Enhancing Science and Mathematics Understanding Through Fishing Camps
Abstract
In this chapter, the authors explored the experiences of students and preservice teachers (PSTs) participating in a fishing camp designed to integrate STEM education with outdoor experiential learning. They examined the impact of this informal learning experience on students' attitudes towards science and mathematics, their engagement and understanding of STEM concepts, and the development of PSTs' pedagogical knowledge. All participants reported viewing science and mathematics as more accessible and interesting and feeling more confident in their abilities. This chapter included eight hands-on activities implemented in the fishing camp that significantly enhanced participants' understanding of science and mathematics. Some challenges associated with organizing a fishing camp were also identified.
