ABSTRACT

This study aims to systematically organize the effects of elementary school science-related programs on students' science interests through a meta-analysis. Researchers reviewed the science-related program studies for elementary school students and analyzed 49 studies, including 24 unpublished theses and dissertations and 25 journals from 2000 to 2022. Using Rosenthal and Orwin's method the desk drawer problem for the studies was analyzed, and publication bias was analyzed using Egger's intercept test. The overall effect size indicates that the experimental group's effect size is 19.50% higher than that of the control group. As a result of examining the difference in the effect size according to the moderator variables, there were significant differences in student type, grade, number of experiment persons, times of programs, and duration of program treatment. Gifted students, 6th graders, 21~40 persons in the experiment, 16-20 times of programs, and 17-20 weeks of treatment showed the highest effect size. This study is meaningful because it examines the effect of elementary school science-related programs on science interest through meta-analysis and seeks practical ways to apply to science-related programs.
