Arnold, M. E., & Bourdeau, V. D. (2009). The Science Process Skills Inventory (SPSI).

Corvallis, OR: Oregon State University 4-H Youth Development. There has been a recent increase in 4-H programs related to science, engineering and technology

(SET), and a related increase in measuring the impact of these programs. The Science Process

Skills Inventory (SPSI) was developed to measure the overall ability of students to understand

and use the range of skills related to the cycle of science inquiry. These skills include forming

scientific questions, designing scientific procedures, collecting and recording data, analyzing

results, using models to describe results, and creating scientific presentations. The Science

Process Skills Inventory contains 11 items. Respondents rate each statement using a four-point

Likert scale indicating their level of use of the science skill associated with each statement: (1)

never, (2) sometimes, (3) usually, and (4) always. Psychometric testing of the SPSI, including

scale and reliability analyses, has taken place with several participants in several 4-H SET

programs, with consistently high reliability coefficients established. Following publication in

2009, the instrument was requested for use by SET programs in Wisconsin, Tennessee, Vermont,

Ohio, & Connecticut. The SPSI was also used in a national study in 2009 of 4-H SET program

participation sponsored by National 4-H Council and conducted by Policy Research and

Associates (PSA) a private educational research firm in Washington, DC.

and research labs (Veterinary Science and Hinsdale Wave Research Tank), take field trips, live

in a dorm, eat in a cafeteria and select activities at Dixon Recreation Center. Resident camp

staff are recruited, hired, and trained to work with the campers. The 2007-2011 campers are

continuing to participate in education activates after the program on the Corroboree web site.

During both the camps, photos and video were posted on the Bernard Harris Summer Science

Camp Blog under the leadership of Chester Bateman in the College of Education.

The 4-H Summer Science Camp was reviewed and recognized as a USDA-CSREES Program of

Distinction in 2008. The 4-H Programs of Distinction are a collection of descriptions of high

quality 4-H youth development programs which are peer refereed and must exhibit strong

program development and contribute to the youth development body of knowledge, convey new

ideas or innovative methods related to positive youth development, and demonstrate changes in

knowledge, behaviors, attitudes or aspirations of 4-H youth and adults.

2010 National Camping Institute (2010). Collaborated with a team of agents to host the 2010

National Camping Institute at the Oregon 4-H Center. There were nine sub-committees to

coordinate Sponsors & Exhibits, Transportation, Workshops & Seminars, Publicity & Printing,

Educational Tours, Programs & Special Events, Registration & Facilities, Finance and

Evaluation. One to five persons were on each committee. I was an ad hoc member of all

committees. The committee met monthly by phone conference beginning in December 2008.

Work between meetings was via email. On the evaluation the overall rating for the 2010 NCI

was 47% very good, and 43% good.

Corroboree- 4-H Across the Seas – Science Education Web Site http://www.corroboree.org

(2008-2003). Collaborated with Robin Galloway, Max Sargent, and elementary school teachers

in Oregon and Morwell, Victoria, Australia on the first version of a science education web site

which provided participating schools a forum to share data and discussion on their outdoor

classroom research projects. This science web site’s initial development was funded by a $9500

grant provided by the National Internationize Extension Initiative. Data sheets are based on

those developed by Oregon 4-H Natural Science Curriculum Development Committee. Lessons

posted are from Oregon 4-H Wetland Wonders, The Rosa Raindrop Board Game and What can

we learn at the pond? The web site education program was peer reviewed and recognized as a

USDA CSREES 4-H Program of Distinction in 2005. In 2006 the web site won the National

Association of Extension 4-H Agents Education Technology Team Award.

4-H WILD Outside Natural Science Program (2009-2001). Collaborated with U. S. Fish and

Wildlife Service and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife staff on a Wildlife Partners

Program for improvement of habitat and development of educational/interpretive opportunities at

the 4-H WILD Outside Education site at the Oregon 4-H Center. This on-going project will take

advantage of Federal and State Wildlife Agency’s expertise and funding that will lead to

expanded outdoor education opportunities for elementary schools using the 4-H Center as a field

trip destination. Partnered with North Salem High School field biology classes to complete

habitat surveys and propose interpretation opportunities of interest to youth. Obtained grant

from PG & E National Energy Group for equipment used by biology class to document macro-

invertebrates and plant communities in the study site. Designed promotional brochure to recruit

elementary school field trips. Submitted funding request to Oregon Watershed Enhancement

Board. Funding was granted for $91,000 in 2005 for habitat and fish stream passage

improvements. After delays in agency engineering support, the majority of the fish stream

passage improvements were completed in fall 2008. Additional improvements occurred in 2009.

Program Evaluations ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp at Oregon State University Alumni Survey

2012.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the impact the camp had on future plans and

aspirations of the youth who attended these camps. Only youth entering their senior year of high

school or older were asked to participate in the study; this includes the original 7th

and 8th

graders

from the 2007 camp and the original 8th

graders from the 2008 camp. During the 2012 summer,

49 of these youth were asked to participate in a short survey about their plans for the future and

their involvement in science. Twenty students completed the questionnaire, resulting in a 41%

response rate. Fourteen youth (70%) who originally attended the 2007 camp responded and 6 youth (30%) who attended the 2008 camp responded. One hundred percent of the respondents indicated they planned to attend a college or university

after high school. Also, when asked about what type of post-high school education they desired,

all of the respondents (100%) indicated they planned to attend a 4-year college or university.

State 4-H Camp Leadership Conference (2012). Committee member Robin Galloway designed

the evaluation which used a retrospective pre-test methodology to survey participants at the end

of the conference weekend. Bourdeau did the evaluation analysis and report.

There were 128 persons at the conference. Approximately two thirds of the participants were

youth members. Eighty five evaluations were returned. Of the surveys returned there were 51

youth, 28 adults and six that did not indicated youth or adult. Participants were asked to indicate

the number of camps they have attended. Fifty seven percent of adults indicate 10+, 32%

indicated 5-9 and 11% indicated 1-4 camps. Youth were more evenly distributed. Forty percent

indicated they had attended 1-4 camps, with 30% indicating 5-9 and 10+ camps.

Participants were asked to indicate their level of skill before and after the conference on a four

point scale with 1 being Poor and 4 being Excellent.

2011 National Science Experiment Science Care Package Evaluation and Program Support . To

prepare county staff to have groups participate in the National 4-H Science Day on October 5,

2011 an Oregon 4-H Science Care Package was developed by the State 4-H Science Leadership

Team of Lynette Black, Jeremy Green, Jon Mayer, Pat Willis and Virginia Bourdeau. The

materials were assembled and mailed by Lynette Black.

The Science Care Package included a cover letter inviting agents and staff to participate. The

materials included were 1) A 4-H Approach to Science Inquiry Information Sheet, 2)Criteria for

Good Scientific Inquiry Questions Information Sheet, 3) Wired for Wind 4-H National Youth

Science Day Facilitator Guide, 4) Wired for Wind Kit Materials List, 5) Biochemistry of Milk

Sample Lesson, and 6) Science Inquiry- 10 Video Module DVD.

A state-wide evaluation was prepared and emailed to the counties. Follow-up emails encouraged

agents and staff to complete the evaluation to help plan the 2012 county support efforts for the

National 4-H Science day.

One-hundred percent of respondents indicate that they Strongly Agree or Agee that:

The information provided in the Science Care Package helped me facilitate the 4-H

Youth Science Day Activities.

The Wired for Wind Facilitator Guide provided me with information needed to feel

prepared to lead the activities.

The activities helped youth understand the intended content.

The activities challenged youth at the appropriate level.

This type of care package is a good way to provide support for future National 4-H

Science days.

My county is interested in participating in National 4-H Youth Science Day events in

future years.

Responding to the statement, “My county can only participate in the National 4-H Youth Science

Day if all the materials needed are provided to us,” 12% Agreed, 44 % were Neutral, 22%

Disagreed and 22% Strongly Disagreed.

Eight-eight percent Strongly Disagreed that “Science Education does not fit with the needs of

delivery modes of my county.”

ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp at Oregon State University (2011-2007).

This program began in 2007 and has been funded each year by an $80,000 grant from the

ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Foundations. The intent of the Harris Foundation is to fund science,

technology, engineering and math rich summer camps for youth entering grades 6-8 from

populations traditionally underrepresented in the science and technology fields. The purpose of

the evaluation was to determine if youth gained knowledge from their classes and if participation

in the program caused them to want to take more science courses or plan a career in science.

The evaluation was designed by Mary Arnold, with input from co-IPs Virginia Bourdeau and

Robin Galloway.

Of the 48 participants in the evaluation, 24 were males and 24 were females. Attending campers

will be entering grades 6, 7, and 8 in the fall; there were 16 campers in each grade group. The

ethnicity/race distribution of the participants was: Caucasian (35%); Hispanic (27%); Asian

(6%); African‐ American (8%); Native American (10%); Pacific Islander (0%); and other/mixed

(14%). Participants came from 22 of Oregon’s 36 counties. There were 50% of campers who

came from families below the poverty line (qualifying for free or reduced cost lunches).

Science Process Skills

Overall, campers reported changes in the science processing skills as measured by the Science

Process Skills Inventory (SPSI) from the pre- to the post-tests, though these changes for campers

were not significant at the .05 significance level, they showed a trend toward significance at the

.10 level (p = .059). However, it is important to note that females had a statistically significant

increase in the SPSI scores from pre- to post- test (p = .032) while males did not (p + .554). No

significant difference in these changes by grand groups existed.

Further analysis of individual science processing skills revealed significant changes from pre- to

post-test for one individual science skill, I can analyze the results of a scientific investigation (p

= .026). Two other science skills reveled a trend toward significance between the pre- to post-

test scores, I can design a scientific procedure (p= .070) and, I can record data accurately (p =

.088).

Attitudes toward Science

Individual science attitude and interest scores revealed a significant change on one itme from

pre- to post-test, When I graduate from high school, I would like to have a job related to science

(t = 2.69, p = .010). Youth agreed more that they would like a job related to science after the

camp, compared to before the camp (Mean before camp – 3.23; Mean after camp = 3.47).

Experience with Science at Camp

Question on the post-test asked campers about the opportunities provided by camp specifically

related to science. Campers were asked to rate their agreement with each item on a one to four

scale: 1) strongly disagree: 2) disagree; 3) agree; and 4) strongly agree. The percentage of

campers “agreeing” or “strongly agreeing” with each item were: had opportunities to experiment

with a project (100%); had opportunities to do hands-on science activities (100%); had

opportunities to solve real-world problems (98%); saw science in a fun way (98%); learned

about careers in science (98%) and had an opportunity to show what they know how to do

(94%).

A 2010 survey of 2007 camp alumni identified needs which we will address through face to face

and on-line programs to assist with academic preparation, educational learning plans and tools to

apply for and succeed in post-secondary education. In the survey alumni indicated that 85.7%

plan to attend a 4 year college or university, and 64.3% hope to get a professional or advanced

degree. Alumni were asked what information they would find helpful that could be posted on

the Science Camp website. One hundred percent listed scholarship/grant applications, 91.7%

chose financial aid help, and 83.3% choose application preparation assistance.

2010 National Science Experiment 4-H2O Support

To prepare county staff to have groups participate in the National 4-H Science Day on October 6,

2010 kits were prepared and distributed to each county on State Fair exhibit drop off day.

Numerous emails were sent encouraging participation and registration of groups on the National

Science Day web site. There were thirteen groups from Oregon represented on the National

Science Day push pin map. These were Tillamook, Clackamas (who worked with Lincoln

County), Coos, Multnomah/Washington, Yamhill, Grant, North Wasco, South Wasco, Jefferson,

Deschutes, Harney and Malheur.

I developed an evaluation was developed and emailed it to the county staff. The instructions

were to return the evaluation to Elaine Laizure, 4-H Center support staff. She printed them and

provided them to me anonymously.

Twelve evaluations were returned. Participants were asked which of the documents on the

resource CD they used. The PowerPoint Facilitator’s Guide and PowerPoint Youth Activity

Guide were developed by Virginia to support program delivery. The facilitator’s guide was

used by 75% of participants and the youth guide was used by 83%. Participants responded to the

statement, “The Facilitator PowerPoint provided me with information I needed to feel

comfortable leading the activities.” Sixty three percent Strongly Agree and 27% Agreed with the

statement.

Responding to the statement, “The activities helped youth understand the intended content.” 83%

Strongly Agreed. In addition, 83% Strongly Agreed that the kit and resource CD would be a

good way to provide support for future National 4-H Science Days.

Written feedback was also requested on the kits. One person responded, “Well let me tell you, I

would not have done anything because of lack of time to collect and plan resources so I

appreciate all you did. I will be duplicating throughout the year as time permits! We had a great

time!” Another said, “ I did like all the information in the CD. The PowerPoint was easy to use.

I liked the whole package, ready to go. I followed the directions and I could figure it out. I

probably would not have done the experiment without the kit and help.” Also, “This being my

first time that I have been involved with this activity it went really smooth. I had 211 6th

grade

youth participate in the experiment and all of them had a great time and learned from the

activity.”

The demographics of groups and persons reached was 10 schools, 34 classrooms, and 10 non-

school groups. The combined effort reached 83 adults and 725 youth.

Corroboree! 4-H Across the Sea Science Education Website. (2006-2004). The 2004 spring 4-H

Corroboree Program pilot was evaluated with a formative evaluation using pre- post test

methodology designed by the P.I. Virginia Bourdeau and Dr. Mary Arnold. Students filled out a

pre-program evaluation prior to starting the program and a matching post-program evaluation at

the end. The post-program evaluation contained additional short answer questions about how the

students liked using the website.

Students in Oregon and Australia reported statistically significant changes in using the web to

learn science (p= .072; N=69) and liking to learn about people from other counties (p=.043;

N=66). Participating teachers reported that the program was effective for helping students learn

science. In particular they identified the following program strengths:

Pictures and graphics on the web site,

The organization of the web site lessons,

The ease of use of the on-line data collection pages.

Extension Program Leadership

Leadership for a balanced 4-H Youth Development Education Program includes the important

task of facilitating the delivery of educational programs by faculty and volunteers in 36 Oregon

counties. Because of the number and diversity of projects and activities in the 4-H Youth

Development Natural Science, Horticulture and Youth Camping program areas, it is critical that

faculty members engage other educators in the delivery of content related classes, workshops,

and events. Many educational programs either include or culminate in events such as clinics,

camps, or field trips which provide opportunities for members and leaders to utilize the new

skills they are learning through 4-H Youth Development Education Programs. These facilitated

educational activities are included in this section of the VITA.

where the Outcome is a fundamental Change in the Field’s

Direction

Refereed Professional Journal Development and Support In my elected role as the National Association of Extension 4-H Agents (NAE4-HA) Vice

President for Research, Evaluation and Programs, I worked in 2004-07 with the NAE4-HA

Research and Evaluation Committee to launch the new on-line Journal of Youth Development:

Bridging Research and Practice. This Journal is contributing to a fundamental change in the

youth development field by bringing together peer refereed articles from 4-H Extension and from

national and international non-profit and public youth serving organizations. Specific roles

included making personal phone calls inviting selected persons to serve as Journal of Youth

Development Board members who broadly represent youth development at the national level,

collaborated to design editorial policies, and securing funding in the NAE4-HA annual operating

budgets for 2006-07 and 2007-08.
