Introduction

The COMnPLAY-Science project is currently running two surveys related to out-of-school science learning:

  1. Survey for parents-instructors-policy makers
  2. Survey for (pre-college) children regarding out-of school science learning

The aim of the surveys is to investigate attitudes, values and dispositions that young learners may develop through out-of-school science learning, towards science, scientists, and science-related information in everyday life. With the term science learning, we refer to subjects related to science (e.g. chemistry, biology, physics), technology, engineering and mathematics. Our major goal is to identify the role of the various out-of-school science learning activities on young people’s involvement in science.

Survey for parents-instructors-policy makers

Time for completion: 10 minutes.

The survey is directed to people who have been involved/experienced in coding, making or play activities in the context of out-of-school science learning (e.g., instructors in coding clubs, parents of children engaging with robotics, curators of science museums, school teachers organizing relevant after school activities, designer/developer of relevant online resources).

The survey questionnaire is available in the following languages:

Survey for (pre-college) children regarding out-of school science learning

Time for completion: 15 minutes.

The survey is directed to (pre-college) children who have participated in coding, making or play activities in the context of out-of-school science learning (e.g., coding clubs, robotics at home, science museum visits, after school activities, online coding seminars).
