Development and implementation of digital nonformal learning environments for the education of students in Science
Abstract
The recognized educational value of visits to non-formal learning spaces (e.g. Science Centers) brings to the fore the need for their digitalization, so that there is even easier access and a better connection with the school reality. This paper presents the digitalization of the Science and Technology Center “Science in the City” located in the Old Town of Rethymnon as well as the views of five creators of science center, recorded through interviews, after the use of this digitalized material to students. The results show that creators of science center recognize the basic digitalization principles that were used and the possibility of connecting the Digital science center with the educational reality.
