Special Interest Group (ILER-SIG)
Informal Learning Environments Research is a Special Interest Group within the American Educational Research Association (AERA). Its mission is to further educational research in informal learning environments such as science centers, museums, zoos, aquariums, and nature centers, and to promote a community of practice interested in establishing and maintaining informal learning environments conducive to better understanding of teaching and learning.
The ILER-SIG meets annually at the AERA conferences, holds meetings, sessions, events and provides a quarterly newsletter. Join them in San Diego this year for the AERA Annual Meeting, April 13-17.
