让观众在戏剧作品中扮演主角提供了创造变革性体验的令人兴奋的潜力。本章从提供非正式科学学习（ISL）体验的角度探讨了这种方法，这种体验对人口统计学上不太可能获得ISL的受众具有高度的吸引力。生活在社会经济劣势的儿童以及一些黑人和黑人遗产儿童在科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）学科和职业中的代表性不足，并且倾向于将科学视为“不适合我”（Archer, mote, Macleod, Francis, & DeWitt, 2020； Archer等人，2021;Gutman & Akerman, 2008； IET, 2008; McDonald, 2014; Reiss & Mujtaba, 2017； TISME, 2013）。围绕这种缺乏代表性的证据已被纳入“科学资本”的认识论范式，该范式基于布迪厄的“文化资本”概念，并由路易丝·阿彻及其同事发展。在她的工作中，Archer建议支持学生建立积极的科学认同可能会加强科学资本，而增强积极的科学认同的一种方法是通过成功参与ISL活动（Archer, Dawson, DeWitt, Seakins, & Wong, 2015; DeWitt, Archer, & Mau, 2016）。
Casting the audience as the lead characters in a dramatic production offers exciting potential to create transformative experiences. This chapter explores this approach from the perspective of providing informal science learning (ISL) experiences that are highly engaging for audiences who are demographically less likely to access ISL.Children living with socio-economic disadvantages and some Black and Black-heritage children are under-represented in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects and careers and tend to see science as ‘not for me’(Archer, Moote, Macleod, Francis, & DeWitt, 2020; Archer et al., 2021; Gutman & Akerman, 2008; IET, 2008; McDonald, 2014; Reiss & Mujtaba, 2017; TISME, 2013). The evidence surrounding this lack of representation has been incorporated into the epistemological paradigm of ‘science capital’, which is based on Bourdieu’s concept of ‘cultural capital’and was developed by Louise Archer and colleagues. In her work, Archer suggests that supporting students to build a positive science identity might bolster science capital, and that one way to enhance positive science identity is through successful engagement in ISL activities (Archer, Dawson, DeWitt, Seakins, & Wong, 2015; DeWitt, Archer, & Mau, 2016).
