News
New Research Resource for Researchers » A new website, http://research2practice.info, provides open access to scores of current peer-reviewed STEM education research studies. Papers from more than 10 mainstream educational journals have been reviewed and then distilled into short briefs written by people familiar with the out-of-school science sector. Led by researchers from the Exploratorium Center for Informal Learning and Schools, the University of Washington LIFE Center, and King's College London, the project is funded by the National Science Foundation and is an experiment to see if current peer-reviewed educational research can be made available, accessible, and useful to informal science educators. The website is browsable, searchable, and sortable. Briefs will continue to be loaded over the summer, and you can sign up to be tweeted or receive a monthly digest to be kept up to date with what is being published. http://research2practice.info
