Direct linkChang Xu – Journal of Museum Education, 2025
Museums are increasingly transforming from passive repositories of history and culture into dynamic spaces that facilitate interdisciplinary learning and active community engagement. This shift is evident in the integration of art and science within museum settings, which enhances public understanding of complex global challenges such as climate…

Trust in science post-COVID appears to be a complex matter. On the one hand, the COVID-19 pandemic added value to the epistemic trustworthiness of scientific opinion and its potential to drive evidence-based policies, while it also spurred scientific distrust and societal polarization (e.g., vaccines), especially on social media. In this work we…

Scoville, Caleb; Mooney, Heather – Teaching Sociology, 2023
Sociologists are engaging in a long-overdue reckoning about the place of the traditional canon in social theory courses and pedagogy. Instructors are revising their syllabi to include a more diverse set of authors while "provincializing" classics that have long been taught as universal. We confront the question of how to teach contested…

Based on theoretical frameworks of scientist stereotypes, possible selves, and science identity, written assignments were developed to teach science content through biographies and research of counter-stereotypical scientists--Scientist Spotlights (www.scientistspotlights.org). Previous studies on Scientist Spotlight assignments showed significant…

Ramos-Vielba, Irene; D'Este, Pablo – Studies in Higher Education, 2023
This paper examines women scientists' participation in Knowledge Exchange (KE) with nonacademic actors. We compare three KE types --informal engagement, formal engagement and commercialization-- and find significant differences in participation depending on type. In informal engagement, women and men participate equally, but women participate less…

Lenart-Gansiniec, Regina; Chen, Jin – Studies in Higher Education, 2023
Crowdfunding in research refers to raising funds by scientists for various research related tasks using crowdfunding platforms. In spite of growing academic interest, there is still a lack of understanding of the various aspects of the above concept. In particular, identification of antecedents, consequences, and limitations is important in…

In Pursuit of Mutual Benefits in School-Based Citizen Science: Who Wins What in a Win-Win Situation?
Atias, Osnat; Baram-Tsabari, Ayelet; Kali, Yael; Shavit, Ayelet – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
In a typical citizen science scenario different groups of people take on various roles in a research process that is often coupled with educational, social or personal objectives. A widely accepted viewpoint asserts that such an endeavor should bring benefits to all involved parties and that no participating individuals should act "in…

Zevenhuizen, Erik – American Biology Teacher, 2022
In 1900, three botanists claimed they had found regularities in inheritance, which soon would be known as Mendel's Laws, without knowing the work of Gregor Mendel or of each other. Their claims of independent (re)discovery have been thoroughly studied during the past decades, with various outcomes. The case is still of interest today as it offers…

Peters, Uwe; Krauss, Alexander; Braganza, Oliver – Cognitive Science, 2022
Many scientists routinely generalize from study samples to larger populations. It is commonly assumed that this cognitive process of scientific induction is a voluntary inference in which researchers assess the generalizability of their data and then draw conclusions accordingly. We challenge this view and argue for a novel account. The account…

Olga Vogel; Marcel Hunecke – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2024
The present study examines the influence of individual competencies on knowledge integration in inter- and transdisciplinary work. Perspective taking, reflexivity, analogical reasoning, and tolerance of ambiguity and uncertainty were investigated as core competencies for fostering knowledge integration. Additional hypotheses assumed that the…
