“…Museum and science-fair exhibits are an effective way of increasing interest in science [20][21][22] and raising awareness of scientific concepts [23][24][25] . Visits to science museums have been shown to improve longterm science knowledge 26 and adult memories of school field trips can often recall something learnt during their childhood experience 27 .…”

“…Interviews and observation with 120 primary school students indicate a significant effect of museum tours in multiple intelligences for first graders at the primary school level [47]. Analyzing the pedagogical strategies in three specific areas revealed that students' engagement can be improved in museum exhibits through the proper design of the exhibit elements [45].…”

This scoping review aims to provide an overview of empirical studies on worldwide museum visit intervention in K-12 education. The study employed Mendeley citation software to identify the articles in the database. A meta-analysis PRISMA statement is used for reporting the items. Out of 135 possibly rich articles, the present study reviewed 18 studies that met the inclusion criteria and were subjected to descriptive and content analyses published between 2017 and 2021. Most of the studies are experimental and from primary school contexts. It is revealed that science is the subject matter context majority of the studies, but philosophy, disaster management, language, and environmental science are also represented. The content analysis resulted in the following learning and social outcomes. It states that social outcome is explored chiefly, followed by learning outcome. The findings indicate that museum visit intervention positively impacts students learning and social outcome. The review also identifies the need for further research on museum visit intervention in the Asia Pacific region.

“…1), the study of engagement has been hindered by a lack of consensus on the different types of engagement (Reschly & Christenson, 2012). Since engagement is a broad and multidimensional concept comprising observable behaviour, internal cognition, and emotions (Shaby et al, 2019c), different researchers have conceptualised engagement in many different ways depending on the context and focus of the science learning. Although science educators have undertaken interesting attempts to approach the notion of engagement in the context of science museums and science centres (Faria & Chagas, 2012;Shaby et al, 2019cShaby et al, , 2019bShaby et al, 2019a;Yoon & Wang, 2014), few studies have looked at engagement in the context of science festivals.…”
