Description

MaSCot project aims to upgrade the informal science learning experiences regarding the communication of materials science developments through the collaboration of the Department of Primary Education and the Materials Science and Technology department of the University of Crete. This paper presents the preliminary results of the analysis of the educational visits currently organized by the two departments, along with the analysis of the communicated scientific content, detecting the scientific concepts and applications related to societal aspects and students' ideas about those.
