“ASTC on Air” spoke with Justin Dillon, professor of science and environmental education at the University of Exeter in Devon, England, United Kingdom; editor-in-chief of the journal “Studies in Science Education; and president of the (U.K.) National Association for Environmental Education.
The conversation explored the future of the informal science field, including whether it will keep growing, what the potential strengths and weaknesses are that he has discovered during his career, the main topics of research that have been explored in recent years, the future trends—and whether all this indicates a bright future of non-formal science education.
