摘要

加强年轻人的科学素养和公民参与是合作推广的重要教育目标。我们在五所学校实施了为期三年的青年参与性行动研究项目。YPAR方法结合了科学学习和公民参与,使青年在成人促进者的帮助下,决定一个社区问题进行研究、设计和实施他们的研究,然后根据研究结果规划一个服务项目来解决这个问题。我们探讨了青年和教育工作者对哪些项目因素影响青年参与的看法,研究了青年科学和公民相关学习的机会,并要求教育工作者反思他们自己的学习和发展。利用青年焦点小组和教育者访谈产生的数据,我们发现YPAR将科学学习建立在年轻人的生活经验基础上。它还通过提高年轻人对社区问题的批判意识,为科学学习提供了一种有意义的方法。YPAR可以在其他扩展项目中使用,以增加更深入和持续参与学习经验的动机。

Youth participatory action research: Integrating science learning and civic engagement
Strengthening young people's scientific literacy and civic engagement are important educational goals for Cooperative Extension. We implemented youth participatory action research (YPAR) projects over three years at five schools. The YPAR approach integrates science learning and civic engagement by empowering youth, with the help of adult facilitators, to decide upon a community issue to research, design and implement their research, and then plan a service project based on research findings to address the issue. We explored young people's and educators' perspectives on which project elements influenced youth participation, examined opportunities for youth science and civic-related learning, and asked educators to reflect on their own learning and development. Using data generated from youth focus groups and educator interviews, we found that YPAR grounds science learning in young people's lived experience. It also provides a meaningful approach to science learning through raising young people's critical consciousness of community issues. YPAR may be used in other extension programs to increase motivation for deeper and sustained participation in learning experiences.
