Setioko, Wahyu; Ding, Lin – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2023
This study explores parents' views of science as a family sociocultural background that influences how parents support children's science talk as they engage in a science activity together at home. We focus on Indonesian families as they have distinct sociocultural characteristics that may yield different parent-child interactions than their…

Gathings, M. J.; Peterman, Karen – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2021
This article presents findings from a secondary study of science capital within the context of U.S. science festivals. Drawing on attendee survey data from eleven science festivals across the United States (n = 1,645) and evaluation surveys from a statewide school-based festival program (n = 2,320), we explore the concept of science capital (i.e.…

Burke, Lydia E. Carol-Ann; Navas Iannini, Ana Maria – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2021
In this article, we explore how children of late elementary to middle school age, from low-income communities in an East-Central metropolitan area of Canada, described their interests in and attitudes toward science in an out-of-school science club program. We used the children's descriptions of emotional engagement to gain insights into the…
