Citizen Inquiry: Synthesising Science and Inquiry Learning is the first book of its kind to bring together the concepts of citizen science and inquiry-based learning to illustrate the pedagogical advantages of this approach. It shifts the emphasis of scientific investigations from scientists to the general public, by educating learners of all ages to determine their own research agenda and devise their own investigations underpinned by a model of scientific inquiry.‘Citizen inquiry’ is an original approach to research education that refers to mass participation of the public in joining inquiry-led scientific investigations. Using a range of practical case studies underpinned by the theory of inquiry-based learning, this book has significant implications for teaching and learning through exploration of how new technologies can be used to engage with scientific research. Key features include: a new perspective on science education and science practice through crowd-sourced research explanation of the benefits of this innovative approach to teaching and learning a steady shift of emphasis from theory to application for readers to understand thoroughly the current state of research in the field and its applications to practice examples of practical applications of this approach and recommendations on how successful citizen inquiry applications can be developed.This edited volume is essential reading for academic researchers and professional educators interested in the potential of online technology in all levels of education, from primary and secondary level through to further education and lifelong learning. It will be ideal reading on any undergraduate or postgraduate course involving research methods in education as well as developments in science education and educational software.

Education is the cornerstone of any society, and it serves as one of the foundations for many of its social values and characteristics. mis4TEL’24 promotes the interaction among the scientific community to discuss applications of Technology Enhanced Learning solutions targeting not only cognitive and social processes but also motivational, personality, or emotional factors. In addition, current trends concerning the use of Artificial Intelligence can help and augment learning opportunities for learners and educators. The 14th International Conference on Methodologies and Intelligent Systems for Technology Enhanced Learning (mis4TEL’24) technical program includes 29 contributions (17 full papers and 12 short papers). mis4TEL’24 is hosted by the BISITE Research Group of the University of Salamanca (Spain). We would like to thank all the contributing authors, the members of the Program Committee, National Associations (AEPIA, APPIA, and LASI), and the sponsors (AIR Institute).
