TY - JOUR TT - CITIZEN SCIENCE PROJECT NUCLEAR E-COLOGY; SCHOOL STUDENTS’ KNOWLEDGE ON X-RAY AND NUCLEAR PHYSICS AU - Wibig, Tadeusz AU - Dam-o, Punsiri PY - 2016 DA - September JF - The Eurasia Proceedings of Educational and Social Sciences JO - EPESS PB - ISRES Publishing WT - DergiPark SN - 2587-1730 SP - 85 EP - 92 VL - 5 KW - Citizen science KW - modern physics education KW - comparative studies N2 - We studied the basic knowledge of the nuclear(modern) physics of the high school students participating in our  citizen science project “nuclear e-cology”.The initial test was conducted before they start any activity.  The test was designed for quick answers. Itconsists of ten multiple choice questions. The test participants can completeit, available also on the internet, with unlimited time. We wish to presenthere some results. They were analyzed in four categories: all together, bycountry, by educational level and by gender. Results are based on 223 testanswers from Polish, Thai and Russian students. This knowledge have been usedfor preparations and improvement of the educational materials used in the“nuclear e-cology” project. CR - Dam-o P., (2015).
