Studies of Portuguese and British Primary Pupils Learning Science through Simple Activities in the Home.
Cardoso, Maria de Lurdes; Solomon, Joan
International Journal of Science Education, v24 n1 p47-60 Jan 2002
Considers how Portuguese and British parents of primary pupils rose to the challenge of having parents help them by taking part in home science activities, taking into account the recent history of science education in the two countries. Shows that the learning atmosphere is very different from that of school, being more conducive to relaxed and effective talk. (Author/MM)
