For art to become personally meaningful to visitors, museums need to view art interpretation as a narrative inquiry process. General museum visitors without art expertise naturally make meaning of art by constructing stories around a work to relate to it. Narrative inquiry, a story based exploration of experience, fits into contemporary museum education theory because it is a constructive and participatory meaning making process. This thesis examines how art museums can build upon visitors' natural interpretive behaviors, by employing art-based narrative inquiry practices and using the work of art as a narrative story text. Individuals learn when their personal narrative comes into conflict with the narrative of the museum and they negotiate new meaning. This kind of narrative learning is a process of inquiry that visitors must engage in themselves. The art museum interpretive experience can foster in visitors the ability to engage in an art-based narrative inquiry process by suspending disbelief,recalling personal memories, comparing different narrative versions, imagining possible meanings, and re-storying experiences into new understandings. This research text explores these topics through a narrative based method of inquiry comprised of a series of autobiographical stories describing the researcher's experiences in coming to understand the relationship between narrative inquiry and art museum education.

A dissertação aborda as relações entre arquitetura, artes plásticas e teatro da forma como estas aparecem na obra da arquiteta Lina Bo Bardi. Partindo do estudo das arquiteturas cênicas projetadas entre 1960 e 1985, bem como da trajetória dos diretores e grupos teatrais nelas envolvidos, procuramos identificar os procedimentos projetuais acionados pela arquiteta, assim como as relações estabelecidas com o conjunto de sua obra, investigando possíveis articulações com o panorama artístico nacional e internacional. A investigação em torno da dimensão urbana tomada por algumas das montagens teatrais estudadas, bem como da relação destas com o projeto museográfico e atividades dos museus aos quais a arquiteta esteve ligada (especialmente o Museu de Arte de São Paulo, o Museu de Arte Modena da Bahia e o Museu de Arte Popular do Unhão) nos levou a tecer uma série de possíveis relações entre os campos da arquitetura, das artes plásticas e do teatro, abrindo a possibilidade de reflexão sobre os procedimentos projetuais adotados e sobre as perspectivas vislumbradas para a arquitetura no sentido do que Lina chamou de uma \"re-proposição não perfeccionista do racionalismo\". / The dissertation correlates architeture, fine arts and theatre and how these subjects arise in Lina Bo Bardi´s work. Starting from the study of the scenical projects created between 1960 and 1985 and broaching the director´s and theatrical groups involved on it, this treatise tries to identify the projectual proceedings applied by the architect, as well as the relations established with her work and investigating possible links with with the nacional and international artistic panorama. The analysis of the urban dimension reached by some of the studied plays as well as its approach with the project and the activities developed at the museums to which Lina was related (especially to the São Paulo Art Museum - MASP, to the Bahia´s Modern Art Museum and to the Unhão Popular Art Museum) takes us to possible relations between architecture, fine arts and theatre. It also takes us to possible reflexions on the projectual preceedings adopted and the descried perspectives for architecture, or to what Lina called as a \"re-proposition non perfectionist of the rationalism\".

學校教育與美術館教育在美術教育理念上有著共同的理想與目標，只是兩者在實施內容與方法上有所差異。兩者若能建立良好的互動與合作關係，不但對學生的學習效果可產生極大的影響，同時也符合美術館教育功能的發揮。目前國內多數美術館以在美術館內辦理教師研習活動，培訓學校教師具有運用美術館能力作為發展館校合作的一種方式。然而，美術館在辦理此種研習活動時，教師需求為一重要的考量因素，同時也必須使教師瞭解美術館舉辦教師研習活動的目的與意義，進而達成兩者發展合作關係的基礎。 本研究先運用文獻分析法探討國內外美術教育與美術館教育的理論發展趨勢，以作為建立兩者合作互動的理論基礎。進而從文獻與親自訪查兩方面，蒐集國內外美術館建立館校合作的模式與舉辦教師研習活動的內容與方式。最後，則以問卷、焦點團體與電話訪談三方面來對國中美術教師進行調查訪問，探討其對美術館舉辦教師研習活動的需求與館校合作方式的意見。研究者則根據此三方面的調查資料作一綜合分析比較，提出以下十點結論： 一、美術教師認同美術館對學校師生具有各種不同的教育功能。 二、美術教師對於運用美術館資源從事教學的知能仍有待加強。 三、美術教師在運用美術館資源上仍面臨許多障礙。 四、美術館的展示內容與方式對一般國中學生的學習接受程度有所困難，影響學生的學習意願。 五、美術教師認同美術館舉辦教師研習活動的目的，同時認為有參加此種研習活動的需求。 六、美術教師參加研習活動的需求在於獲得教學資源與藝術鑑賞教學法的運用。 七、美術教師對教師研習活動的舉辦類型與課程內容需求以教學上的實用性需求高於理論知識性、學校課堂上的教學需求高於以美術館為教學環境的需求以及鑑賞教學需求高於創作教學需求。 八、美術教師對研習活動的教學方式以實作性的需求較高，在師資來源上則偏好有實際教學經驗的美術教師。 九、美術教師對研習活動的舉辦時間以寒暑假的需求最高。 十、美術教師對於與美術館互動方式的意見上，以希望美術館能出版與展示相關的教學資源，並在班級參觀美術館時提供展示解說與活動。 根據上述結論，研究者進一步提出下列四方面建議，希望能提供給相關單位參考。 一、美術館應加強製作可提供給學校作為教學運用的教學資源媒體，並建立學校購置管道的途徑。 二、在教師研習的規畫內容與方式上，應注重教師所具有的成人需求特性。 三、美術館應嘗試與學校建立各種互動與溝通的管道。 四、將美術館教育內容納入九年一貫的課程領域中。 第一章 緒論 第一節 問題背景與研究動機 第二節 研究目的與問題 第三節 研究範圍與限制 第四節 名詞解釋 第二章 文獻探討 第一節 國中美術教育的理論與發展現況 一、現今美術教育的理論發展探討 二、我國國中美術教育的課程內容發展 三、國中美術教師的專業知能 第二節 美術館教育的特質與學習特性 一、美術館教育的特質與特性 二、美術館教育相關理論模式探討 三、美術館與學校的合作關係 第三節 美術館教師研習活動的型式 一、美術館教師研習活動的規劃要素 二、國外美術館的教師研習活動與資源 三、國內美術館舉辦教師研習活動的型式 第三章 研究設計與實施 第一節 研究方法與架構 第二節 研究對象 第三節 研究工具 第四節 研究過程 第五節 資料處理 第四章 研究結果與討論 第一節 研究對象基本資料分析 第二節 美術教師教學現況分析 第三節 教師對美術館教育功能認知情形 第四節 美術館教師研習活動的需求分析 第五節 美術館與學校教師互動之意見分析 第六節 綜合討論 第五章 結論與建議 第一節 結論 第二節 建議 第三節 後續研究建議 參考書目 附 錄 附錄一：台北縣市國中美術教師對美術館教師研習活動需求調查問卷（預試） 附錄二：台北縣市國中美術教師對美術館教師研習活動需求調查問卷（正式） 附錄三：台北縣市國民中學名錄

While I have always loved to go to the art museum I have often found it difficult to convince friends and family to go with me. It seems to be a particularly daunting task for visitors with disabilities and specifically those with vision impairments. This study surveys the accessibility of the programming for visitors with visual impairments at 25 art museums in the United States of America and how they communicate that information to potential visitors. It highlights museums that go beyond what is required by the Americans with Disabilities Act and create programming that is enjoyable for all. This study will be a reference to create a more enjoyable experience for all.
