ABSTRACT
The study aims to examine
the public’s motives to participate in online lectures via
Zoom on scientific topics during the COVID-19 quarantine. A diverse audience
(age, education, gender, and scientific background) of 80 participants
(on average) joined the online lectures. We applied mixed methods to answer the
following questions: What are the motives of non-scientific participants to
take part in online scientific lectures through storytelling? Moreover, we
examined the implications of the stories on the participants. Using inductive
findings, we constructed a model based on storytelling methodology that engages
the audience in science. The teaching model we propose addresses science
discipline, but can be used for other fields of knowledge, with relevant
adjustments.
