“…His criticism of the passive pedagogy of science education derives implicitly from Dewey's ideas (1938) expressed in his thesis of 'learning by doing'. The same approach can be seen in contemporary developments in science centre pedagogy (Braund and Reiss 2004;Salmi 1993Salmi , 2003Salmi et al 2017): The famous 'hands-on' principle articulated by Oppenheimer is a cornerstone of the interaction in modern science centres. What Dewey and modern science centre pedagogy share is the emphasis on motivation, free will and the learner's own activity which is stimulated by the context and is not forced.…”

“…Especially in regard to informal science centre education, studies have mainly concentrated on its effects on motivation (Holmes 2011;Osborne and Dillon 2008;Salmi 1993Salmi , 2003Salmi , 2012Tan and Subramaniam 2003;Vainikainen et al 2015;Vennix et al 2017). However, in our study, the goal was to analyse motivation as a multifaceted phenomenon by simultaneously taking into consideration the more stable self-determined autonomous motivation, the situation motivation and the interest in science in different learning contexts.…”

“…Research has shown that field trips may lead to increased motivation and interest, as well as an improved attitude towards the topic (e.g., [35,36]). Salmi disclosed that field trips can change situational motivation into intrinsic motivation and can also influence academic career choices [37]. Field trips may also lead to positive cognitive learning outcomes [38].…”

“…Při neformálním vzdělávání se uplatní zejména prvky kooperativního a problémového vyučování. Aplikaci neformálního vzdělávání podporuje i Salmi (2003), podle kterého má neformální vzdělávání vliv na zvýšení vnitřní motivace k přírodovědným předmětům.…”
