“…Also Ghareib (2011) demonstrated the importance of different activities (e.g., musical activities and innovative songs) to develop children's awareness. Piatti-Farnell (2015) recommended using TV cartoon movies like "Sponge-Bob Square Pants" to instill positive behaviors in such children. Also, Whiteside-Mansell and Swindle (2019) suggested that the "We Inspire Smart Eating" (WISE) curriculum is an effective method.…”

This study aims at evaluating the effectiveness of an instructional activities based program in developing some economic values for kindergarten children. 60 kindergarten children in public schools were included . The average age was 5.5 years. They were divided into two groups with equal number of children in both( one experimental, n=30 children, and the other was control group n=30 children). A Pictured Economic Values Questionnaire for Children was used to collect and analyze data. The t-test was employed, run by SPSS V18.0. Findings obtained from the study showed that there was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the children of the experimental and control groups in the total score of Pictured Economic Values Questionnaire for Children(sub- scales and composite score)in the post test, after applying the instructional activities based program, which is in favour of the experimental group.

“…Previous research observed Spongebob Squarepants through feminist analysis and young girls' self-identification with gender roles (Duvall, 2010), and explored the series' influence on children's preferences for purchasing (de Droog et al, 2010) and food consumption (Piatti-Farnell, 2015). Other studies on Spongebob focused on masculinity, the male gender and queer coding (Dennis, 2003;de Medeiros and de Medeiros, 2018); the influence on pop culture (Groening, 2011;Fuller, 2019), its marketability (Rice, 2009) and its normalization of neocolonialism (Barker, 2019).…”

Stereotypical representations about what scientists do, look like, and how they behave are cognized in early childhood and refined throughout life, through direct or indirect contact with the STEM communication climate, whether it be direct interactions with scientists, science education, communique, or entertainment. Popular media (TV) plays an important role in influencing our ideas of science by constructing images of social science reality. What has rarely been discussed in these contexts is what kind of scientific stereotypes are reinforced or challenged in popular TV shows for young audiences, particularly regarding female scientists. Using qualitative textual analysis, this paper examines how female scientists are portrayed through humor (and what kind of humor) in two popular animated entertainment series for children—Spongebob Squarepants and Adventure Time—and how their portrayal reinforces or challenges gender stereotypes in cultural representations of science. The analysis revealed that science was portrayed as humorously framed non-science, often represented by exaggerated ever-computing datasets on larger-than-life computer screens that would rival NASA. However, the representation of the female scientists in these animated TV comedies was steeped in archaic stereotypes that, surprisingly, were barely associated with humor: it was the science, not the female scientist per se, that was comic. Interpreting these findings in light of science communication research, gender studies, popular entertainment studies and humor studies, this article adds new perspectives to our understanding of humor in science narratives and the public imagination, and provides new insights for the study of the intangible aspects of science in culture.
