Engaging Students in Science Using Project Olympiads: A case study in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Making science enjoyable inspires students to learn more. Out-of-class activities such as science fairs and Olympiads, serve as reasonable informal learning environments that demand attention. The association of students’ involvement in these activities with increased student interest in science followed by the selection of science-related careers, should motivate all in-charge stakeholders. In this work, we analysed the outcomes of the Bosnia Science Olympiad (BSO) as the first national Science Olympiad in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), aiming the improvement of science education and bringing different ethnic groups under the umbrella of science, in a post-conflict area. The two-day endeavour held in Sarajevo includes competition in four science-related categories (Environment, Engineering, Have an Idea, Web Design) and social activities. In this work, the comprehensive data, including participants’ gender, their ethnic background, cities, schools, and supervisors, over five years, was analysed. The number of participating high-school students increased from 78 to 143, of supervisors from 21 to 95, and of schools from 7 to 15, reaching a wide demographic acceptance to cover all ethnic regions in BiH. The relationship between gender and the selection of a category, shows bias of male participants towards Web Design (21%) and Engineering (40%), and of female students towards “Have an Idea” (40%) and Environment (44%) categories. The contribution of BSO choosing a science career, getting socialized without prejudices, and the improvement of students’ self-confidence, were as well addressed. Our work demonstrates a model work to successfully promote science in post-conflict settings.

This research aims to determine the pattern of fostering the National Mathematical Science Olympiad (OSN) Junior High School in the Ponorogo Regency. This is qualitative descriptive research. The sample selection is done by purposive sampling. The instrument used was an interview sheet. Data analysis was performed descriptively qualitatively. The pattern of fostering the OSN Mathematics Junior High School in the Ponorogo Regency is carried out in three coaching patterns, namely authoritarian, permissive, and democratic. In the authoritarian pattern, it can be seen from the school's policy in developing a coaching program, the selection process, to the rewards given when passing OSN selection at the district level. Permissive patterns can be seen from coaching activities that openly provide opportunities for students to add skills beyond coaching at school. The last is a democratic pattern, which is very visible when most of the coaching process begins with the provision of material, then students are allowed to complete practice questions. Then a discussion on the questions the students have done is only done.
