Transformative experience in science education

August 1, 2011
The relevance of this study to ISE educators lies primarily in the theoretical ideas about what the researchers call “transformative experience” in science education. A transformative experience was defined as one in which students are engaged and actively applying science concepts in their everyday life in new and meaningful ways; it is taking what is learned through formal science instruction and integrating it into everyday life so that students understand the world in a new way.
