On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Social emotional learning (SEL) is seen as critical for children’s lifelong success. Though most of the research on preschoolers’ SEL is focused on school-based interventions, children’s museums are valuable resources for fostering SEL. Over the last several years, we have conducted a series of studies examining how preschoolers’ engage in SEL in children’s museums. The first study assessed whether preschoolers demonstrate SEL behaviors in children’s museums and if there were differences between SEL in children’s museums compared to other free, play-based settings, like community playgrounds. The second study compared observations of preschoolers’ peer relationship skills in three different types of children’s museum exhibit types, including a) loose parts exhibits; b) scenario-based exhibits; and c) collaborative activity exhibits. And the third study measured what parents/caregivers observe about their child(ren)’s SEL during a children’s museum visit.
In this seminar, Dr. Luke will share results from all three studies and engage participants in discussion about the affordances and constraints for facilitating SEL in an informal learning environment like children’s museums.
This seminar is part of the Child Development and Learning (CDL) Seminar Series.
