Abstract

This study uses a framework, learning with purpose, to support the design and analysis of student learning opportunities in science. Researchers and practitioners developed and implemented a secondary biology unit for use across an urban district in the US wherein students engaged in a community-based citizen science design challenge. Results suggest student agency may influence how students experience and assign purpose in their learning.
