Description
This book shares ideas and approaches for teachers in schools and for curators and educators in museums and centres, in order to exploit the potential of museums and centres in popularising science and technology. The articles included are drawn from many different centres, and from many different countries of the Commonwealth. Section 1 assesses local needs and how to address them through outreach programmes. Section 2 looks at ways in which teachers can increase the effectiveness of a visit and formats for evaluating the visit. Section 3 looks at the vexing issues of new technologies, which are costly – yet an important and very popular dimension of the science centre experience. Section 4 focuses on research into effective learning in science centres and museums.
