2021 Poster – Productive Struggle: Supporting Emotion and Challenge in Informal Science Learning

November 4th, 2021 | RESEARCH

The Developing Guidelines for Designing Challenging and Rewarding Interactive Science Exhibits project is a Research in Service to Practice grant running from 10/1/2016-9/30/2021. We have used a Design-Based Research (DBR) approach to refine a framework about exhibit design practices that support learners through the emotional aspects of “productive struggle” as we built three science museum exhibits.

This poster was presented at the 2021 NSF AISL Awardee Meeting.
