Participatory science and education: Bringing both views into focus

Abstract

Aligning the goals of scientists and participants becomes more challenging when citizen science moves into middle- and high-school classrooms. Here, we describe a logic model developed in association with the Acadia Learning Project, a collaboration among scientists, teachers, and students that successfully meets both research and educational needs. The logic model is intended to assist other classroom-based citizen-science initiatives with project design and evaluation. © The Ecological Society of America.
