3. Pre-Visit Stage: as introduction the teacher education takes place in the University, other institute, special course, or remote ICT-learning  The subject matter of the exhibitions is part of the professional and personal development for all the teachers  Use of ICT as cost-effective pre-lecture for the orientation for the visit itself, and the focus of the visit to the Centre  pre-tasks for the visit stage Visit Stage: training takes place in science centre open learning settings (workshops, demonstrations, experiments, laboratories, planetarium, exhibitions, out-door settings, etc.)  The main impact for the visit to the science centre is intrinsic motivation and learning by doing  As supplementing impact for the visit to the science centre the teachers mention a) the exhibitions content as an entity and b) having an opportunity to utilise varying learning methods  the teachers impact of the visit to the science centre well-organised especially in relation to their school rhythm, and the visit to the single exhibit unit (like laboratory)  The co-operative learning nature as impact of the visit to science centre is found important by the teachers. Post-Visit Stage: utilising the hands-on methods learned in the science centre back at school in teaching as well bringing idea for pupils and students  impact for the subject matter, the most important for the teachers is “learning by doing”  impact of the opportunity to apply a method “to make observations”  impact of Laboratory, Demonstrations, and Planetarium as specified IBSE personal & professional learning sources  Impact of the entity: Pre-lecture + Visit + Post-lecture, back added-value for their work (while the teachers invest a lot of their – especially mental – resources for the process!)

8. 8...Attitudes shown to be formed early, hard to change after elementary school (Gibson & Chase, 2002) -> important to analyze and influence them before transition to middle school. especially difficult, if the attitudes have been formed more intuitively, automatically and on emotional basis than more consciously in process of time (Kahneman, 2003). attitudes of girls already early become more negative toward science. overall students often tend to lose their interest by time. (Hong & al., 2013, 2010; Jidesjö, 2008, 2012; Farenga & Joyce, 1999)
