Informal learning in math, science, and technology is an increasingly important vehicle for educating the public. Throughout their lifetime, the average citizen will spend a much greater amount of time in informal learning environments than in school. For these efforts to continue without benefit of understanding, the dynamics of what makes informal learning experiences work, is a waste of valuable funding resources. Research Communications Ltd. (RCL) proposes an effort to investigate what has been learned about informal learning in math, science, and technology and to develop some directions for future research in this important area. The first step in the process would be to review the existing literature in the three primary areas of informal education for math, science, and technology: television/radio, community projects, and science museums and technology centers with a focus on evaluation studies that have shown what strategies have worked and those that have not. The outcome of this effort would be a comprehensive publication of what is currently known about informal learning research in math, science and technology.

数学、科学和技术方面的非正式学习是一种 越来越重要的教育工具。 在他们的一生中，普通公民将花费 在非正式学习中花费更多的时间 环境比学校。 为了这些努力， 在没有理解的情况下继续， 是什么让非正式的学习经验的工作，是一个 浪费宝贵的资金资源。 研究 通信有限公司（RCL）建议努力， 调查关于非正式学习的经验 在数学、科学和技术方面， 为今后在这一重要领域的研究指明了方向。 这一进程的第一步是审查 三个主要领域的现有文献， 数学、科学和技术的非正式教育： 电视/广播、社区项目和科学博物馆 和技术中心，重点是评估研究 已经显示了哪些策略有效， 没有的人。 这一努力的结果将是 全面出版目前已知的内容 关于数学、科学和 技术.
