Rethinking the pipeline to engage all students in science education

January 1, 2014 | Media and Technology, Public Programs, Informal/Formal Connections
Through this review of research on public engagement with science, Feinstein, Allen, and Jenkins advocate supporting students as “competent outsiders”—untrained in formal sciences, yet using science in ways relevant to their lives. Both formal and informal settings can be well suited for work in which students translate scientific content and practices into meaningful actions.
