Abstract

With the fast development of science and technology, science education is becoming more and more important. However, traditional science education methods are not effective and seems to decline interest among young people for science study. This paper presents a new learning strategy for effective science learning. This strategy integrates an online learning platform, Edmodo, to provide abundant resources, convenient communications, and inquiry learning opportunities. Via Edmodo, science learning is not restricted within a museum or a school. Learners could read science articles, discuss with others and visit exhibitions online. The experimental results show that participants performance in science learning is significantly improved by the informal science education activity based on Edmodo and most participants are satisfied with this science education strategy. Thus, this study may inspire museums or science education associations to integrate Edmodo into science education to improve the effectiveness of science learning.
