According to this chart, there are 67.4% of females and 29% of males. After analyzing the data, we find o ut that the responses and the respondent's gender are not directly related. However, we know females focus more on educational topics based on the percentage.
In this project, most of the first-hand information is from the interview with Learn by Space. To determine the value of our project, we sent out surveys to the public.
The age group of this survey is even, emphasizing its high reliability and validity. According to this chart, we found that 24.2% of respondents were under 14 years old, which was the most chosen option. Meanw hile, there were only 2.9% of respondents who were above 70 years old. We believe there were fewer elders because most of them seldom use electronic devices or communications. As a result, they had no way to fill out or even receive our survey.
In the survey we sent out, the largest number of respondents were 33.5% with a high school degree and 31% with a university degree. Junior high students are currently focusing more on their work and interests. They have less time to pay attention to new ways of education and related associations, which we suppose affect the result of this survey discussing new types of education.
In addition, having more respondents with different types of academic backgrounds could provide our survey with more diverse views and opinions.
According to this chart, there are 48.4% of respondents who were students. We believe the reason is that we sent out the survey through the school email. Meanwhile, our friends and classmates were all students who were studying in a school. The students may focus more on educational issues because they contact education every day at school. However, they would follow more on self-development, finding interest, etc. As a result, the students would learn less about the new ways and systems of education nowadays. They would choose “not sure” or “never heard of” when answering questions related to new ways of education in the survey.
Compared to the 11.6% of people who have heard about space education, the respondents of 62.6% who have not heard of it and 25.8% who are not sure about it are the majority. Also, 24.2% of the respondents are under 14 years old, which accounts for most of the survey. Most of them are students and may lack focus on new ways of education. Instead, they would rather pay more attention to the academic works of their learning phase.
The option “learn knowledge about space” is surely wrong, but there are still 11% of respondents who chose this answer. We believe the people who chose the wrong answer may be those 88.4% who were not sure about space education. It may also be the misunderstanding of translating to English about “space education” and “outer space education”. Therefore, we can observe that the background education and the environment could affect a person while making a guess through simple words of “space education”.
From this chart, we know that 92.3% of the respondents hadn’t heard about Learn by Space. The most reasonable explanation we could think of is that Learn by Space is a nonprofit organization founded in 2023, so the organization has fewer events. As a result, the public had fewer opportunities to learn more about Learn by Space.
According to this chart, 37.5% of the respondents learn about Learn by Space throughout the internet. It is the most chosen one out of 7 choices. On the other hand, 16.7% of the people knew this association by word of mouth from family or using social media. Then, in order of the number of people chosen, the options are newspapers and magazines, print advertisements, and television media. None of the respondents used the broadcast to learn about Learn by Space. Learn by Space has shared its curriculum and plans through social media and websites on the internet. As a result, the public learns about this association through social media and algorithms. Meanwhile, we believe no one chose to use radio because technology nowadays is convenient and fewer people use traditional broadcasts to receive new knowledge.
This question is for us to understand if the respondents really understand the goals and purpose of Learn by Space. According to the data we’ve collected, 87.5% of people chose the answer “participate in space education”, which was written on Learn by Space’s official website. We believe 12.5% of people chose the other answer in the survey because they do not understand Learn by Space deeply.
According to the pie chart, 66.7% of respondents agreed that space education is “using the design of the environment to lead children to learn across fields”. This answer is how the Learn by Space organization introduced itself on the official website. On the other hand, we believe AI is developing nowadays, and even assist and become a part of education. Therefore, 20.8% of respondents thought space education is for “Utilizing Artificial Intelligence(AI) technology to establish virtual classrooms”.
This is a question about personal opinions. According to the result from the chart, 75% of respondents agreed with the purpose of space education, 8.3% of them didn’t agree and 16.7% of people had a strong opinion. We believe 75% of people agreed with this concept, which represents the rise and development in the future. However, the 8.3% who disagreed and the 16.7% of people who had no opinion still exist, and the promoters could have more improvements on space education in the future.
In the responses, 83.3% of the respondents agreed and 16.7% disagreed. We couldn’t judge others' opinions. However, we compare the data and find out that only 75% of people agreed with space education but 83.3% of respondents could support the children from rural areas. We suspect that people with no opinions on space education also hope to improve education by decreasing the unfairness.
The SDGs are global goals created by the United Nations for the substantial development of the Earth. From the survey, we find out 70.8% of the respondents agreed that Learn by Space achieves “Goal:4 Quality Education”. There were also 62.5% of people who thought the concept was about “Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities”. Approximately 20% of the respondents chose other options. Learn by Space introduces themselves as “Goal 4: Quality Education” and “ Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth ''. The two SDGs are Learn by Space’s main concepts, but they also include small plans and goals at the same time. The plans include all the SDGs of the options we provided in the options. Therefore, we can know that the respondents who know this association could briefly explain the job and concepts of Learn by Space.
Of the 7 options we provided in the survey, most people, 30% of the respondents, chose “improve students’ creativity and imagination”. The second most popular choice was “increase diversified curriculum”, accounting for 23.5%. The third most chosen option was to cultivate students with “international communication skills”, which 23.3% of the respondents chose. From the data numbers, the distribution of the number of people in each option is even. We could infer that the public has various expectations of education, including students can link the world and multivariate curriculum. Therefore, we can expect to gain support and participation from the public while promoting new ways of education.
We provided four options from worst to best in the choices. Although 4% of the people think Taiwan’s education is perfect; however, 67.7% of the respondents thought it “needs improvement” and 26.1% of them thought it was only “good”. Combining the public’s perspective on education, we predict that most people in Taiwan are not satisfied with the education system that exists now. They may want to add more courses in line with future trends. This allows students to receive courses that could better express themselves with diverse education while connecting global standards, and the courses that could improve the students’ creativity.
