Why is it important?
With the elephant population declining due to habitat loss and environmental issues, it is crucial to raise public awareness and promote conservation efforts. This research highlights the potential of interactive sensory art exhibitions as an engaging and memorable way to educate people about such critical topics. By demonstrating long-term retention of information from the exhibition, the study supports the use of multi-modal learning in raising awareness and encourages further research into the effectiveness of such approaches.
Perspectives
Working on this study was an enlightening experience that showcased the power of interactive sensory art exhibitions in raising awareness of important issues like endangered species conservation. The lasting impact of the "Elephant Tales" exhibition on participants' memory and understanding of the issue underscores the value of such immersive experiences in engaging the public. I hope that this research will inspire more initiatives that leverage interactive and multi-modal learning to educate people about crucial environmental and conservation issues, ultimately driving positive change in our world.
