Evaluation of Citizen Science projects on teaching and learning methods

Project Lead: Johannes Starkbaum
Team: Elisabeth Frankus, Milena Wuketich
Duration: 2019–2021
Funding: The evaluation for the funding program "Creation of digital teaching and learning materials with Citizen Science methods" is carried out on  behalf of the "Austrian agency for international mobility and cooperation in education, science and research" (OeAD). The program is funded by the Austrian Innovation Foundation for Education (IfB) and managed by OeAD.


The IfB is currently funding a number of projects that develop digital teaching and learning materials using Citizen Science methods. In addition to pedagogical impulses, transformation processes in the education and research system are to be stimulated. The Techno-Science and Societal Transformation research group at the Institute for Advanced Studies (IHS) reflects on this process and the participatory elements of the projects. The aim of the evaluation is to develop empirically based guidelines for the creation of digital teaching and learning materials using Citizen Science methods.
