The relevance of this study to ISE educators lies primarily in the theoretical ideas about what the researchers call “transformative experience” in science education. A transformative experience was defined as one in which students are engaged and actively applying science concepts in their everyday life in new and meaningful ways; it is taking what is learned through formal science instruction and integrating it into everyday life so that students understand the world in a new way.
