Overview
Bekerman (anthropology of education, Hebrew U. of Jerusalem) compiles 14 essays on informal learning and education in places such as museums, homes, libraries, workplaces, classrooms, and recreation areas. An international group of contributors questions what is considered learning and looks at a variety of processes in which it happens. The essays study using informal education in schools, teaching math at home, identity and agency, after-school programs, learning through popular culture, political learning, science and technology museums, group work, nonformal pedagogy, self-educating through the Internet, and disabled learning.
