  • Food for thought

    Open AccessBernard Bevan, Mark Rosin et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research in Science…2022

    Science communication aims to equip the public to become critical consumers of, advocates for, and sometimes producers of science. However, many studies suggest that audiences participating in such programs already benefit from strong cultural messages and social resources that encourage their engagement with science. The field is thus seeking to develop new models of science communication that can engage those who do not already seek out science…

  • The trouble with STEAM and why we use it anyway

    Open AccessSonia Mejía, Naomi Thompson et al.ARTICLEScience Education2021

    As an emerging field of theory, research, and practice, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) has received attention for its efforts to incorporate the arts into the rubric of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) learning. In particular, many informal educators have embraced it as an inclusive and authentic approach to engaging young people with STEM. Yet, as with many nascent fields, the conceptualiz…

  • The Sport Facilitators in Later Life Scale (SFLLS)

    Julie S Son, Stephanie T West et al.ARTICLEJournal of Leisure Research2021Citada por: 2Referencias: 5

    The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of a newly proposed scale, the Sport Facilitators in Later Life Scale (SFLLS). Based on empirical work, the authors developed a 30-item scale to measure middle-aged and older adults’ recreational sport facilitators, including items on municipal parks- and recreation-based facilitators. Among a national sample of 1207 adults aged 50 and older, factor analysis supported a three-fa…

  • The Main Course Was Mealworms

    Open AccessBernard Bevan, Sonia Mejía et al.ARTICLELeonardo2021Citada por: 2

    The authors share an emerging analytical approach to designing and studying STEAM programs that focuses on how programs integrate the respective epistemic practices-the ways in which knowledge is constructed-of science and art. They share the rationale for moving beyond surface features of STEAM programs (e.g. putting textiles and electronics on the same table) to the discipline-specific ways in which participants engage in creative inquiry and p…

  • Guerilla Science

    Mark Rosin, Jen Wong et al.ARTICLELeonardo2021Citada por: 2Referencias: 4

    Outreach activities at the interface of science and art present a unique opportunity to connect and engage with "latently interested" publics who do not otherwise take part in science activities such as visiting science museums. In this article, the authors present "Guerilla Science" as one model that supports the hypothesis that well-designed science and art (STEAM) programming in informal settings can broaden participation in and facilitate eng…
