Description
Science labs offer students unique opportunities to develop scientific agency through experiments that foster relevant skills and attitudes, such as making substantiated decisions. This study explores how science bachelor students develop scientific agency in laboratory settings through decision making. We will focus on the interplay between decision making, higher-order thinking skills and motivation. Using a mixed-methods approach—including surveys, observations, and interviews—we seek to identify factors that influence students' decision-making processes. An educational design study will lead to evidence-based recommendations for the design of science laboratories with the goal of improving laboratory education.
