Ari,
Much has been published on the issue, and I assume your literature search has found most. But you may have not searched under "family learning". I think you will find additional literature that way in peer-reviewed journals and on informalscience.org. Lynn Dierking has worked extensively in this arena and will be a good contact.
Cheers,
Martin

Subject: Parent-Child Interactions in Informal Learning Settings
ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************
Hello everyone,
I'm working on my thesis paper for my museology degree at UW. I'm researching parent-child interactions and how to encourage more parental facilitation. My work is for informal learning settings in general, but I'm focusing on science museums/centers. (Additionally, I'm also interested in how this might relate to visitor motivations or "identities", to use Falk's terminology.)
I was hoping that some people here might have some information about the subject, such as studies or examples from your own institutions.
And if you are directly working on this subject, I'd be interested in speaking.
Thank you all so much and enjoy the rest of your weekend,
Ari Einbinder
Master's Candidate, University of Washington, Museology
