2.1.9 Effect of Using a Science Enrichment Program on High-Achieving Students' Science Achievement
This mixed-methods study examined the effects of a science enrichment program at a school in Al-Khodh, Muscat on tenth-grade high-achieving female students’ achievement in, attitudes about, and perceptions of science. Students responded to scales on academic self-concept, attitudes towards the enrichment program, attitudes toward regular science, and perceptions about the enrichment program. The results indicated that students’ attitudes toward the enrichment program were positive. For the qualitative part of the study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with the students. These interviews yielded some important themes about high-achieving students’ participation in the enrichment program.
