Abstract Sackey N, Meyer C, Weingart P. Citizen science and learning outcomes: assessment of projects in South Africa. <em>Journal of Science Communication</em>. 2024;23(03). - This study assessed educational goals and learning outcomes in 57 citizen science projects in South Africa. Emphasising data collection as the primary objective, the findings revealed a secondary focus on environmental awareness, protection, and management, as well as education and research advancement. Notably, educational goals were often not prioritised, and formal measures for assessing learning outcomes were infrequently employed by project leaders. The study underscores the necessity for systematic approaches to evaluate the educational impacts of citizen science projects in South Africa.
