Enhancing Science Learning through Learning Experiences outside School (LEOS): How to Learn Better during Visits to Museums, Science Centers, and Science Fieldtrips de Sandhya Devi Coll

Enhancing Science Learning through Learning Experiences outside School (LEOS): How to Learn Better during Visits to Museums, Science Centers, and Science Fieldtrips

Autor Sandhya Devi Coll, Richard K. Coll
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 sep 2019
The authors provide practical, research-informed, guidelines and detailed lesson plans that improve learning of chemical, physical, biological, and Earth & space sciences. The context for learning is the myriad of exciting opportunities provided by informal science institutions such as zoos, museums, space centers and the outdoors. Many such institutions seek to educate the public and inspire budding scientists. Visits outside school help students relate science to everyday life, providing strong motivation to learn science for all abilities. This book shows the key to making such visits effective, is when they are linked to classroom learning using a learning management system, drawing upon modern students’ fascination with digital technologies and mobile devices.

Recenzii

"The need to enhance the quality of the learning of science that takes place in formal educational contexts (schools) is now recognised world-wide. The value of other contexts as such- for example, museums, zoos, botanical gardens, and computer-based access to these- are gradually being identified and their contribution to the learning in formal contexts established. At the same time, the descriptors of the learning that may take place- free-choice, non-formal, informal – are being refined. This plethora of opportunities places great demands on science teachers, who have to address definite learning objectives in particular subjects –normally physics, chemistry, biology, earth science- and with specific groups of students. This volume gives practical advice, based on research, to teachers on how this may best be done. By using that advice, teachers will most effectively prepare students for the multi-model world in which the social media play an increasing part."

- John K. Gilbert, Professor Emeritus, The University of Reading
