论文摘要
该研究旨在促进对软物质的认识和教育,这已成为流行的研究主题,因为它有能力为诸如自我修复材料等众多行业开发自组装材料。为了在此目标之后追求,我们制作了一个自制视频,以说明软件概念,然后分发态度前/态度的调查,以评估视频对提高软件意识的有效性。该调查显示,该视频平均有效地激发了与软物质有关的知识,研究和职业的公共利益。此外,参与者要求更多的投资和软件教育,这表明WPI为发展软件教育提供了更多资源。
The study aims to promote the awareness and education of soft matter which has become a popular research topic owing to its capability of developing self-assembling materials for numerous industries such as self-healing materials. To pursue after this aim, we composed a homemade video to illustrate the soft matter concepts, followed by distributing a pre/post attitudinal survey to evaluate the effectiveness of the video on promoting the awareness of soft matter. The survey showed that the video effectively stimulated the public interest in soft matter-related knowledge, research, and careers by 27.8 percent on average. Moreover, the participants demanded more investment and soft matter education, suggesting that WPI provide more resources on developing soft matter education.
