Learning in the Museum (Museum Meanings)by George E. Hein
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:"Learning in the Museum" confronts the educational role which museums can have and shows how research in visitor studies and the philosophy of education can be applied to facilitate a meaningful educational experience in museums. The book contains a brief history of education in public museums, and goes on to examine how the educational theories of Dewey, Piaget, Vygotsky relate to learning in the museum. A survey of the wide range of research methods employed in visitor studies is illustrated with examples taken from museums around the world. George E. Hein concludes that visitors best learn when knowledge is actively constructed in their own minds, and provides a model of the "constructivist museum"--one with exhibitions which are physically, socially, and intellectually accessible to every single visitor. Synopsis:As well as providing a meaningful theoretical basis to museum education, this volume serves as a practical guide for all museum professionals on how to adopt their museums to maximize the educational experience of every visitor. It begins with a brief history of education in public museums and moves into a survey of the wide range of research methods employed in visitor studies. The author then shows how this research, combined with the philosophy of education, can be applied to facilitate a meaningful educational experience in museums.
