	abstract = {This study aims to develop an ESSMIM (Earth System-Science Museum Instructional Module) and evaluate its impacts on 11th grade high-school students{\textquoteright} expected and actual perceptions of a Science Museum invoked Learning Environment (SMiLE). The ESSMIM was designed following the principles of the {\textquotedblleft}Earth System Education (ESE) learning cycle mode{\textquotedblright} (Chang, 2005): Engage, Explore, Analysis/Explain, as well as Apply and Evaluate. In terms of research design, a one group pretest posttest research design was adopted. The research subjects were a group of 11th grade students from a national senior high-school in Taiwan. Students{\textquoteright} expected and actual perceptions of SMiLE were investigated through the {\textquotedblleft}SMiLE Inventory{\textquotedblright}. The results of this study showed that: (1) students{\textquoteright} scores, of expected SMiLE Inventory, both before and after the experimental teaching were higher than their actual SMiLE scores, (2) compared with previous actual experiences, ESSMIM created a SMiLE which was closer to students{\textquoteright} expectation, and (3) after experiencing the ESSMIM, the difference between students{\textquoteright} expectations and their actual experience of SMiLE was reduced.},
