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”的概念开发评估工具，该概念包括：对科学的迷恋，重视科学，感知自主权，能力信念和参与科学意义建构。这使得能够评估成绩测试分数之外的更广泛的结果。该项目将以研究活动为基础，将这些发现转化为可用于11-15岁青年的正式和非正式环境的措施、调查和协议，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.
