High school students and the Science Olympiad.
Abstract
The qualitative study examines student involvement in Science Olympiad. Five high school students participating in Science Olympiad are interviewed both before and after a regional tournament. Interviews address student motivation and interest as well as challenges and rewards. Findings suggest a link between student involvement in Science Olympiad and musical talent, out-of-school science activities, and college science major/career aspirations. Recommendations for teachers and researchers conclude the paper.
