Informal Learning Environments Research
Special Interest Group
The Informal Learning Environments Research SIG (ILER SIG)is a special
interest group of the American Educational Research Association (AERA,
which can be found at http://aera.net). Membership in the SIG does not
require membership in AERA, though it is recommended.
The purpose of the Informal Learning Environments Research SIG is to further
educational research in informal learning environments such as science centers,
museums, zoos, aquariums, and nature centers, and to promote a community of
practice interested in establishing and maintaining informal learning
environments conducive to better understanding of teaching and learning.
After three years of offering sessions on learning in museums and other
informal settings at the AERA annual meetings in San Diego, Montreal, and
New Orleans (including a joint day of programs with NARST), we look forward
to an enriched and expanded effort next year.
If you have already joined ILER, please share this information with a friend.
The more ILER members we have who are also AERA members, the more sessions we
will have at the next AERA annual meeting. Please join or renew by April 1st if
possible.
