Activities using volunteered geographic information (VGI), geospatial data generated by nonprofessionals, provide an instructional approach that allows participants to work with big data—large, complex data sets—in a noncompetitive, cooperative environment. Research suggests that humanitarian mapping activities offer an effective means of teaching data literacy. What factors motivate student participation in VGI activities, and how can librarians leverage an understanding of these motivations to offer attractive data literacy services? This project seeks an answer by measuring student motivation across three mapping events. The results show that participants are driven by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors.

测量学生参与 GIS 数据活动的动机

使用志愿地理信息 (VGI)（由非专业人士生成的地理空间数据）的活动提供了一种教学方法，允许参与者在非竞争性、合作性的环境中处理大数据（大型复杂数据集）。研究表明，人道主义绘图活动提供了一种教授数据素养的有效手段。哪些因素促使学生参与 VGI 活动，图书馆员如何利用对这些动机的理解来提供有吸引力的数据素养服务？该项目通过衡量学生在三个映射事件中的动机来寻求答案。结果表明，参与者受到内在和外在因素的驱动。
