All of the interviewees have mentioned a improvement of the educational experiences in all areas of the Thanksgiving Point properties. They are looking for ways to go to the next level meaning parent-child educational interaction.
Parent-child educational interaction is not something the only Thanksgiving Point is interested in. All children's museums want to someone enhance this parent-child educational interaction.
Scaffolding is bunch of different kinds of acts that you can do. It is intentional. To determine the kinds of scaffolding to use. Schank talks about what he thinks is going on when someone learns. (Book: Inside case based explanation). He described what happened moment by moment as someone learns. Part of this is "expectation failure" which sets off a chain of events in the learner. Expectation failure creates chaos until an explanation is found, then a new expectation is created. Search memory of experiences to find a similar pattern that makes sense of the expectation failure. Each step in Schank's list of moment by moment learning can be scaffolded. There are specific things you can do to scaffold learning.
What is the essence of the parent-child interaction? Father-child or mother-child or grandfather or grandmother...Give up authority role...make it fun for both parties. They brought to the museum what they practice at home.
