“…For exhibitions to be engaging, the exhibit design process needs to take care of the needs of the visitor. We propose an iterative design process that integrates mandatory assessments of visitor engagement parameters into the design process using the Engagement Profile, formerly denoted as the Visitor Engagement Installation (VEI) Profile [1] and real-time visitor engagement studies [1,2].…”

Museums and science centres are informal education environments that intend to engage visitors with their exhibits. We present an efficient design process that allows an improved working relationship between museum practitioners, exhibition designers, and visitors. Its principles and a graphical representation are based on the Engagement Profile from previous work. Curators and designers evaluate the qualities of exhibits using the engagement profile while visitors inform the design process by answering a standardised questionnaire. Elements of the design process were evaluated using an educational game at the science centre Engineerium. This study was based on the responses from over five hundred visitors to the science centre. As an outcome, the science centre received valuable information of how to improve the exhibit. Further, one iteration of the design process was implemented in practice. First experiences show that our method will practically support the work of museum practitioners and exhibition designers.

“…We found that the mean value of the responses for "I liked the experiment", "I want to repeat the experiment", and "I recommend the experiment" on a Likert scale from 2 to 7 for all participants and all experiments were 4.4, 4.3 and 4.2, respectively, i.e., they were on the positive side (>4.0). These values can be used as a proxy for engagement [50]. High ratings for these variables cannot be expected, as the participation in the study was mandatory for the students.…”

“…The questions of the micro-surveys, given in Table 4, reflected whether the participants liked an experiment, recommendation to others, the willingness to use the experiment again, and which of the three experiments they liked best. These factors can give a good indication of whether a participant liked an experiment [50]. Additionally, we asked for a self-report on pre-visit knowledge.…”

Strengthening Engagement in Science Understanding with Learning Trails

The Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology has developed a learning concept for school classes in science centres named “learning trails”. In this concept, groups of students perform a series of thematically related experiments with installations in the science centre. The learning trails are designed to support the generic learning outcomes for science centre visits. We argue that the previously developed Engagement Profile can be used to translate exhibit properties into both media forms and generic learning outcomes for such learning concepts. Further, we implemented the learning trails in two modes: one mode used paper-based content to guide the students, while the other mode supported the use of tablet PCs where engaging content is triggered when the students approach the location of an experiment in the learning trail. We studied the engagement factors of the learning trails and observed how school classes use these. In a study with 113 students from lower secondary school (age 16), they answered short questionnaires that were integrated into the implementation of the learning trails. While the concept of the learning trails was evaluated positively, we could not find significant differences in how engaging the two implemented modes were.

Organised hiking and trekking tours are promoted by many providers in adventure travel. Such guided tours shall be engaging for the tourists and evoke positive attitudes towards enjoying nature. We present the Trekking Engagement Profile as a tool to evaluate engagement factors of such guided tours, based on engagement research performed in a different domain, namely evaluating engagement in museums and science centres. This tool shall strengthen guides’ soft skills and enable them to increase engagement during an ongoing arrangement. For instance, the Trekking Engagement Profile can be applied when tourists indicate that the quality of a guided tour is not entirely to their liking. We show the viability of using the Trekking Engagement Profile in a small study with guides and participants of trekking tours offered by the Norwegian Trekking Association. Further, we offer guidance and charts to promote its practical use.
