- Viewing Science Learning Through an Ecosystem Lens: A Story in Two Parts
- Abstract/Description
- Studying the multidimensional, dynamic and complex qualities of a community-wide science education system must begin by creating an expanded definition of what constitutes a public science education system. A system-wide approach recognises that formal education entities (early childhood, elementary, secondary and post-secondary schools) are critical and necessary components to life-long, life-wide and life-deep science understanding and participation, but even collectively they represent only a small part, both physically and functionally, of the entire system. In a community-wide science education system the entire array of possible science education resources must be considered as equal contributors to public science education. Such community-wide science education system can be likened to a science learning ecosystem.
