The new special issue of LUMAT: International Journal on Math, Science and Technology Education assembles eight international articles on educational experiences related to out-of-school learning. Articles highlight the relevance of out-of-school learning opportunities from two main perspectives.
The first perspective considers the teachers’ views and perceptions about the facilitators and constraints of out-of-school learning, and likewise the process of changing these views among science student teachers and in-service teachers. The second perspective constitutes of studies exploring science and mathematics learning opportunities in applied out-of-school settings such as science camps, exhibitions, Olympiads and photography galleries.
The Guest Editors of the issues are Valeria M. Cabello (Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Chile) and Vesna Ferk Savec (University of Ljubljana, Slovenia).
