The Activation Approach: A Comprehensive Method and Toolkit for Evaluating the Impact of Science Learning Experiences Across Environments

该项目围绕“科学激活”这一概念开发了评估工具，这一概念包括：迷恋科学、重视科学、感知自主性、能力信念和参与科学制造。这使得对成绩测试分数以外的更广泛的结果进行评估。该项目将建立在研究活动的基础上，并将这些结果转化为可在11-15岁青年的正式和非正式环境中使用的测量、调查和方案。通过该项目开发的工具和工具包将帮助其他组织收集、分析和解释类似的数据。

The project develops evaluation tools around the concept of "science activation" a construct that includes: fascination with science, valuing science, perceived autonomy, competency belief, and engagement in scientific sensemaking. This enables evaluation of a broader range of outcomes beyond achievement test scores. The project will build on research activities and turn those findings into measures, surveys, and protocols that can be used in both formal and informal settings with 11-15-year old youth.The instruments and toolkit developed through the project will help other organizations to collect, analyze and interpret similar data.
