Fig. 2

A motivational model of science learning in the garden, in which culturally relevant and supportive pedagogical contexts foster high-quality motivational experiences in the garden (i.e., where students’ needs for relatedness, competence, and autonomy are met and they are fully engaged in garden activities), which in turn promote students’ engagement in science class as well as their science identity, learning, and grades. Solid lines indicate theoretical connections examined in the current study. (Adapted from Skinner et al. 2012)
