STEM领域的代表性不足问题出现得很早，小学生在科学兴趣、从事科学研究的能力信念、以及个人身份与科学家身份匹配度的信念上，已呈现出基于性别和种族的差异。本文探讨了一项课外天文学项目，该项目聚焦于为服务不足的学校系统丰富科学教育，以提升学生对科学的兴趣，并帮助他们认识到科学家和自己一样都是普通人。在项目开始前、结束后以及开展过程中，我们就学生对科学、自我以及相关活动的认知进行了调查。我们发现，在项目推进过程中，学生对自身科学能力的信心有所增强。学生对科学的看法没有变化，但大体上与科学本质（Nature of Science）的理念相一致。我们还发现，在学生认为自己发挥了创造力并提出问题的日子里，他们更有可能表示自己感觉像一名科学家，且对当日的主题感兴趣。我们的研究结果表明，融入创造力和提问机会，对于激发科学兴趣以及产生科学参与感而言，与做实验同样重要。
英文摘要：
Underrepresentation in STEM fields starts early, with elementary students already showing differences based on gender and race in their interest in science, belief in their ability to do science, and belief that their personal identity aligns with being a scientist. Here we discuss an out-of-school time astronomy program that focuses on enriching science education in under-served school systems to promote students' excitement about science and help them see scientists as people just like them. Before, after, and throughout the program, we survey students on their perceptions of science, themselves, and their activities. We find that over the course of our program, students become more confident in their science abilities. Student ideas about science remain unchanged, but largely align with Nature of Science ideals. We also find that on days that students report they were creative and asked questions, they were more likely to say they felt like a scientist and were interested in the day's topic. Our results suggest that incorporating creativity and opportunities to ask questions can be just as important as doing experiments for generating interest in and a sense of participating in science.
A escola vai a Mostra de Astronomia do ES: dialogos entre a educacao formal, nao formal e informal para o desenvolvimento da cultura cientifica
这篇文章来自天文学教育活动的发展，旨在鼓励培养未来的研究人员。目的是介绍EEEM学生Silva Mello博士如何参与Mostra de Astronomia do ES（MAES），以及如何促进他们参与和参与正规、非正规和非正规三类教育，突出它们之间的衔接。为了训练对天文学主题的科学研究发展感兴趣的公民，培养对知识的追求并激励这一行动，我们组成小组在MAES展示作品，该空间被用作非正规教育空间。活动包括作品展示、讲座和颁奖。结果，学生们展示的一件作品获奖。当学生讨论科学时，非正规教育就具有了特殊的意义，并将其带入了日常生活
