APPRAISE Data Collection Workbook 2

March 17th, 2023 | RESEARCH

The "Exhibit appraisal and diverse populations: Pilot research about intersectional and science identities in science exhibits" (APPRAISE) project team worked extensively with minoritized youth between the ages of 9 and 17, including youth of color, girls and non-binary youth, and youth with disabilities, to create a research protocol that can: 

  • Complexify our understandings of youth identity
  • Support youth metacognition about their identities and appraisals of museum exhibits
  • Provide a scaffolded approach for youth to have conversations with museum professionals that inform exhibit design

The protocol is composed of two workbooks. This is the second workbook which takes youth through a process of previewing exhibits and providing initial appraisals and then using exhibits providing post appraisals and outcome information. To facilitate this data collection, the workbook includes multiple copies of a pre-exhibit use appraisal survey and multiple copies of a post-exhibit exhibit use appraisal and outcome survey.
