Müzeler, hayvanat bahçeleri, botanik bahçeleri vb. informal öğrenme ortamları, insanların kendi ilgi ve ihtiyaçları doğrultusunda ziyaret ettikleri, gönüllü katılımın esas olduğu, eğlenceli ve keyifli ortamlardır. Bu ortamlara yapılan ziyaretlerden akılda kalanların neler olduğu merak konusudur. Bu araştırmada, bir bilim merkezi ziyaretinin uzun dönem etkisi araştırılmıştır. Bu amaçla, bilim merkezini ziyaret eden ortaokul öğrencilerinin bu ziyaretten bir yıl sonra neler hatırladıkları tespit edilmiştir. Araştırmada, Kocaeli Bilim Merkezi’ni ziyaret etmiş olan 7. ve 8. sınıf öğrencilerine bu ziyarete ilişkin neler hatırladıkları, açık uçlu soru formuyla sorulmuştur. Bu formda, hatırladıkları sergiler, bilim merkezinde gözlemledikleri olayları günlük hayatta hatırlama durumları ve tekrar ziyaret etme istekleri ve nedenleri sorulmuştur. Araştırmada, bilim merkezini bir yıl önce ziyaret etmiş olan 87 öğrenci (43 kız, 44 erkek) yer almıştır. Veriler içerik analizi ile analiz edilmiştir. Verilerin analizi, öğrencilerin birçok sergiyi hatırladıklarını; hatırladıkları sergilerin eğlenceli, dikkat çekici, deneme fırsatı sunan, aktif katılımlarını sağlayan sergiler olduklarını göstermiştir. Öğrencilerin, bilim merkezinde gözlemlediklerini ziyaret sonrası derslerde ve günlük hayattaki olaylarla ilişkilendirdikleri, bilim merkezini çok beğendikleri ve tekrar ziyaret etmek istedikleri belirlenmiştir. İnformal öğrenme ortamlarına yapılan okul gezilerin yapılandırılmış bir şekilde gerçekleştirilmesi ve bu ziyaretlerin ders içeriğiyle ilişkilendirilmesi önerilmektedir.

Museums, zoos, botanical gardens, and other informal learning environments are engaging and enjoyable settings that individuals visit according to their own interests and needs, with voluntary participation being a key element. The question of what visitors retain from these experiences has been a subject of ongoing interest. This study investigates the long-term effect of a science center visit. Specifically, it explores what middle school students who had visited the science center remembered one year after their visit. Seventh and eighth-grade students who had visited the Kocaeli Science Center were asked to recall their experiences through an open-ended question form. This form inquired about the exhibitions they remembered, whether they had recalled the events they observed at the science center in their daily lives, and their desire to revisit the center along with their reasons. A total of 87 (43 girls, 44 boys) students who had visited the science center one year earlier participated in the study. The data were analyzed using content analysis. The results indicated that students remembered many of the exhibits, particularly those that were fun, attention-grabbing, provided hands-on opportunities, and encouraged active participation. It was also found that students connected the events they observed at the science center with topics from their lessons and daily life experiences. Additionally, they reported finding the science center highly enjoyable and expressed a strong desire to visit again. It is recommended that school trips to informal learning environments be conducted in a structured manner and that these visits be linked to the course content.
