Policy Brief: Integrating Citizen Science in Formal Education

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Insights from 333 teachers reveal that although citizen science presents untapped potential for education, systemic barriers such as extensive curriculums, lack of time and lack of training might hinder its integration into the schools’ activities. Results from a participatory bottom-up approach lead to relevant policy recommendations to advance citizen science as a powerful pedagogical approach.
