The Regents of the University of Minnesota, through its Office of Sponsored Projects Administration, has been awarded a $499,743 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076). The grant will fund a "Practitioner-Driven Synthesis of Museum Family Learning Conversations Research" project, which aims to bridge research and practitioner knowledge to inform the future of museum design and museum-based learning research. The project team, comprising researchers, librarians, museum educators, and experience designers, will gather, scope, and synthesize 25 years of research and evaluation on family learning conversations in museum settings. By formally incorporating practitioner-generated knowledge, the project seeks to spark the next generation of design and research on family learning in museums. This project is structured to achieve broad impacts by making research knowledge more accessible to practitioners and generating new questions and insights to advance the field.
