The Learning in a Museum course explores the educational value and potential of present-day museums for learning.
The course investigates strategies educators can use to plan, implement and evaluate learning in a museum, and more generally transform their students’ museum experiences into connected, engaging, and integrated activities which lead to their intellectual growth.
Throughout the course, participants will:
- discuss the meaning of museum learning and how to set the stage for it
- review the learning-in-a-museum competences and evaluate strategies for currently working within them
- creatively adapt museum learning to educational projects and design active tasks for museum learning
