Abstract

Citizen Science has emerged as a popular and widely used approach in scientific research. This study analyses CS research through the lens of themes, research locations, and data analysis methods. A systematic literature review employing the PRISMA method was conducted, resulting in the analysis of 45 relevant articles retrieved from the Science Direct database. The results indicate that environmental pollution (31%) and conservation (24%) were the most prevalent project topics within CS research. Questionnaires emerged as the dominant data collection technique, while quantitative analysis methods were more frequently employed. Furthermore, the geographical distribution of CS research revealed a concentration in America and Europe. Notably, the application of CS research remains limited in Asia and Africa. An additional finding suggests a gap in research focusing on educational themes, particularly those exploring the involvement of educatorstudents, a local traditional leader in Citizen Science ProjectKeywords: citizen science; research trends; systematic literature review

Abstract

The rapid changes in the world and the difficulties in accessing accurate information increase the need for individuals to engage in analytical and mathematical thinking. Therefore, educational reforms are being implemented, offering various approaches, including mathematical modeling. Mathematical modeling, which enables individuals to evaluate real-life situations using mathematical expressions, has recently been extensively studied in mathematical education but not science education. In this research, the topic of genetically modified organisms, a socio-scientific issue as a real-life situation, has been addressed. Sixteen prospective science teachers from a state university in the Marmara Region of Turkiye participated in the study. The “Genetically Modified Product Production” model eliciting activity developed by researchers was used as the data collection tool. The modeling activity aims to determine the prospective science teachers’ levels of mathematical modeling and their views on the production of genetically modified products. The data obtained from the research were analyzed using descriptive analysis methods. As a result of the research, although the participants encountered this activity for the first time, they generally demonstrated modeling competencies at Levels 2 and 3 (sufficient and moderate) in their solutions to the modeling activity. Regarding the production of genetically modified products, participants mainly expressed opposing views, considering it a socio-scientific issue.Keywords: socio-scientific issues, genetically modified organisms, mathematical modeling competencies
