Research on the Practical Path of Science Popularization Volunteer Service Assisting Rural Revitalization: A Case Study of “Jiyi Science Popularization Club” at Three Gorges University
Science popularization volunteer service plays an important role in promoting rural revitalization. Taking the "Jiyi Science Popularization Club" at Three Gorges University as an example, this paper explores the practical path of science popularization volunteer service in rural revitalization. Firstly, this study adopts field investigation, questionnaire survey, and in-depth interview methods to gain insight into the status of science popularization education among rural youth. A total of 3250 valid questionnaires were collected, revealing issues such as the lack of atmosphere, inadequate resources, and incomplete science popularization education system in rural areas of Guizhou and Hubei provinces in China. Secondly, the organizational structure, activity content, and service targets of the "Jiyi Science Popularization Club" at Three Gorges University are introduced, along with its specific measures in rural revitalization practice. Finally, recommendations are proposed to further promote the role of science popularization volunteer service in rural revitalization, including organizing training for science popularization volunteer service organizations, establishing mutual assistance science popularization bases in universities, building a comprehensive science popularization curriculum system, creating natural science popularization projects tailored to local characteristics, and implementing an integrated science popularization model combining online and offline activities. This study aims to delve into the potential and value of science popularization volunteer service in rural revitalization, providing theoretical and practical support for rural revitalization efforts.
