Alignment of Citizen Science and Environmental Education

This systematic literature review focuses on the alignment of community and citizen science (CCS) with environmental education (EE) to explore common outcomes and recommendations for design and implementation. Key aspects, outcomes, and future research directions are investigated through methods like abstract screening and keyword search. The project aims to understand how CCS and EE work together theoretically and practically towards environmental and educational goals.

1. eeWorks: Citizen Science and Environmental Education A Systematic Literature Review Amanda Lindell, Heidi Ballard, Chris Jadallah & Erin Bird

2. The Project Part of a larger collaboration to collect the evidence of environmental education Our goal is to understand how community and citizen science (CCS) and environmental education (EE) are working toward common outcomes education.ucdavis.edu/ccs @UCDavisCCS 2

3. Research Questions What are the key aspects/ways that CCS and environmental education are aligned theoretically, with respect to pedagogy, approach, and outcomes? What common environmental and education outcomes have been measured within the context of CCS? What are recommendations for design and implementation of CCS for EE? What are the identified directions for future research? education.ucdavis.edu/ccs @UCDavisCCS 3

4. Methods Screen Abstracts Full Text Review Full Text Coding Search education.ucdavis.edu/ccs @UCDavisCCS 4

5. Keyword Search SEARCH ("citizen science" or "community science" or "public participation in science research" or "PPSR" or "public monitoring" or "participatory mapping" or "participatory modeling" or "participatory monitoring" or volunteer monitoring or community-based participatory research or CBPR or crowdsourcing ) (learning or education or student or engagement or development) 1650 (environment* or sustain* or ecology or conservation or biodiversity) 5

6. ABSTRACT SCREEN Decision Tree In English, peer-reviewed, not a book review, not an unpublished conference paper Meets basic requirements? 18 Self-identifies as a community and citizen science project? 246 Knowledge of environmental science, environmental science skills, environmentally responsible behavior change, attitude toward the environment, participation in environmental science Meets the definition of EE? 945 68 Full Text Review 373 Remain education.ucdavis.edu/ccs @UCDavisCCS 6

7. ABSTRACT SCREEN Challenges in CCS criteria Self identity in using CCS and/or participatory methodologies Not enough information in abstract to evaluate adherence to principles of the methodologies ("citizen science" or "community science" or "public participation in science research" or "PPSR" or "public monitoring" or "participatory mapping" or "participatory modeling" or "participatory monitoring" or volunteer monitoring or community-based participatory research or CBPR or crowdsourcing ) education.ucdavis.edu/ccs @UCDavisCCS 7
