Art museums have become proactive educational institutions and have made efforts to expand their educational services and their audience. As the educational function of the art museum has become more salient, relationships between museums and schools developed and cooperative efforts have often been part of these relationships. However, art museum-school ties appear to be tenuous, are not based upon a conceptual framework that addresses their purpose or continuity, and are often not the result of mutual efforts. Closer and purposeful relationships between these institutions are needed. Stronger ties could improve museum-school programs to better facilitate the museum experiences of students and furnish art education instruction not available in the schools. / In light of this problem, a model was developed to guide art museum-school school cooperative relationships for the provision of programs relevant to students in the schools. This model was designed to encourage cooperative efforts between art museum educators and classroom teachers including art teachers. Not only was it designed to promote mutual cooperative efforts, it was also created to generate programs that would emphasize the strengths of the art museum, and at the same time, complement art education instruction in the schools. / The model's components were selected through an examination and analysis of an extensive review of the literature from the areas of museum education, art education, and sociology. The components include: (1) Prelude to Cooperative Relationships, (2) Building Cooperative Relationships, (3) Preplanning Art Museum/School Programs, (4) Planning Art Museum/School Programs, (5) Implementing Art Museum/School Programs, (6) Teacher Support, (7) Evaluating Art Museum/School Programs, and (8) Maintaining Cooperative Relationships. Embedded within the model's components are specified tasks to be undertaken by participating institutions. The model's components and attendant tasks were organized into an integrated unit through a systems approach. As an integrated entity it provides for the establishment, development, and maintenance of cooperative liaisons while contributing toward the provision of programs pertinent to students. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 47-12, Section: A, page: 4271. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1986.
