The aim of this thesis is to map the role of a regional museum in art education. Based on my own experience as a museum education officer I have tried to describe the context of the development of an educational policy of a small museum. By comparing three examples of different educational programmes with clearly stated goals I arranged some participatory active research in which I took part and which I observed. Through analyzing these individual cases and comparing their partial aspects it came to light how beneficial it is for the museum's education officer to participate in developing and arranging the exhibition. Furthermore, these cases prove the point that museum-school communication is of vital importance and the programmes that had been discussed with teachers beforehand reach further and are more meaningful than programmes without consultation. Art education in a regional museum is irreplacable. Not only does it allow contact with the artefacts peculiar to the place where the student/client of the museum lives, but it also brings the possibility to practice other than just rational ways of thinking and perception. It has the capacity to reach out of its own bracket and become an interdisciplinary subject.

This master thesis deals with the subject of the first-grade primary school teaching assistants. It seeks the answers on following questions: what the social and cultural background of teaching assistants is; what their key motivation for is applying for this role; what their expectations before were entering the profession; what their motivation for continuing the profession is.
