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…
