Priorities and needs of teachers or group leader visiting an Interactive Science Museum

Abstract

The considerations of teachers or groups leaders that visit an Interactive Science Museum are an important factor to improve the non-formal learning in science. To do this, a questionnaire was developed and it was supplied to 218 teachers or group leaders to obtain outstanding information about objectives, pre-visit and post-visit activities, contents of the curriculum contemplated, positive aspects and that they would like to make in the next visit. It’s remarkable the inclusion of school groups of compulsory education, formal education groups such as High School, Vocational Training, Special Education, Adult Education and University as well as social groups like NGOs promoting a research for everyone in an interactive learning space.
