Students were given a pre-test on scientific inquiry before the science fair and a post-test on scientific inquiry after the science fair. Then these test scores were compared. Students were also given surveys to complete before and after their participation in the science fair to determine if their attitudes changed towards the study of science.
Dec 1, 2017 · This alignment reveals an underlying assumption that science fair participation may lead to increased understanding of science inquiry. However, there is little research to either support or disprove this assumption.This We Believe is a position paper that was first published by the Association for Middle Level Education (AMLE) in 1982, and has since been revised (Association for Middle Level ...
Abstract. The findings reported in this paper are based on surveys of U.S. high school students who registered and managed their science and engineering fair (SEF) projects through the online Scienteer website over the three years 2019/20, 2020/21, and 2021/22. Almost 2500 students completed surveys after finishing all their SEF competitions.

The purpose of this capstone project was to determine if science fairs increase students’ knowledge of scientific inquiry and build positive attitudes towards the study of science. This topic was chosen because students in the sixth through eighth grade participate in a school-sponsored science fair each year. Therefore the effectiveness of using science fairs as a method of teaching ...
Mar 12, 2021 · Why S&E Fairs? Inquiry-based science refers to students using their scientific knowledge, reasoning and skills to conduct investigations. Schwab and Brandwein developed the idea of inquiry-based science teaching so that students would have opportunities to learn how scientific knowledge is generated and to participate in the authentic practices of science.

“Science Fair of the Future” had more than 11 million views on YouTube in its first month. Nevertheless, despite the long history and wide implementation as part of informal and formal science education in the United States, few published research studies examine how science fair participation affects student engagement with science [7].
