Direct linkLittrell, Megan K.; Gold, Anne U.; Koskey, Kristin L. K.; May, Toni A.; Leckey, Erin; Okochi, Christine – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
The Transformative Experience Questionnaire (TEQ) has previously been used only in formal science learning environments to examine how students' learning experiences extend beyond the classroom into their daily lives. In the present study, an example of how this tool can be useful to assess transformative experiences in an informal learning…

Peer reviewedRath, Alex; Brown, David E. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1996
Analyzes videotape data of a summer science camp for elementary school children and characterizes students' orientations when exploring natural phenomena as modes of engagement. Reports that the six frequently observed orientations toward phenomena include exploration mode, engineering mode, pet care mode, procedural mode, performance mode, and…

Peer reviewedStake, Jayne E.; Mares, Kenneth R. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2001
Reports on an evaluation of the impact of two science enrichment programs on gifted high school students (n=330). Evaluates the programs using a multimethod, multiperspective approach that proves to be a comprehensive evaluation of program impact on science attitudes. (Contains 57 references.) (DDR)

Project Design Factors That Affect Student Perceptions of the Success of a Science Research Project.
Peer reviewedKimbrough, Doris R. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1995
Presents a detailed assessment of a summer national Science Foundation Young Scholars Program for ninth and 10th graders. Results indicate that students perceive program success (emphasis on project success) differently from teachers and program organizers. Identified six variables that must be incorporated appropriately into the design of a…

Peer reviewedWillson, Victor L.; Lawrenz, Frances – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1980
Examines effects of NSF institute participation by secondary teachers. Tests alternative hypotheses that (1) an increase in student achievement associated with teacher inservice work may be accompanied by more positive attitudes towards science; or (2) that teachers may increase their students' achievement at the expense of less positive science…

Peer reviewedOstlund, Karen; And Others – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1985
Investigated various factors related to a project designed to increase scientific literacy of two age groups by simultaneously exposing middle school children and their parents to short science courses. Findings, among others, show that parents and children made significant gains in learning and that they found the experience enjoyable and…

Peer reviewedTuckman, Bruce W.; Waheed, Mohammed A. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1981
Investigated whether a self-paced, individualized instruction course in chemistry and physics would result in: (1) greater level of achievement of academically underprepared students (N=80); (2) more satisfaction with instruction; and (3) more positive attitudes when compared with conventional instruction. Results indicate individualized treatment…
