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…

Önal, Nagihan Tanik – International Journal of Curriculum and Instruction, 2020
The purpose of the current study is to investigate gifted students' environmental awareness. A total of 147 gifted students attending a Science and Arts Centre (BILSEM) in the Central Anatolian Region in the spring term of the 2019-2020 school year participated in the current study. The data of the current study were collected by using the…

Canovan, Cherry – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2020
Science festivals are seen as a success story for public engagement with science, with numbers rapidly growing. However, research has shown that attendees at such events tend to be more affluent, better-educated and more interested in science than populations at large. This has led to calls for research into how festivals can widen participation…

Designing Mobile Learning with Education outside the Classroom to Enhance Marine Ecological Literacy
Eames, Chris; Aguayo, Claudio – Teaching and Learning Research Initiative, 2019
The aim of this study was to explore how purposeful educational design using mobile learning might enable integration of classroom and outside of classroom teaching and learning. It was based on a marine reserves learning experience at a primary school which connected with a marine science and conservation visitor centre. The researchers'…

Vesel, Judy; Robillard, Tara – Journal of Visual Literacy, 2017
Evidence suggests that content incorporated into science museum exhibits remains out of reach for many visitors who are deaf or hard of hearing and who communicate in sign language. The implementation research described in this article was conducted by TERC, Inc. at the Museum of Science (MoS), Boston. The purpose was to examine use of a mobile…

Noam, Gil G.; Allen, Patricia J.; Sonnert, Gerhard; Sadler, Philip M. – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2020
There has been a growing need felt by practitioners, researchers, and evaluators to obtain a common measure of science engagement that can be used in different out-of-school time (OST) science learning settings. We report on the development and validation of a novel 10-item self-report instrument designed to measure, communicate, and ultimately…
