Abstract	Out-of-school learning has been playing an increasingly important role in science education. It can be implemented in various ways and encompasses learning activities that take place outside normal lessons reserved for compulsory education. This form of education is typically not coordinated by the school itself and young people take part in it voluntarily. It resembles “outdoor education”, which is, however, more closely linked with meeting aims stemming from formal education. Since the learning activities used in both forms of education are similar, very often solutions and experiences in one form are transferred to the other. One of the many advantages of out-of-school learning is the fact that is helps increase students’ interest in education by creating extra learning opportunities in the real world. It also makes it possible to discover gifted pupils and develop their talents. However, there is a major issue that needs to be investigated, which is how out-of-school learning influence students’ future actions and decisions concerning science education, bearing in mind that this form of education cannot replace formal education and can only support it. That is why scholars are conducting research with the aim of determining the impact of out-of-school activities on improving the learning of science, especially on outcomes such as achievement, interest in science, careers in science, self-efficacy, perseverance, and effort in learning science (Tran, 2011).
