K. C. Busch; Lynn Chesnut; Kathryn Stevenson; Lincoln Larson; Allison Black-Maier; Charles Yelton; Darrell Stover – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2024
This paper reports on the results of a research-practice partnership that included a U.S. university research team and a state-funded grants program that supports informal science education. The goal of the 2-year partnership was to develop an empirically-tested model for collaboration and capacity-building (CCB) in support of collective…

Gabrielle Rabinowitz; Katherine S. Moore; Safinah Ali; Mark Weckel; Irene Lee; Preeti Gupta; Rachel Chaffee – International Journal of STEM Education, 2025
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a machine learning (ML) integrated science curriculum implemented within the Science Research Mentorship Program (SRMP) for high school youth at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) over 2 years. The 4-week curriculum focused on ML knowledge gain, skill development, and self-efficacy, particularly…

Zarestky, Jill; Vilen, Lauren; Short, Rachel A.; Struminger, Rhonda; Michelle Lawing, A. – Adult Education Quarterly: A Journal of Research and Theory, 2022
An understanding of science concepts is important for living in modern society. Supporting adults' science learning can be particularly challenging because most adults no longer attend formal educational institutions where access and opportunities are facilitated by teachers and school-sponsored programs. Biological field stations (BFSs) are a…

Semmens, Kathryn; Fosbenner, Lauren; Maxfield, Keri; Carr, Rachel Hogan; Ramage, Joan; O'Leary, Jim; Larouche, Christine; Hayward, Jeff; Henderson, Maurice – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2021
The next generation of STEM professionals needs to understand interconnections between human and Earth systems to be able to address complex, multifaceted, emerging global environmental issues. Interest in STEM fields and professions can begin in middle school. To educate and connect middle school students to Earth systems and STEM fields, we…

Walker, Graham J.; Stocklmayer, Susan M.; Grant, Will J. – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2013
Science centres and other informal learning environments are increasingly becoming venues in which socioscientific issues are presented, sometimes with the aim of influencing attitudes and behaviour. This study investigated the effects of an HIV AIDS science theatre presentation on the behavioural intentions of 697 South African students, a…

Community for Advancing Discovery Research in Education (CADRE), 2012
When it comes to STEM education, the nation's K-12 public schools cannot do it all. The nature of 21st century proficiency in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics is too complex for any single institution. The good news is that schools do not have to do it alone. Museums, zoos, nature centers, aquariums, and planetariums are among the…

Lelliott, Anthony – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2010
This study describes how a group of grade 7 and 8 students in South Africa engaged with the notion of spatial scale in the Universe before, during and after a visit to an astronomy science centre. A limited amount of research has been conducted on this concept worldwide. Using a combination of concept maps, observations and interviews, results…
