像动物园、水族馆、科学中心和植物园这样的非正式学习机构在美国公众中很受欢迎。许多网站提供与科学相关的活动,这表明网站的“生态”在科学和STEM(科学,技术,工程,数学)学习方面存在程度差异。了解公众对STEM学习生态的看法可以为提高美国STEM素养的决策提供信息。目前的定性研究使用互动研讨会来了解公众对动物园和水族馆(Z/As)的看法,特别是与其他环境相比,它们有可能支持STEM学习。参观者在机构和日常生活中发现了各种各样的环境,在那里他们体验了STEM学习机会。他们遇到的主要STEM学科是科学,尽管机会并不明确。他们还认识到,这些设置提供了通过工作人员促进学习技术,工程和数学的潜力。他们将Z/A与其他文化组织区分开来,因为有机会学习与动物有关的科学。STEM学习在非正式环境中的影响进行了讨论,其潜力,使公众参与STEM正规教育背景之外。
Informal learning institutions like zoos, aquariums, science centers, and botanic gardens are popular among the American public. Many offer science-related activities, suggesting an “ecology” of sites varying in degree with regards to science and STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) learning in general. Understanding public perceptions of the STEM learning ecology can inform decisions about increasing STEM literacy in the United States. The current qualitative study used interactive workshops to understand the public’s perceptions of zoos and aquariums (Z/As) in particular, compared to other settings, for their potential to support STEM learning. Visitors identified a wide range of settings in institutions and their everyday lives where they experienced STEM learning opportunities. The primary STEM discipline they encountered was science, even though the opportunities were not explicit. They also recognized that these settings offer the potential for learning about technology, engineering, and math through staff facilitation. They distinguished Z/As from other cultural organizations because of opportunities to learn about science as it related to animals. Implications for STEM learning in informal settings are discussed for its potential to engage the public in STEM outside of the formal education context.
