Usefulness and Biases

Essentially....

  • animals that are in zoos for educational purposes should be chosen carefully based on their popularity among the visitors

Findings

  • mammals the most viewed
  • amphibians and fish came in second
  • last place were birds

Research Methods

  • popular attractions guests viewed at and stayed the longest were mammals, species larger in size, and with a higher activity level
  • physically observing guests at different exhibits and measured the time in seconds for how long they watched the animals
  • while also recorded which animals were watched
  • believe that if a significant number of guests appear to find some species more appealing than others, then it is possible to agree that the highly favoured species are more educationally valuable

Summary

  • study published in 2010
  • both involved in North of England Zoological Society at the Chester Zoo in the UK

Thesis

  • how the learning effectiveness for visitors is correlational to the attention that a given species receives and the interest that the visitors expresses in them

Perhaps some species will result in being more popularly viewed than others?
