SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

Under 54 U.S.C. 100101 (National Park Service Act Organic Act), we
must preserve America's natural wonders unimpaired for future
generations, while also making them available for the enjoyment of the
visitor. The NPS' commitment to future generations includes a
commitment to engaging children in science at some of the country's
most beautiful and ecologically intact sites while improving the
quality of STEM--or science, technology, engineering, and mathematics--
instruction. The study of the After School Place-Based STEM Learning
Partnership will provide insight into how STEM education programs can
strengthen students' interest and engagement in STEM, develop skills
and knowledge around ecological monitoring, and encourage students to
see themselves as active participants in building scientific knowledge.
The study is part of an interagency agreement between the U.S.
Department of Education (ED) and the NPS, and a project implemented in
partnership with the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE), the 21st Century
Community Learning Center (CCLC), and the National Environmental
Education Foundation. The study will include a student survey to assess
the following outcomes:
Confidence in the ability to participate in environmental
monitoring and citizen science activities/discussions,
Interest in pursuing or participating in classes,
activities or discussions related to general STEM and/or environmental
science,
Recognition of the relevance of STEM and environmental
science to students' lives and communities, and
Interest in environmental science and/or in pursuing
additional STEM-related classes, activities and/or careers.

The study sample will include students who participate in STEM
education programs delivered in partnership with eight national parks
and their partner schools.
