Everyday moments doing science shape interest and identity

January 1, 2015 | Media and Technology, Public Programs, Exhibitions, Informal/Formal Connections
Current science education reforms emphasize the ways in which students’ scientific practices, such as experimenting, collecting data, and interpreting results, develop over time. Bricker and Bell suggest that practices develop not only over time, but also across multiple settings and opportunities. Their study shows how, over several years, one youth’s identification with science was shaped by many everyday moments, social configurations, and collaborators.
