Teachers conceptualise the clubs as inclusive spaces for all students, not just the most outstanding. Nineteen teachers were interviewed, and their interviews were analysed using content analysis techniques. The findings show that teachers recognise the importance of catering to the diverse needs and abilities of students, including integrating those with difficulties. However, challenges also emerged, such as integrating club activities into the school curriculum and ensuring the participation of all students. Nevertheless, the testimonies gathered allow us to conclude that these initiatives promote the participation of all kinds of students by fostering their interest and performance in science. Additionally, the clubs enable a more flexible and collaborative pedagogical approach, enhancing the teacher-student relationship. The effective integration of these practices into daily classroom instruction is highlighted as crucial for improving equity and educational quality in science education. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S27-23R info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Afonso, Ana Dies Álvarez, Maria Eugenia Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-2247-0826 4013 205 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
