Direct linkMargolin, Jonathan; Ba, Harouna; Friedman, Lawrence B.; Swanlund, Andrew; Dhillon, Sonica; Liu, Feng – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2021
The "Playground Physics" program combines informal, play-based, embodied learning experiences to support middle school students' engagement with and motivation to learn about complex and abstract physics concepts. This experimental design study examines the impact of "Playground Physics" on students' science motivation,…

Price, C. Aaron; Kares, F.; Segovia, G.; Loyd, Aerika Brittian – Applied Developmental Science, 2019
We explore the understudied role of program staff in an out-of-school time (OST) program at a large science museum, which may be especially relevant for supporting underrepresented minority (URM) youth's interest in science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM) careers. Using a sequential explanatory mixed-method design, we surveyed 167 program…

Naizer, Gilbert; Hawthorne, Melissa J.; Henley, Tracy B. – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2014
Middle School students from rural school districts participated in a Summer STEM program with academic year follow-up requirements. Both males and females showed increased interest and confidence regarding math science, technology, and problem-solving. Furthermore, these gains continued beyond the immediate impact of Summer program participation…

Welch, Anita; Huffman, Douglas – School Science and Mathematics, 2011
This study was designed to examine the impact of participating in an after-school robotics competition on high school students' attitudes toward science. Specifically, this study used the Test of Science-Related Attitude to measure students' social implications of science, normality of scientists, attitude toward scientific inquiry, adoption of…
