Univerzální oděv a jeho využití v muzejní edukaci / Universal clothing and its use in museum education

Švejdová, Kateřina January 2016 (has links)
In my thesis, built on the bachelor's thesis, I focus on the universal form of clothing. In the theoretical part I research the common features of garments in changing cultural and historical contexts. I focus on general aspects of clothing. I search for connections between functions and forms of clothing. I monitor the impact of historical styles on the work of contemporary clothing designers and I seek the universal features of today's fashion apparel. I observe the interest of children, teachers and also of publications in textile creation. In the art section I work on a series of proposals for universal variable apparel. By using patents it is created more models out of just one. I document and crtitically reflex the final results of possible model variations. In didactic part I suggest educational program for selected clothing exposition. The program includes worksheets and the posibility of using a universal garment as teaching tool. The program I verify in practice I also document and evaluate.

Building a Collaborative Smartphone Application for Blind and Low Vision Visitors at the Dallas Museum of Art

Aljuidan, Hanan Abdulaziz M 05 1900 (has links)
The goal of my study is to develop a mobile application to enable all visitors, including blind and low-vision visitors, to autonomously gather and share information about interpretations of art and to have a fully independent museum-going experience. With an application, blind visitors have more access to opportunities and tools in the museum, which empowers their museum experience. My study used a qualitative, mixed-methods approach to research how blind and low vision museum visitors might increase their independence in the museum space and discover ways to equalize their access without relying on museum educators. In carrying out my study, I conducted interviews and collected data based on observations and transcribed and analyzed them using a grounded theory approach. I used Freire's theory of pedagogy of the oppressed and hooks' theory of education as the practice of freedom to frame my study.

Edukace v regionální galerii jako součást vzdělávání žáků na prvním stupni základní školy / Education in a Regional Gallery as a Part of Education in Primary School Pupils

Kotýnková, Martina January 2020 (has links)
The diploma thesis deals with the topic of gallery and museum educating. The work is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical ones. The theoretical part, which is defined on the basis of the processing of professional resources, focuses on the connection of gallery and museum educating with the curricular documents of primary schools. A substantial part is devoted to the benefits of a three-phase educational model. Emphasis is then placed on the constructivist approach in teaching and the discursive field of art and its application in teaching. The practical part focuses on the verification of the three-phase model in practice. The results of the work are proposals and implementations of two educational programs and their interconnection with the expected outcomes according to the Framework Educational Program. The educational programs were realized in the regional gallery and museum with children from the 1st and 3rd year of a primary school.

Powerful eyes, imaginative minds : Experiencing contemporary art and science in a third space

Raaijmakers, Harald January 2022 (has links)
In a third space, the boundaries between educational contexts and school disciplines are blurred to look at content from multiple perspectives. Out-of-school organisations, like museums, can offer educational resources that launch a museum-school partnership into a third space. This thesis describes the conceptualisation and validation of such a third space. An interdisciplinary museum programme that supports the cooperation between museum educators and teachers to encourage students in an art-based exploration of science issues is presented. A systematic comparison of the museum programme with the established Framework for Museum Practice resulted in applicable design recommendations for informal educators and schools that strive for a third space. Within an art-based science teaching strategy, this thesis additionally analysed students’ transformative aesthetic experiences and what role imagination plays in those. A newly developed visual analysis indicates how the museum programme offers students opportunities to look at complex aspects of the world depicted by contemporary art and to discern and value their intricacy. The results show how the interdisciplinary approach to science issues allows links between the conceptual and the emotional. By using their own eyes and each other’s company, students observe and create science-related art, expanding their knowledge, perceptions, values, and feelings. It is the imagination that drives cognitive operations, enabling students to envision other perspectives while at the same time considering their own subjectivity. With the conceptualisation of a third space, this thesis coins a suggestion to put the purpose of ‘subjectification’ into science education practice. In addition, it strengthens the position of Arts (A) in Science Technology Engineering Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) education by indicating the benefits of combining the cognitive with the affective and using the hands in conjunction with the head. / Students can discover the complexities of images, objects, and aspects of the world with their powerful eyes. With their imaginative minds, they can envision diverse perspectives while at the same time considering their own subjectivity. This thesis shows that by using their eyes and imagination in an art-based exploration of science issues, students can expand their knowledge, perceptions, values, and feelings. The presented art-based teaching approach is enveloped by an interdisciplinary museum programme that allows links between the conceptual and the emotional. Its design is conceptualised in this thesis as a third space, crossing boundaries between educational contexts and school disciplines. Guidelines are offered to support museum-school partnerships and an instructional design that builds on the framework of transformative aesthetic experiences. In addition, embodied and intuitive aspects of the imagination in conjunction with rationality about science issues, direct a discussion about the purpose of ‘subjectification’ in science education.

A phenomenon of thought : liminal theory in the museum

DeLosso, Lisa Christine 19 October 2010 (has links)
This thesis was planned as a cross-case study of three docent-led museum tours, examined through the lens of liminality. The liminal, as identified by anthropologist Victor Turner, is an ambiguous and transitional state that is “betwixt and between” normative structures. When applied to the art museum, I argue that the liminal is a zone of negotiation that can assist in transformation and personal meaning making through a phenomenon of thought. This study centers on the following questions: How can liminal theory, as applied to museum education, illuminate the relationships between gallery teachers, visitors, and objects? And, in what ways does liminality allow for visitors’ personal meaning making to occur? These questions were answered through the planned observation of three docent-led museum tours at the Jack S. Blanton Museum of Art at The University of Texas at Austin. Video and audio recordings, as well as observational field notes, occurred in one museum gallery and focused on one artwork, Cildo Meireles’ Missão/Missões (How to Build Cathedrals). Data was collected from narrative transcripts of the aforementioned video and audio recordings, exit interviews with docents, observational field notes taken during each tour, and observations and notes made while analyzing the video and audio footage. Two of these three tours fit within the parameters set by the researcher and, therefore, one tour was eliminated from the research findings. Content analysis is utilized in this study. This type of data analysis placed information into three categories modeled after Arnold van Gennep’s rites de passage: separation, the liminal, and aggregation. Four subcategories were subsequently discovered during this analysis: observation, connection, realization, and transformation. Conclusions determined after the analysis of this data revealed fluidity between these stages. Additionally, liminal theory illuminated the relationships between visitors, objects, and museum educators in a way that stressed that the negotiation of the artwork, meaning making, and the process of transformation are part of a collaborative journey, and that the spaces “betwixt and between” are valuable for the advancement of museum education. / text

Les sources de plaisir issues d’oeuvres d’art contemporain dans un contexte muséal

Eick de Lima, Lisandra 02 1900 (has links)
La mission éducative des musées auprès de la société en générale aujourd’hui est incontestable et les musées d’art contemporain sont des endroits importants de formation et de délectation. Cette recherche de maîtrise qui s’inscrit dans le cadre de la recherche Le grand public et l’art contemporain : du rejet au plaisir menée par A.M. Émond et C. Dufresne-Tassé de 2009 à 2014 identifie les sources de plaisir qui peuvent émerger chez les visiteurs de type grand public lors d’une visite à un musée d’art contemporain. Pour ce faire, nous avons analysé 30 discours de visiteurs de type grand public qui ont visité le Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal dans le cadre de la recherche d’Émond et de Dufresne-Tassé. La présente recherche de maîtrise privilégie l’approche qualitative, étant à la fois exploratoire, empirique et fondamentale. Nos résultats ont démontré l’existence de plaisirs qui émergent en fonction de trois grandes catégories (objet muséal, visiteur lui-même et impression générale) et qui se subdivisent en dix-huit sous-catégories. Nous avons décrit chacune de ces catégories et sous-catégories de plaisir à l’aide d’exemples extraits des discours des visiteurs. Cette recherche contribue à l’avancement des connaissances en fournissant aux musées d’art contemporain des indications sur la présence de diverses sources de plaisir dans l’appréciation des visiteurs lors de leur traitement de l’art contemporain. Ainsi, les secteurs éducatifs des musées pourront réinvestir ces résultats de recherche dans l’élaboration de stratégies éducatives muséales destinées à ce public non spécialiste. / Today, the educational role of museums in society as a whole is indisputable. Museums of contemporary art are important learning environments where a significant proportion of visitors can experience pleasure during their visit. Given the necessity of improving our understanding of this phenomenon, the present Master's level research has allowed us to identify, within the framework of the most recent research by A.M. Émond and C. Dufresne-Tassé entitled Le grand public et l’art contemporain: du rejet au plaisir, sources of pleasure which could emerge amongst visitors from the general public during a visit to the Montreal Museum of Contemporary Art. To do so, we analyzed 30 discourses of visitors from Émond and Dufresne-Tassé’s study. Our research favours the qualitative approach, being simultaneously exploratory, empirical and fundamental. Our results have demonstrated the existence of pleasures which emerge as a function of three broad categories (Museum Object, Visitors Themselves, General Impression) which can be subdivided into eighteen subcategories. We have described each of these categories and subcategories of pleasure with the aid of examples extracted from visitors' discourses. We believe that with our findings on the identification and importance of pleasure, educational sectors of art museums could benefit from our research in the development of educational strategies for a non-specialist public viewing contemporary art.

A relação museu/escola: teoria e prática educacionais nas visitas escolares ao Museu de Zoologia da USP / The museum/school relation: educational practice and theory on school visits to the Museum of Zoology of USP

Martins, Luciana Conrado 23 June 2006 (has links)
Esta pesquisa versa sobre as relações museu/escola. Identifica e confronta os discursos e as práticas educacionais dos profissionais envolvidos. Inserido em uma perspectiva qualitativa de pesquisa em educação, o estudo analisa as práticas presentes na visita de escolas ao Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo. Considera-se que os educadores de museus são portadores de um conhecimento empírico e teórico que é, em grande medida, o responsável pela normatização das atividades educacionais da instituição onde estão inseridos. Outros fatores tais como a história da instituição, sua estrutura administrativa e o contexto social do qual faz parte também são relevantes para o entendimento do campo analisado. São esses aspectos os que vão determinar qual é o discurso dos profissionais de educação responsáveis pela ação educativa de um museu, frente às práticas pedagógicas por eles estabelecidas, passo necessário para compreensão do objeto de estudo. Por outro lado, considera-se também que os professores das escolas são portadores de uma concepção própria a respeito do museu. Qual é essa concepção? Quais são as expectativas destes profissionais que enfrentam inúmeras dificuldades para levarem seus alunos a uma instituição cuja linguagem e conteúdo não lhes são familiares? Suas expectativas são cumpridas durante a visitação? Entender esse universo passa pela observação das práticas desses profissionais quando em contato com a instituição museal. A fim de responder esses questionamentos, optou-se pela confrontação das expectativas desses profissionais (professores e educadores do Museu) com a sua prática em um momento determinado: a visita das escolas ao Museu. Essa escolha baseou-se na verificação de que a visita é o momento onde se efetivam/confrontam as intenções a respeito da prática pedagógica dentro de uma exposição de museu. A escolha do Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo, e posterior pesquisa empírica nas suas dependências, trouxe à tona outros questionamentos, acerca do papel da educação dentro de uma instituição museológica, voltada historicamente a pesquisa em Zoologia. Para fundamentação das análises propostas foi utilizado o referencial oriundo das pesquisas de educação e pesquisas de público, feitas em museus. Em termos gerais, constatou-se que professores e educadores de Museu têm expectativas semelhantes a respeito do potencial pedagógico das exposições museais. Entretanto, as escolas continuam buscando os museus sem atentar para as especificidades educacionais desses espaços, fazendo com que a visita seja um acontecimento isolado na vida escolar dos estudantes. Por outro lado, o Museu de Zoologia, agrega uma série de fatores que contribuem para não otimização de sua relação com as instituições escolares. A constatação desses problemas aponta a necessidade de construção de uma parceria a ser realizada institucionalmente entre museus e escolas, ou seja, apoiada por todas as instâncias que as compõem, e não dependente apenas de alguns poucos profissionais interessados. / This research treats of the museum/school relation. Identifies and confronts the educational discourses and the practices of the involved professionals. Inserted on a qualitative view on education, this study analyses the present practices on school visits to the Museum of Zoology of University of São Paulo. It is considered that the museum\'s educators carry an empirical and theoretical knowledge, which is responsible for the normative conduction of the educational activities on the institution where they are involved. Other factors such as the institution\'s history, the administration\'s structure and the social context are relevant for the comprehension of the analysis field. Those are the aspects that are going to determine what is the discourse of the professionals of education who are responsible for educational actions of the museum, facing their pedagogical practises, necessary step to the comprehension of the object. On the other hand, it\'s as well considered that schools teachers have their own conception regarding the museum. What is this conception? What are the expectancies of those professionals, who confront innumerable difficulties to take their pupils to an institution whose language and contents are not familiar to them? Are their expectancies fulfilled during visitation? To understand the universe means to observe the practices of those professionals in contact with the museum institution. Aiming to answer those questions, the confrontation of the professional\'s expectancies (teachers and museum\'s educators) with their practices in a specific moment: the schools visitations to the Museum. This choice is based on the verification that the visit is the moment when the intentions, regarding to the pedagogical practice, are accomplished/confronted in a museum exposition. The choice for the University of São Paulo\'s Museum of Zoology, and posterior empirical research inside the museum, emerged other questions concerning the educational role inside the museological institution, historically dedicated to zoological researches. A referential originating in education researches and public researches, that took place in museums, was used to ground the proposed analysis. It was verified that teachers and museum\'s educators have similar expectancies regarding to the pedagogical potential of museums expositions. However, the schools still attending to museums without being alert to the educational particularities of these places, converting the visit on a isolated event to the school life of the student. On the other hand, the Museum of Zoology, aggregates factors, which contributes to the non-optimisation of its relation with school institutions. The evidencing of those problems indicates the need to enter an institutional partnership between museums and schools, supported by all the instances involved and not only few interested professionals.

Atividade de aprendizagem em museus de ciências / Learning activity in science museums

Bizerra, Alessandra Fernandes 14 August 2009 (has links)
Os museus, independentemente de sua tipologia e contexto de origem, mantêm em comum seu caráter de conservação e preservação do patrimônio cultural, bem como sua disponibilidade em ressignificá-lo. Embora historicamente o papel social dessas instituições tenha se alternado em força e motivos, uma dimensão torna-se evidente: os museus, nos modelos conhecidos hoje, apresentam-se como espaços educativos, organizados, com conhecimento humano historicamente construído, compartilhado e reproduzido por sujeitos ativos. Mas como os museus conduzem desse processo, considerando seu público como composto por sujeitos que atribuem valores e significados a esse patrimônio? Buscando uma reflexão sobre o entendimento do papel social dos museus no que tange à apropriação e re-produção da cultura, foi utilizado o referencial histórico-cultural, baseado nas ideias de Vigotski, Leontiev e Davidov e focado o processo de aprendizagem de conceitos e práticas. Com essa escolha, procurou-se compreender como está estruturada uma atividade de aprendizagem, de ressignificação do patrimônio, em museus de ciências. Assumiu-se, a priori, que essas instituições são locais em que o processo de aprendizagem está presente, mas não necessariamente a atividade de aprendizagem. Diferenciou-se, portanto, aprendizagem de atividade de aprendizagem, considerando-se que, a última, deveria ser investigada. Foi escolhida uma instituição para análise, o Museu Biológico do Instituto Butantan, e procurou-se compreender o atual uso de sua exposição de longa duração, por meio de uma perspectiva histórica. Para isso, foram analisados documentos oficiais e acervos institucionais e pessoais relacionados às práticas de educação em ciências e divulgação científica realizadas pelo Instituto Butantan desde sua criação, em 1901. Os macrociclos de atividade de aprendizagem expansiva encontrados permitiram compreender a atual exposição não somente como produto dos anseios e pressupostos da equipe de profissionais envolvidos, mas como fruto de atividades desenvolvidas por todo um século, que influenciam atualmente as interações estabelecidas entre público e instituição. Em um nível maior de escala, foi realizada a análise de ciclos e microciclos de aprendizagem por meio do olhar de visitantes e monitores. Para isso, foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas, registradas em áudio e vídeo, com mediadores do museu e famílias de visitantes. Os referenciais utilizados nessa investigação, incluindo o conceito de comunidades de prática, ofereceram dicas importantes de organização da atividade educativa em museus de ciências, especialmente relacionadas ao posicionamento do objeto museal como artefato mediador. Elementos como o uso de modelos germinais e de situações-problema, a seleção de conceitos e práticas nucleares, a promoção da ascensão do abstrato ao concreto, o movimento entre ações e operações, a zona de desenvolvimento imediato como propulsora do desenvolvimento, a mediação semiótica e social apresentaram-se como elementos importantes para a práxis profissional dos educadores de museus. Com as relações estabelecidas entre a Teoria da Atividade e a Aprendizagem em Museus, espera-se que esta investigação tenha contribuído para o entendimento dos museus como estruturas mediadoras, facilitadoras das múltiplas possibilidades de interação entre o sujeito e a cultura. / The museums have in common the character of cultural heritage conservation and extroversion regardless of their kind and origin context. Although historically the social role of these institutions have been changing in power and reasons, a dimension becomes clear: the museums, the model known today, are educational spaces, organized with human knowledge historically constructed, shared and re-produced by active subjects. How do the museums lead this process, considering their audience as composed of individuals that give values and meanings to this heritage? Intending a discussion on understanding the social role of museums in terms of appropriation and re-production of culture, we used the historical-cultural approach, based on the ideas of Vygotsky, Leontiev and Davydov and we focused on the process of learning concepts and practices. With this choice, we aimed to understand how the learning activity is structured in science museums. We have assumed a priori that these institutions are places where the learning process is present but not necessarily the activity of learning. We distinguished, therefore, \"learning\" from \"learning activity\", considering that the latter should be investigated. An institution was chosen for analysis, the Biological Museum of Butantan Institute, and we tried to understand its long-term exhibition through a historical perspective. For this, we analyzed documents and institutional and personal collections related to science education and science communiation practices held by the Butantan Institute since its creation (1901). The macrocycles of expansive learning founded helped us to understand the current exhibition not only as a product of the anxieties and assumptions of the team of professionals involved, but as a result of activities developed in a whole century, which currently affect the interactions between audience and institution. On a higher level of scale, the analysis of cycles and microcycles of learning activity was developed by the point of view of visitors and monitors. For that, semi-structured interviews with museum explainers and visitor families were recorded on audio and video. The theoretical approaches used in this research, including the concept of \"communities of practice\", offered important tips for organizing the educational activities in science museums, especially related to the positioning of the museum object as mediator artifact. Elements such as the use of germ-cell models and inquiry situations, the selection of nuclear concepts and practices, the promoting of the ascending from abstract to concrete, the movement between actions and operations, the use of the proximal development zone, the social and semiotic mediation, were described as important for the professional praxis of museum educators. With the relationship between activity theory and learning in museums, it is expected that this research may contribute to the understanding of museums as \"mediators\" structures which facilitate the many possibilities of interaction between the individuals and culture.
