- Scrollytelling as a strategy for socio-environmental engagement: a digital citizen science narrative approach(2024-07-03) Sanabria Zepeda, Jorge Carlos; Artemova, Inna; Félix Mendívil, Jesús Gabriel; Olivo Montaño, Pamela Geraldine; Tecnologico de Monterrey, Institute for the Future of Education; Tecnologico de Monterrey, School of Architecture, Art and Design; Universitat Politècnica de ValènciaThe popularity of citizen science projects is widespread, particularly those related to socio-environmental issues. However, its dissemination through traditional science communication channels such as scientific journals lack the ability to reach and engage young audiences. In the context of higher education, a didactic pilot activity was implemented in which students from various disciplines participated in a five-week analysis of citizen science projects. The main objective was to design a digital interactive narrative that not only informed about the project, but also made it accessible and attractive to a young audience through scrollytelling (scrolling + storytelling), a multimedia interactive vertical digital storytelling technique. The Design Process and Practice methodology was adopted including phases of research, analysis, design and development of interactive digital content. Literature related to the public communication of science and the educational use of digital narratives was reviewed to identify effective outreach strategies. The main findings revealed that scrollytelling development facilitates a deeper understanding of the socio-environmental aspects addressed by citizen science projects, while promoting engagement and interaction of young audiences. This didactic approach proves to be an innovative strategy in higher education for teaching science and sustainability, providing students with practical tools for effective communication of science projects to society.
- Mobile app prototype for citizen science:towards the development of complex thinking(2023-06-29) Sanabria Zepeda, Jorge Carlos; Molina Espinosa, José Martín; Artemova, Inna; Alfaro Ponce, Berenice; Tecnologico de Monterrey, Institute for the Future of Education / School of Architecture, Arts and Design (EAAD); https://ror.org/03ayjn504; Polytechnic University of PortoMobile technology applied to citizen science has helped renovate its meaning and educational impact. Numerous apps collect data, identify species, monitor the environment, and educate and disseminate science, which can impact citizens' engagement and complex thinking, among other aspects. However, developing citizen-science-related apps is not yet considered a priority or standard to address in the design stage. Therefore, we present a case study on developing a citizen science mobile app whose prototype was evaluated through the eight components of the Threshold for Citizen Science projects. We offer the results of an online focus group that answered trigger questions regarding the app's objective and the development of complex thinking. The results showed the limitations and strengths of the prototype, leading to a better consideration of the components of the Threshold for a more comprehensive impact on its subsequent development. By documenting this case study and the evaluation process, we intended to support other studies seeking to apply the Threshold to evaluate the impact of citizen-science mobile applications.
- Open platform prototype for technocreative labs:case-based assessment to enhance complex thinking(2023-06-29) Sanabria Zepeda, Jorge Carlos; Artemova, Inna; Alfaro Ponce, Berenice; Tecnologico de Monterrey, Institute for the Future of Education / School of Architecture, Art, and Design (EAAD); https://ror.org/03ayjn504; https://ror.org/043xj7k26; Polytechnic University of PortoEmerging Industry 4.0 demands for the continuous reskilling and upskilling of researchers and employees indicate the need to develop complex thinking in higher education students through training in applied research projects at the international level. This work uses the research case methodology to showcase the creation of a virtual technocreative platform prototype through sequential activities for the progressive development of complex thinking at the undergraduate level in international partnership research between Mexico and Canada. The study process applied the observation method. The findings were: a) research activities promote the development of complex thinking; b) a logical sequence of contextualized activities can enhance complex thinking; and c) international collaboration triggers complex thinking. The work emphasized innovative thinking through supervised interdisciplinary work and students acquiring inquiry skills through real-life problem-solving. The highly contextualized, sequenced activities can be replicated in other educational projects that involve international collaboration.
