Abstract

Live video web-streaming via an electronic field trip (EFT) format can connect youth with scientists working in a variety of settings. Previous research indicated interactions with scientists can change children’s perceptions of science, technology, engineering, and mathematic (STEM) careers. We conducted an arts-based study to examine an EFT’s impact on elementary students’ pre-/post- drawings of forest ecosystems, conservation practices, and related STEM role models. Through three rounds of visual coding and averaging codes, we found imagery shown in the EFT influenced participants’ post-drawings. Results showed youth’s visual conceptualizations of a forest shifted to include pine trees, prescribed burning, snakes, scientists, and science communicators.
