Supplementary File 1: Nano Escape Room Evaluation Data for Nanoscale Science Education

A PDF file containing supplementary data from a study on a hybrid Nano Escape Room (Nano EsRm) for informal learning. The study involved 176 students and 49 teachers, evaluating the activity's effectiveness for teaching nanoscale science concepts. The file was authored by Ron Blonder and last updated on 2026-05-20.

Use Cases

• Analyzing student engagement and perceived learning gains based on survey data from 176 participants.
• Evaluating teacher feedback and willingness to implement game-based activities based on responses from 49 educators.
• Studying the application of the Six Strands of Science Proficiency framework in an informal, gamified learning environment.
• Researching methods to teach challenging concepts like size-dependent properties and nanoscale characterization.

Strengths

• Data from a substantial sample of 176 students and 49 teachers.
• Clear grounding in the Six Strands of Science Proficiency educational framework.
• Openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0 for reuse and analysis.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 1.9 MB PDF; the underlying raw data structure and columns are unknown.
• Row count for any potential tabular data within the PDF is unspecified.
• Documentation of specific data fields and collection methodology must be inferred from the PDF content.
