“…However, in the literature, many suggestions for better science teaching can be found that clearly involve social activities and thus could activate empathizing skills, like science center outreach labs (Itzek-Greulich & Vollmer, 2017), museum visits (Martin, Durksen, Williamson, Kiss, & Ginns, 2016), collaborative projects (Bryan et al, 2011), integrating students' existing interests (Hagay & Baram-Tsabari, 2015), science story telling (Polman & Hope, 2014), fostering autonomy, relatedness and belonging (Andersen & Nielsen, 2011), preventing feelings of disgust and rejection (Randler, Hummel, & W€ ust-Ackermann, 2012), knowledgeable, inspiring, enthusiastic, and caring teachers (Bryan et al, 2011;Keller, Neumann, & Fischer, 2017) that take students' emotions into account (King, Ritchie, Sandhu, Henderson & Boland, 2017), and family and friends that encourage them to study science (Mujtaba & Reiss, 2012;Simpkins, Price, & Garcia, 2015).…”
