- 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.
- Enabling reusable educational resources for holistic citizen science impact: a complex thinking approach(2024) Sanabria Zepeda, Jorge Carlos; Molina Espinosa, José Martín; Olivo Montaño, Pamela Geraldine; Alfaro Ponce, Berenice; Tecnologico de Monterrey; https://ror.org/03ayjn504; Instituto Politécnico de BraganzaOpen Educational Resources on citizen science are advancing in parallel with Education 4.0. However, few are truly reusable and therefore do not achieve a comprehensive impact. Based on the Design Thinking methodology, enabled through the Action Research methodology, a model that will generate reusable Open Educational Resources on Citizen Science projects to communicate the essence of a citizen science project according to the particular needs of any audience taking into account its holistic impact based on framework of the threshold Typology for Citizen Science Projects (TCSP) through various multimedia formats. The findings were: (a) through continuous adaptation, OER in Citizen Science projects are a tool to reach a broader population, which can translate into educational achievements with greater impact (b) identifying specific criteria in citizen science projects will allow configuring OER that communicate more optimally to a target audience and (c) the search for tools to achieve broad reach for citizen science projects and thus, support the democratization of science can be solved from OER, which with continued adaptation, will surely evolve and mature, and lead to richer and more impactful educational outcomes for all. The implications of this study will allow the identification of various elements for the design of OER that can be adapted and reused based on the established objectives and a specific audience. This opens a window for other research that addresses the education of the future and its innovation for the implementation of the model proposed here.
- 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.
