From the early 1900s, with the passage of time and changes in cultural norms in societies, this genre of exhibits evolved in response to the changes in entertainment, expectations and expressed needs of museum visitors. The challenge has always been to provide meaningful, relevant experiences to visitors, and this is still the aim today. Dioramas are also increasingly valued as learning tools. Contributions in this book include historical and theoretical aspects of learning with natural history dioramas as well as chapters on science learning activities with dioramas. In practice, dioramas are used by a wide range of educational practitioners to assist learners in developing and understanding specific science concepts. In this learning process, dioramas not only contribute to scientific understanding and cultural awareness, but also reconnect wide audiences to the natural world and thereby contribute to the well-being of societies. In the simultaneously published book: “Natural History Dioramas – Traditional Exhibits for Current Educational Themes, Socio-cultural Aspects” the editors focus on socio-cultural issues and the potential of using dioramas to engage various audiences with – and in – contemporary debates and big issues, which society and the natural environment are facing.Science educationLearningInstructionTeachingCulture—Study and teachingScience Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O27000Learning & Instructionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O22000Teaching and Teacher Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O31000Cultural and Media Studies, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/400000Science education.Learning.Instruction.Teaching.Culture—Study and teaching.Science Education.Learning & Instruction.Teaching and Teacher Education.Cultural and Media Studies, general.508.074Scheersoi Annetteedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtTunnicliffe Sue Daleedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910337749903321Natural History Dioramas – Traditional Exhibits for Current Educational Themes2523969UNINA
