NAVIGATING THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE OF FORMAL AND...

This book presents research involving learning opportunities that are afforded to learners of
science when the focus is on linking the formal and informal science education sectors. It uses
the metaphor of a landscape as it emphasises how the authors see the possible movement within a
landscape that is inclusive of formal  informal and free-choice opportunities. The book
explores opportunities to change formal school science education via perspectives and
achievements from the informal and free-choice science education sector within the wider
lifelong  life-wide education landscape. Additionally it explores how science learning that
occurs in a more inclusive landscape can demonstrate the potential power of these opportunities
to address issues of relevance and engagement that currently plague the learning of science in
school settings. Combining specific contexts  case studies and more general examples  the book
examines the science learning landscapes by means of the lens of an ecosystem and the case of
the Synergies longitudinal research project. It explores the relationships between school and
museum  and relates the lessons learned through encounters with a narwhal. It discusses science
communication  school-community partnerships  socioscientific issues  outreach education 
digital platforms and the notion of a learning ecology.
