Informal and Non-formal Education: An Outline of History of Science in Museums

April 1, 2014 | Public Programs, Exhibitions
Although a growing number of research articles in recent years have treated the role of informal settings in science learning, the subject of the history of science in museums and its relationship to informal and non-formal education remains less well explored. The aim of this review is to assemble the studies of history of science in science museums and explore the opportunities for the further use of the history of science in science museum education practice.
