TEAMS III - Small Museum Exhibit Collaborative

TEAMS是一个由七个小型科学博物馆组成的展览合作项目，将与学术研究人员合作，扩大关于在非正式科学环境中学习的知识，并将这些知识应用于创建八个（四个主题的两个副本）适合小型博物馆和科学中心的巡回科学展览。 研究调查建立在最近的研究结果的社会文化学习的性质在博物馆。 研究人员、博物馆评估人员和博物馆展览设计师之间的密切合作为研究将研究知识快速转移到博物馆实践中的模式提供了一个创新的机会。 通过这一合作努力，该项目在七个小型博物馆内进行能力建设，帮助解决农村地区观众服务不足的更大问题。 研究的一个组成部分支持设计指南，以提高女孩参观STEM展览的效率。

TEAMS, an exhibit collaborative of seven small science museums, will collaborate with academic researchers to expand knowledge about learning in informal science environments and will apply that knowledge to the creation of eight (two copies of four topics) traveling science exhibitions suitable for small museums and science centers. The research investigations build on recent findings about the nature of socio-cultural learning in museums. This close working collaboration among researchers, museum evaluators and museum exhibition designers provides an innovative opportunity to examine a model for rapid transfer of research knowledge into museum practice. Through this collaborative effort the project builds capacity within the seven small museums, helping address the larger problem of under-served audiences in rural areas. One component of the research supports design guidelines to increase effectiveness for girls visiting STEM exhibitions.
