Sanças escolares em Lancashire descobrirão como a vida mudou em seus bairros, graças a um novo projeto de pesquisa e engajamento público da Universidade de Lancashire Central (UCLAN). Histórias sobre como era a vida nos tempos anteriores. Eles participarão de uma série de workshops, onde entenderão como as viagens evoluíram com o tempo e imaginarão como será o futuro da viagem na próxima década. Eles gerarão idéias para isso que se tornarão sua visão de viajar, juntamente com sua própria coleção de pesquisas do censo de familiares e amigos para gerar histórias. Disse: “Nosso projeto visa envolver os jovens locais na história de sua área, com foco neles, descobrindo como a vida local mudou com o tempo. O envolvimento da próxima geração fornecerá grande benefício para entender as sociedades passadas e presentes e prever possíveis futuros. ”
To coincide with the upcoming national census, pupils from St Augustine’s Catholic Primary School, in Preston, and Kirkham St Michael’s Church of England Primary School will look at previous censuses and create stories about what life was like in previous times.
The young researchers, aged between seven and nine, will focus on the themes of live, work and play. They will participate in a series of workshops where they will understand how travel has evolved over time and imagine what the future of travel will be like in the next decade. They will generate ideas for this which will become their vision of travelling, coupled with their own collection of census research from family and friends to generate stories.
These stories and proof of concept ideas will feed an online interactive storytelling platform, established to disseminate the work and create further opportunities for the public to engage and share their visions of future travel.
Project leader Dr Richard Weston, an expert in data analysis and statistics at UCLan, said: “Our project aims to engage local youngsters in the history of their area with a focus on them discovering how local life has changed over time.
“Census data is important and provides a fascinating insight to what life was like at that specific moment in time. Engaging the next generation will provide great benefit to understanding societies’ past and present and predict possible futures.”
Devido a medidas rigorosas do covid-19, a equipe de pesquisa pré-recorde materiais de vídeo, realizará as sessões de vídeo e fornecem informações e lençóis para os professores para facilitar as marcas de aula. Co-design e prototipagem na ciência e design da computação, e a professora Janet Read, especialista em projetar e avaliar tecnologias para crianças, estão envolvidos no projeto, juntamente com o Dr. Nick Davies, da Universidade de Glasgow, que é uma experiência em que a Remonsing e a Remest Bailt e a Remons da Comunicação de Referência e a Remons de Viagem. plausível em vez de viável. À medida que o censo evolui em um formato on -line, é importante reconhecer o que a geração futura entende sobre os dados do censo e o que é possível avançar - reimaginar o futuro aprendendo com o passado. ” Censo 2021 Fund.
UCLan’s Dr Mark Lochrie, lecturer and researcher with expertise in co-design and prototyping within computer science and design, and Professor Janet Read, an expert in designing and evaluating technologies for children, are involved in the project along with Dr Nick Davies, from Glasgow Caledonian University. He will provide experience in co-designing community research and data analysis on travel behaviour.
Dr Weston added: “With the right context and tools, a child’s imagination is the key to unlocking what’s preferable, possible and plausible rather than feasible. As the census evolves in an online format, it is important to acknowledge what the future generation understand about Census data and what’s possible moving forward – reimagining the future by learning from the past.”
UCLan has received nearly £10,000 from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), part of UK Research and Innovation, to undertake this project as part of the Engaging the public with Census 2021 fund.
