论文摘要

引诱天体物理系统(例如黑洞和中子恒星)的动态非常复杂,提供了大自然最壮观的现象,并以很少的受试者所能的方式捕捉了公众的想象力。在这里,我们描述了一个多媒体项目{\ it Astrotance},旨在让聋哑和听力(DHH)学生参与天文学和引力物理学。 {\ it Astrotance}结合了科学概念的多种表示方式,主要是在美国东北部的$ \ sim $ \ sim $ \ sim $ \ sim $ \ sim $ \ sim $ \ sim进行的,在历史性的首次发现引力波之前。作为{\ it Astrotance}项目的一部分,我们调查了$ \ sim $ 1000的听众成员在听力和DHH受众群体之间大致分配。尽管这两个小组都报告了表演的统计学上等效的高速享受,但DHH小组报告说,与听众相比,他们以统计学意义的速度有所了解的科学学历的数量。我们的发现表明,多感官方法使听力和聋人受众都受益,并为更广泛的群体提供了可访问的参与。

The dynamics of gravitating astrophysical systems such as black holes and neutron stars are fascinatingly complex, offer some of nature's most spectacular phenomena, and capture the public's imagination in ways that few subjects can. Here, we describe {\it AstroDance}, a multi-media project to engage deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) students in astronomy and gravitational physics. {\it AstroDance} incorporates multiple means of representation of scientific concepts and was performed primarily for secondary and post-secondary audiences at $\sim$20 venues in the northeastern US prior to the historic first detection of gravitational waves. As part of the {\it AstroDance} project, we surveyed $\sim$1000 audience members roughly split evenly between hearing and DHH audience members. While both groups reported statistically equivalent high-rates of enjoyment of the performance, the DHH group reported an increase in how much they learned about science at a statistically significant rate compared to the hearing audience. Our findings suggest that multi-sensory approaches benefit both hearing and deaf audiences and enable accessible participation for broader groups.
