Sliding Doors: Frame Uptake and Rejection by Learners in a Museum‐Based Climate Learning Experience
Science Education, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Science education efforts that support public understanding of modern climate change are critically needed. However, implementing climate‐related learning experiences can be challenging, as public audiences tend to experience a wide range of understandings of and emotions around the issue. In light of these challenges, many scholars have posed
