Abstract

The chapter acts as a prelude to the rest of this book. Personal and historical perspectives on the value of using out-of-classroom contexts for learning science are given. These are discussed in relation to the debate about the purposes of school science. The nature of learning that occurs in out-of-classroom contexts is considered in terms of its definition, its characteristics and a model that helps us understand how it is different to more formal learning in classrooms.
