Impact of the New York Hall of Science Career Ladder Program on its former Participants

May 1, 2002 | Public Programs
This guiding question for this evaluation conducted by ILI was to measure the long term impact of the NYHS SCL program on its participants. The SCL participants also known as Explainers are high school and college students who are paid employees for NYHS. Focus was on knowledge development and skill development specifically critical thinking, and problem solving and transfer of those skills to everyday life. The evaluation also attempted to gauge SCL graduates' perception of science and scientists, influence of the program on career planning, leisure time choices with respect to lifelong learning. The appendix of this report includes the survey protocol, telephone interview protocol, and an abbreviated survey for control group.
