Contemporary museums are not only places where collections are protected and exhibited; they are also effective and efficient learning and teaching environments. However, both contemporary and ...traditional museums need to be improved in terms of their educational functions. This study planned and implemented a museum tour addressing multiple intelligences for first graders at primary school with the purpose of demonstrating an effective museum tour. The convenience sampling method was used for determining the participants of the study. The researcher, together with 5 primary school teachers, 120 first-grade students and 44 undergraduates from the Department of Primary Education at the Faculty of Education participated in the study. This study was designed as action research, which is one of the qualitative research designs. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews, observations, and student-recalled questionnaires. The study showed that the teachers’ and the undergraduates’ thoughts about the planning and implementation were mostly positive, especially in terms of students’ motivation, detail planning and the undergraduates’ role of the implementation as qualified staff. Moreover, the findings related to the students’ learning indicated that it was stored in their long-term memory. As a result of the study, the museum tour plan addressing multiple intelligences for first graders will be an example of effective museum education for teachers and museum educators in various ways.
In this article I critically examine the historical context of science education in a natural history museum and its relevance to using museum resources to teach science today. I begin with a ...discussion of the historical display of race and its relevance to my practice of using the Museum's resources to teach science. I continue with a critical review of the history of the education department in a natural history museum to demonstrate the historical constitution of current practices of the education department. Using sociocultural constructs around identity formation and transformation, I move to the present with a case study of a teacher who transforms the structure of science education in her classroom and school as a result of her identity transformation and association with a museum-based professional education program.PUBLICATION ABSTRACT
Museums can be simple containers of heritage, but they can also perform functions of communication, education, socialization and integration. In addition, contemporary art museums can generate ...artistic heritage, because educational actions occur inside them that create and influence feelings of ownership towards the works of art among the public. These feelings can be described as the absence of ownership, latent ownership, clear ownership, and expanded ownership. We analyze these theoretical principles, based on a study in which we explore each of them with educational actions developed in Spanish, European and American contemporary art museums. This study is part of a great national research project that began in 1999 in Oviedo University (Spain).
Under the COVID-19 situation, museum activities on the internet have boosted up in amounts of contents and in the range of diversity. Digital Archives are also promoted and utilized for publicizing ...of storage collections, research papers, in many museums. In this paper, digital archiving of educational activities of museums were focused, describing the case of Osaka Museum of Natural history as an example. The forms of streaming are selected by types of education activities for better communication, and we found some advantages and limitations for online educations. Some of the limitation can be improved by additional activities. The benefits of contents archiving of museum educational movies are also discussed.
The exhibition facilities at the Yachiyo no Oka Museum of Art consist of 15 studio buildings. One is used for special exhibitions while the others are assigned to 14 individual artists who display ...their work there throughout the course of one year. The artists also conduct workshops and go to local elementary and junior high schools to teach painting. This essay discusses the concept of art museums as hubs for educational activities and lifelong learning focusing on this museum's system, which is unique in Japan. A look at the museum and its visitors is followed by a consideration of educational activities conducted in cooperation with artists, based on a questionnaire and interviews. Finally, the results of these educational activities and the challenges they present are summarized and prospects for the future are outlined.

The study of adult education has much to offer museum education, particularly from the lens of nonformal education-education that takes place outside formal educational settings. Through analysis of ...two case studies of nonformal education at museums (parks, historical sites, and cultural institutions), findings reveal a much more complex picture of teaching in museums than is usually recognized. They shed light on the unique context and practice of museum education that significantly impacts the museum experience.
This paper presents a course assignment that required pre-service teacher education students to reflect on a museum in the Fort Worth and Dallas Metroplex in Texas. As part of their art education ...course at the College of Visual Arts and Design of the University of North Texas, students experimented with a variety of media and concepts to develop the skills necessary to bring art to life for children. These art-making and related experiences correlated with and reinforced the concepts introduced in the lecture portion of the class. Both lecture and studio explored the universal themes of personal identity, the natural and man-made environment, and storytelling as they appear throughout the history of art and are relevant to children’s art today. This paper presents how a museum assignment is designed to further help them to appreciate a variety of art forms while analyzing the content and form followed by their own interpretation, and finally exploring ways to utilize the museum sources in their teaching.
O artigo pretende abordar os desafios e as potencialidades do ensino de História nos museus, em um cenário de predomínio da memória como referência para narrativas e lutas políticas. Os materiais ...pedagógicos produzidos pelos museus serão um ponto de partida para perceber concepções de história, memória e aprendizagem instrumentalizadas pelos museus históricos com o objetivo de educar. O museu, concebido como espaço de poder, é produtor de sentidos do passado e, portanto, suas múltiplas linguagens fomentam acessos para a compreensão de permanências e rupturas dos projetos de História nacional. Neste sentido, a importância da preservação das fontes pedagógicas é realçada, como proposta para a construção de interpretações sobre a educação museal no Brasil.This article analyzes the challenges and the potential of teaching history in museums, a scenario in which memory predominates as a reference for narratives and political confrontation. In the face of the growing demand of memory, museums are meaningful spaces of production and diffusion of the discourse on the past. Historical museums, regarded as spaces of power, afford pedagogical materials as starting points for the perception of the concepts of history, memory, and learning and lend meaning to the past. Their multiple languages lead to the understanding of the continuity and the discontinuity of the national history projects. The importance of preserving pedagogical sources is highlighted within the framework of museum education in Brazil.
