ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

I've read numerous studies on the factors that influence public education at various socio-economic levels. These studies point out differences in discourse, language, culture and motivation that influence how students are taught and what they are interested in learning. Does anyone know of any related research on learning in science museums?  Please reply offline. 

Thanks,
