Together, these findings show that awe is an especially valued emotion in the culture of science communication and that the representation of this affective category in this domain is distinct to how it is represented in other spaces.","PeriodicalId":45375,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Science Education Part B-Communication and Public Engagement","volume":"1 1","pages":"143 - 156"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79605202","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}
