What Types of Experimental Activites Are Appreciated by Students Inclined Towards Studying STEM?
Original language description
Our department offers several experimental activities for upper-secondary school students. These activities vary in their respective characteristics, which may appeal differently to various groups of students. This contribution focuses on three specific activities - pure lecture demonstrations, popularizing science show and practical lab work. A questionnaire based on Intrinsic Motivation Inventory was administered to students attending these activities. The relationship between different aspects of intrinsic motivation triggered by these activities and students' intention to study STEM at university level wasanalysed using two-way ANOVA and linear regression. The results show that any experimental activity is perceived more positively by students prone to studying STEM. The capacity of practical work and lecture demonstrations to trigger situational interest drops more rapidly with the decrease in intention to study STEM than this capacity of science shows. Popularizing science shows trigger highest interest in all students, yet for students prone towards studying STEM it is comparable to interest triggered by practical lab work.
