High-level social and educational issues,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Free-Choice Science Education: How We Learn Science Outside of School (Sociology of Education Series) (Paperback)
Free-Choice Science Education: How We Learn Science Outside Of School is a seminal, college-level collection of discussions on the extent and scope of science learning in America, with particular attention to learning outside the traditional educational system. Under the able editorship of John Falk, essays by different individual authors discuss the absorption of scientific information from such sources as early childhood TV viewing, the value of infrastructure in free-choice science learning, and much more. High-level social and educational issues are thoroughly explored in this intriguing, insightful, thought provoking title.
