Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the public school system, many art teachers have a similar problem: how to provide students with rich museum experiences that tie in with their curriculum and state standards when they are discouraged by budget problems and a lack of support? I set out to prove that with enough research, planning, and outreach any teacher can be successful in integrating museum education in the classroom. My hope is for more teachers to see the potential in museum-school partnerships whether they operate in the traditional sense, utilize unconventional local resources, or incorporate online supports. I created a study aimed at reaching the core of the students' intrinsic motivations while incorporating rich experiences to create enduring understanding. I looked at the history of museum education, researched that has been done on the impact of museum education, how to measure that impact, and how it can affects the individual learner.

Book excerpt: The story of the civil rights movement. The characteristics of Japanese art and culture. The importance of innovation. The history of your community. No matter the subject area or the grade level, a school museum project can improve learning and teaching. Unlike science fairs or art shows, which highlight the work of individuals, school museums are collaborative, multifaceted projects that build understanding. As students engage in meaningful work and deepen their knowledge of a specific topic, teachers gain insight into best instructional practices. Through photographs and classroom examples, former curriculum director, teacher, and museum educator Linda D'Acquisto shows how school museums inspire students' curiosity and creativity; encourage responsibility and teamwork; and strengthen writing, communication, research, and problem-solving skills. You will learn the process for developing your own exhibition, including strategies for * incorporating academic content standards * assessing learning and understanding * guiding research, writing, and design * promoting partnerships among students, colleagues, parents, and the community * using the completed museum as a teaching tool With its step-by-step approach and practical resources, Learning on Display will help you transform your curriculum into motivating museum projects that make class work rigorous, memorable, and fun.

This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This special edition of the Journal of Artistic and Creative Education (JACE) brings together authors from across Australia discussing issues central to the ongoing development and importance of education within museums. What are the distinctive characteristics and significance of museum education? How does learning occur in museums and what does it look like? Who is engaged in museum education and where does it take place? What are some of the benefits of museum education? This edition explores these broad questions through nine articles that individually address the role of museum learning as providing a transformative experience in a rich, ‘hands-on’ and diverse environment. The authors present a wide array of case studies and examples from their institutions and their research, providing practical and invigorating discussions on the purpose, pedagogy and practice of museum education. At a time when there are significant cuts being made to education budgets in Australia, thereby often limiting excursions to museums and other cultural sites, it seems timely to publish a special edition that sheds light on the power of learning in museums and to make a case for museum learning. Moreover, museums are already producing effective learning experi-ences that are highly appreciated by their users, and these deserve to be celebrated. This celebration will hopefully lead to increased appreciation and understanding of the educational possibilities in museums and galleries, of why professionals have chosen to work in particular ways and the outcomes of their work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study follows the development and changes of an educational program created for the Frye Art Museum and designed to help elementary school students and their teachers have a more meaningful visit; and to meet the needs of the educational generalist in teaching art and incorporating the visual arts into the school curriculum. Two 5th grade classrooms from the Seattle area took part in the study in which the use of pre-visit classroom lessons, a museum tour, and post-visit lessons were observed and evaluated. The results indicate a need for additional development and design change, however, results also show that the program is appealing, engaging, and furthered the development of visual perception of both teachers and students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time, the award-winning Education Department of the J. Paul Getty Museum is making one of its much-lauded K–12 curricula available nationwide in an attractive and inexpensive print format. Art & Science was developed by the Getty’s expert educators, scientists, curators, and conservators, and tested by classroom teachers, and it connects to national and California state standards. Teachers and parents will find engaging lessons and activities divided into beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels for step-by-step learning. Art & Science mines the treasures of the Getty Museum to explore the many intersections of the visual arts with scientific disciplines. Full-color images of antiquities, decorative arts, drawings, manuscripts, painting, photography, and sculpture illuminate lesson plans about, for example: • The laws of physics that keep a bronze sculpture of a juggler from tipping over • The science that allows photographers to manipulate light and capture images on paper • The processes of radiation and convection that turn clay into porcelain • Scientific observation of the natural world as the subject for art • How scientists removed 2,000 years of oxidation and encrustation to reveal a priceless ancient sculpture The curriculum also contains a trove of resources, including handouts, “Questions for Teaching,” a timeline, glossary, and list of print and web sources for further research. There are also links to additional related lessons and images available on the Getty website. The full-page color images and special “lay flat” binding of Art & Science make it ideal for use with a digital document reader.

Download or read book Using Museums as an Educational Resource written by Graeme K. Talboys and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-17 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visits to museums have long been an important aspect of the education of young people and in recent years it has been increasingly recognised that education is core to the purpose of the museum. Not only do they introduce students to the many and varied forms of our material culture, they also introduce them to social, historical and scientific encounters that are difficult to find elsewhere. The second edition of this popular book takes account of the ongoing changes in both museums and education to provide a comprehensive introduction for student teachers, practising teachers and other educators to all that is required to make good educational use of museums. It explores what a museum is, their value in primary and secondary education and why they require special teaching skills. It then goes on to look at the practicalities of planning, preparing and conducting a visit, including risk assessment. Next, it introduces the basic skills involved in working with the resources that are required to make the best educational use of museums, including online and digital resources. Finally, the author considers ways of following-up work done outside the classroom, including some of the longer term strategies that teachers should consider.
Download or read book Museum Learning Environments written by Dawn M. Mackety and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A survey was conducted among 139 elementary public, private, parochial, charter, and home school teachers to help Kingman Museum in Battle Creek, Michigan re-establish educational programming with area schools after having been closed for two years. The purpose of the study was to identify museum programs that teachers are most likely to use, the curriculum standards that those programs must meet, and teachers' preferences regarding museum program environments. The instrument was a 90-item self-administered questionnaire. The study used survey research methods approved by the Western Michigan University (WMU) Human Subjects Institutional Review Board. Results revealed that teachers were most likely to use in-class programs presented by museum staff or trained volunteers, staff-guided museum visits, traveling exhibits, resource kits, and planetarium programs; and were least likely to visit Kingman Museum multiple times in a school year. Teachers reported that meeting curriculum standards at all levels was very important with priority given to the following order: school standards, teacher's own classroom standards, state standards, national standards, and county intermediate school district standards. Teachers' preferred museum program environments that integrate hands-on activities, use a variety of learning styles and critical thinking skills, help students apply what they are learning to their daily lives, are equally fun and educational, involve physical activity during some or most of the visit, and allow students to learn with a partner or in teams. Teachers reported that the maximum amount of time they could devote to a Kingman Museum visit (not including travel time) was one to two hours. (Contains 5 tables.).
Download or read book Exploring How Teachers Apply Art Museum Professional Development to Their Practices written by Julie Etheridge and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This doctoral dissertation investigated the art museum summer teacher workshop model of professional development with the intention to better understand how in-service generalist teachers and art specialist teachers apply their experiences and learning once they have returned to their classrooms. The usefulness of professional development programs experienced at the district level has often been questioned due to a lack of connection to actual classroom practice (Guskey, 2009). In contrast, the art museum summer institute model of professional development is considered more successful as it offers rich learning experiences and can provide more resources than school district-supported workshops (Charland, 2008). While some studies have investigated teachers learning art museum pedagogy (Hausman, 1966; Hsieh, 2008; Sandell and Zimmerman, 2017), they are all from the perspective of the museum educator. This study is positioned from the perspective of in-service generalist and art teachers and their framing of the curricular and pedagogical experience in museum summer institutes and their own classrooms. To investigate the phenomenon, I designed a comparative case study in which I acted as a participant-observer in two professional development art museum summer institute programs in 2018 and recruited a total of eight in-service teachers, whose use of the curricular materials in their classroom practices I followed over the 2018-2019 academic year. Concurrently I conducted an autoethnographic study of my own use of the curricular materials in my grade 6 classroom. To frame this study, I applied curriculum theorist Dwayne Huebner's (1968/2008) approach to language to understand curricula, which also provided the interpretive framework to analyze the data along with his Five Value System (1966/2008). Participating generalist and art specialist educators in this study had distinct experiences at the summer institutes; the two groups approached the art museum curricula with different objectives and viewpoints. I found that the art museum was perceived as a safe space for art specialists; the generalist teachers readily incorporated works of art into their lessons yet avoided discussing the aesthetic qualities of the works; iv standardized approaches to teaching limited what teachers could apply from their learning at the summer institutes; and that subtle power dynamics and tensions found in the participants' school environments affected their curricula and restricted their ability to select specific types of professional development. The findings of this study suggest that professional development designed by art museum educators for in-service teachers should aim to strengthen instruction of Visual Thinking Strategies, focus more on how teachers can tackle socially challenging topics, provide more instruction on how to incorporate aesthetics into a discussion, offer more follow-up with the in-service teachers once the program has completed, and consider other channels to provide professional development for in-service teachers who cannot attend art museum summer institute programs.
