Abstract

Description

Teaching and Learning Department capstone project (EDUC 3680, Capstone Seminar, Professor Kristen Weeks Neal) - Parent-child interactions and conversations serve as a means for increased, meaningful learning experiences, particularly for children with a developing interest and sense of expertise. Many parent-child conversations, particularly in science museums, involve limited sense-making practices. Through design and collaboration with other domains (e.g. libraries), museums can create a space to enhance parent-child dialogue, increasing collaborative learning and shared knowledge.
