Open labs for well-educated minds transforming the science lab into a more authentic investigation

Abstract

"The image we have of a science course is often rooted in the laboratory, perceived as a place for experimentation and discovery of the world. However, in CEGEP, as in high school, the reality of laboratory experiments often turns out to be a sequence of facts to be memorized and a string of equations disconnected from the real world. How can we transform these laboratories into fundamental elements of scientific understanding? Let’s delve into this reflection by exploring the impact of open laboratories on the conception of science and its learning." -- AQPC
