The themes pursued include the professionalization of sociology its development and standing in the universities; the impact on it of Marxism and feminism and the major debates over positivism and empiricism, quantitative methods, linguistic analysis; and numerous other crucial methodological and theoretical concerns.

It uses the metaphor of a "landscape" as it emphasises how the authors see the possible movement within a landscape that is inclusive of formal, informal and free-choice opportunities. The book explores opportunities to change formal school science education via perspectives and achievements from the informal and free-choice science education sector within the wider lifelong, life-wide education landscape. Additionally it explores how science learning that occurs in a more inclusive landscape can demonstrate the potential power of these opportunities to address issues of relevance and engagement that currently plague the learning of science in school settings. Combining specific contexts, case studies and more general examples, the book examines the science learning landscapes by means of the lens of an ecosystem and the case of the Synergies longitudinal research project. It explores the relationships between school and museum, and relates the lessons learned through encounters with a narwhal. It discusses science communication, school-community partnerships, socioscientific issues, outreach education, digital platforms and the notion of a learning ecology.ScienceStudy and teachingLearning, Psychology ofStudy skillsEnvironmental educationContinuing educationScience EducationInstructional PsychologyStudy and Learning SkillsEnvironmental and Sustainability EducationLifelong LearningScienceStudy and teaching.Learning, Psychology of.Study skills.Environmental education.Continuing education.Science Education.Instructional Psychology.Study and Learning Skills.Environmental and Sustainability Education.Lifelong Learning.507.1Corrigan Deborahedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBuntting Cathyedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtJones Alisteredthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtLoughran Johnedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910299529303321Navigating the Changing Landscape of Formal and Informal Science Learning Opportunities2534911UNINA
