The release of the UK house of lords report and its emphasis on public engagement of science have attracted a growing number of related studies recommending the strategies of consensus conferences to increase science competency. In this study, SEM showed that enjoyment and interest are the most predictive variables for engagement in leisure science learning. These results allow us to recommend, in addition to the above helpful cognitive-oriented strategies, strategies that promote affective factors as interest and enjoyment because these play a critical role in stimulating engagement. For example, the use of novelty or aesthetics have been confirmed as fruitful and effective strategies for young learners. Kleinman et al, recommend the initiation of internal incentives such as matching personal interests and adult citizen participation in high technology.
