Evolutionary understanding is central to biology. It is also an essential prerequisite to understanding and making informed decisions about societal issues such as climate change. Yet, evolution is generally poorly understood by civil society and many misconceptions exist. Citizen science, which has been increasing in popularity as a means to gather new data and promote scientific literacy, is one strategy through which people could learn about evolution. However, despite the potential for citizen science to promote evolution learning opportunities, very few projects implement them. In this paper, we make the case for incorporating evolution education into citizen science, define key learning goals, and suggest opportunities for designing and evaluating projects in order to promote scientific literacy in evolution.
进化理解是生物学的核心。它也是理解和就气候变化等社会问题做出明智决策的必要前提。然而，进化通常被民间社会所误解，存在许多误解。公民科学作为一种收集新数据和促进科学素养的手段，越来越受欢迎，是人们了解进化的一种策略。然而，尽管公民科学有可能促进进化学习机会，但很少有项目实施这些机会。在本文中，我们提出了将进化教育纳入公民科学的理由，定义了关键的学习目标，并提出了设计和评估项目的机会，以促进进化方面的科学素养。
