本研究的目的是考虑科学事件（即，提供参与者参与科学相关活动的机会）有助于解决学生学习科学的积极性下降的问题。为了做到这一点，我们结合了纵向调查数据和参与数据，从科学活动，以调查是否动机学习科学的前因和/或后果，参加上述活动。结果表明，具有掌握方法目标和深入学习方法的学生更有可能参加科学活动。此外，参加这样的活动，促进了掌握方法目标和深入学习方法的发展。这些结果意味着，虽然科学活动可以促进学生学习科学的动机的发展变化，但它们可能会吸引少数学生从整个人口。我们讨论了科学事件的作用以及在未来的研究中应该解决的问题。
The aim of the present research was to consider whether scientific events (i.e., opportunities in which participants engage in science-related activities) can contribute to resolving the decline in students' motivation to learn science. In order to do so, we combined longitudinal survey data and participation data from scientific events to investigate whether motivation to learn science was the antecedent and/or consequence of participating in said events. The results showed that students with mastery-approach goals and a deep approach to learning were more likely to participate in a scientific event. In addition, participating in such an event enhanced the development of mastery-approach goals and the deep approach to learning. These results imply that, although scientific events can contribute to developmental changes in students' motivation to learn science, they might attract few students from the whole population. We discuss the role of scientific events and what should be addressed in future research.
