STEMulating Interest: A Meta-Analysis of the Effects of Out-of-School Time on Student STEM Interest (2016, background): “STEM OST programs have increased substantially (Bell et al., 2009) summaries of their effectiveness as means to foster STEM interest remain elusive (Adams et al.”
Out-of-School Time Science Activities and Their Association with Career Interest in STEM (2012, methodology): “science groups/clubs/camps, and science and mathematics competitions (Bell et al., 2009).”
Biodiversity citizen science: Outcomes for the participating citizens (2021, methodology): “In particular, the framework is based on informal education frameworks by Friedmann et al. (2008), Bell et al. (2009) and Bonney, Ballard, et al. (2009).”
STEM Education in Early Childhood: A Review of Empirical Studies (2020, positive): “However, there is a discussion in the literature on the informal learning (National Research Council, 2009) that caregivers may not always see their role in the learning process.”
Assessing Exhibits for Learning in Science Centers: A Practical Tool (2010, background): “However, most of the literature and research in this field clearly shows that the informal setting of the science center is a rich learning environment that nurtures curiosity, improves motivation and attitudes toward science, engages the visitors through participation and social interaction and gen”
Science communication training: what are we trying to teach? (2017, background): “One of the most important contributions of the science learning model developed by the 2009 report on learning science in informal settings (Bell et al., 2009) is the inclusion of ‘identity’ in learning.”
An Informal Science Education Program’s Impact on STEM Major and STEM Career Outcomes (2020, background): “Second, as self-selection and institutional bias remain as criticisms of studies of ISE programs (Bell 2009), future studies should work to circumvent these problems.”
Understanding the Quality of Out‐of‐Class English Learning (2015, background): “…of learning outcomes were included because the impact of out-of-class learning far exceeds conventional cognitive outcomes, and confidence and enjoyment are possible affective outcomes from such learning experience (Author, under review; Bell et al., 2009; Blyth & LaCroix-Dalluhn, 2011).”
A theory of learning for the mobile age: learning through conversation and exploration across contexts (2010, neutral): “Computing is also becoming more durable, in that although the hardware may last only for two or three years, personal software packages and storage formats (such as PDF) evolve through successive versions, with a large measure of backward compatibility.”
The Role of Emotional Factors in Building Public Scientific Literacy and Engagement with Science (2012, background): “In other words, emotional factors of interest and enjoyment can play a special role in stimulating and supporting science learning motivation and identities as learners involved in informal environments and school science classes (Bell et al., 2009). Along similar lines, Hidi and Renninger (2006) ar”
Student Attitudes Toward and Recall of Outside Day: An Environmental Science Field Trip (2012, background): “Field trips can take a wide range of configurations, which may include mixtures of venues, pedagogical approaches, and learning goals (Bell et al., 2009; Rennie, 2007; Rickinson et al., 2004).”
