We are inviting #Teachers to participate in focus groups to know more about your perceptions & the use of #CitizenScience to find out how we can better support you in engaging your students! #aussieED Please fill in the form to indicate your availability https://t.co/yQGufLFfCr
Another one of my favourite advantages is "Future in Science." Students get to experience what #Scientists do, as well as experience careers and universities through participation, and was said to increase their interest in science careers! 👩🔬
By far, learning was the most frequently reported advantage for #student participation by #CitSci project leaders but some of these other hidden advantages are what really make #CitizenScience participation so special + powerful!
With #learning as a common advantage described from student #CitSci participation, it takes many forms & crosses disciplinary boundaries. #CitizenScience is perceived to increase awareness & excitement of science, develop scientific skills and scientific thinking.
Excitement was mentioned as a factor that motivates and engages students because #CitizenScience is a novel method to learn in many classrooms. One project leader even said, "bringing citizen science into the #classroom is really exciting and empowering and engaging."
Very excited to be presenting this Wednesday! I'll be sharing my findings from focus groups conducted with #CitizenScience project leaders about their experiences with #schools and #students@LBDScience
Our very own @ciarkenn will be presenting in #CitSciOz21, discussing initial findings from focus groups conducted with #CitizenScience project leaders.
Join us there!
We are looking for Australian school teachers to take part in one of our research surveys! If you have 10 minutes, please let us know how you use 'hands-on learning' in your classrooms. 🧑🏫📚👩🔬 #Teaching#aussieED

I've been talking to some amazing people for this research, but I'm still looking for a couple more people to participate! If you have any leads or know anyone, please share it around, or contact me at [email protected] 💃
Today we are happy to share some of the #research projects #LearningByDoing has been initiating over the past months, focused on examining the many #learning dimensions of #CitizenScience and engaging with our many stakeholders
@LBDScience also aims to explore different needs, approaches, & outcomes from incorporating #CitizenScience in schools. Stay tuned to hear updates on our progress 🙂
