Recommendations for training guides, explainers and scientists for communicating STEM to the public

August 1, 2011 | Professional Development, Conferences, and Networks
In informal learning environments, science experts, explainers, and guides need support in their work to educate the general public in STEM topics. This study surveyed participants and trainers in communications training programs to determine the best methods for achieving such a purpose. The researchers suggest that training programs be practical, authentic and interactive, and provide participants opportunities for feedback.
