Taylor & Francis Ltd Amplifying Informal Science Learning
Book SynopsisThis collection explores the broad landscape of current and future out-of-school science learning environments. Written by leading experts and innovators in informal science learning, these thoughtful and critical essays examine the changing nature of informal institutions such as science museums, zoos, nature centers, planetariums, aquaria, and botanical gardens and their impact on science education. The book examines the learning opportunities and challenges created by community-based experiences including citizen science, makerspaces, science media, escape rooms, hobby groups, and gaming. Based on current practices, case studies, and research, the book focuses on four cross-cutting themes inclusivity, digital engagement, community partnerships, and bridging formal and informal learning to examine how people learn science informally.The book will be of interest to STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) educators both in and out of school desigTable of ContentsPART I: Exhibits and Informal Science Learning 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Stop Working Start Thinking
Book SynopsisWith the spectacular developments in technology accompanying and aiding scientific research over the past few decades, postgraduate students are often encouraged to focus more on generating data than to utilize their most sophisticated piece of equipment: their mind.Stop Working & Start Thinking, Second Edition aims to encourage young researchers to think more clearly about their experiments, from experimental design to data interpretation. This new edition builds on the success of the first edition, with new material throughout and a new chapter on measurement interpretation, including an examination of cryptic assumptions.This book is essential reading for postgraduates who wish to put the mastery back into their M.Sc. and the philosophy back into their PhDs.Table of Contents1. Preamble. 2. Introduction. 3. Science Like what It is Like. 4. How Scientists Work. 5. Observations, Examinations and Experiments. 6. What are you Measuring? 7. Thinking About your Measurements. 8. Interpreting your Measurements. 9. Kinds of Experiments. 10. Here's the Answer, What's the Question? 11. Content and Context. 12. Notes for Postgraduate Students. 13. Postamble.
