Plummer, Julia D.; Crowl, Michele M.; Tanis Ozcelik, Arzu – Research in Science Education, 2021
Informal science educators' (ISEs) work with young children has received limited attention in the literature. We investigated ISEs' goals for preschool-aged audiences (3- to 5-year-old children), methods they describe for achieving these goals, and how ISEs understand young children as "doing science" in their venues. We interviewed 35…
