Citizen Inquiry: Synthesising Science and Inquiry Learning is the
first book of its kind to bring together the concepts of citizen
science and inquiry-based learning to illustrate the pedagogical
advantages of this approach. It shifts the emphasis of scientific
investigations from scientists to the general public, by educating
learners of all ages to determine their own research agenda and
devise their own investigations underpinned by a model of
scientific inquiry. 'Citizen inquiry' is an original approach to
research education that refers to mass participation of the public
in joining inquiry-led scientific investigations. Using a range of
practical case studies underpinned by the theory of inquiry-based
learning, this book has significant implications for teaching and
learning through exploration of how new technologies can be used to
engage with scientific research. Key features include: a new
perspective on science education and science practice through
crowd-sourced research explanation of the benefits of this
innovative approach to teaching and learning a steady shift of
emphasis from theory to application for readers to understand
thoroughly the current state of research in the field and its
applications to practice examples of practical applications of this
approach and recommendations on how successful citizen inquiry
applications can be developed. This edited volume is essential
reading for academic researchers and professional educators
interested in the potential of online technology in all levels of
education, from primary and secondary level through to further
education and lifelong learning. It will be ideal reading on any
undergraduate or postgraduate course involving research methods in
education as well as developments in science education and
educational software.
