Learning in the Museum

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Learning in the Museum begins with a brief history of education in public museums, and a rigorous examination of how the educational theories of Dewey, Piaget, Vygotsky and subsequent theorists 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 can best learn in exhibitions which are physically, socially, and intellectually accessible to every single visitor. This volume serves as a practical guide for all museum professionals on how to adapt their museums to maximize the educational experience of every visitor. It will also be essential reading for educators interested in learning in the museum.
