Presentation on NSF grant DRL-1010938 (Saving Species: Socially-Networked Exhibits for Science Inquiry and Public Action) presented at the CAISE Convening on Sustainability Science and Informal Science Education, February 6th, 2012.
With the line between research and evaluation blurring, more ISE projects are employing evaluation and must now meet formal requirements for protecting human subjects. What ethical and legal considerations do you need to take into account in order to evaluate the effectiveness of your work in informal science education? What steps should you take to deal with the federal government’s requirements? In this workshop, we will discuss a range of topics related to these requirements and how PIs can effectively address them. By reviewing different evaluation scenarios, participants will consider the
