Abstract

The development of a scientific disposition opens opportunities for youth to see science as relevant in their daily lives. Four building blocks promote disposition development: gaining competence, sparking curiosity, belonging and contributing to one's communities, and bridging personal connections. In this paper, we explore the role technology played in supporting unified disposition development by detailing the experiences of two focal learners. We found that technology can act as a boundary object that supports connections across the building blocks in integrated ways, and we include challenges and implications for design.
