Correction notice to Museums an Avenue for Enhancing Engagement and Educational Outcomes for Underserved Students

Purpose: We examine the effect of a pilot program involving field trips to the science museum among low-income minority students. Method: Pretest and posttest assessments were conducted on a sample standardized knowledge test and on instruments measuring self-efficacy and motivation. Results: Significant differences were found between pretest and posttest on all outcome variables, with large effect size (Cohen’s d 1⁄4 1.4) on science knowledge. Results on self-efficacy and motivation are mixed. No statistically significant differences were found on race or gender. Discussion: Findings suggest that the field trips were effective in improving science knowledge. Fourth graders seemed to benefit the most from the program.
