Abstract:

19th century dime museums were a North American phenomenon that flourished in urban centres from the mid- to late-1800s. Named thusly due to their low admission cost, dime museums provided democratic entertainment that was promoted to all classes as affordable and respectable. The resulting facilities were crammed with art, artifacts, rarities, living human curiosities, theatre performances, menageries, and technological marvels. The exhibition Dr. Soanes’ Odditorium of Wonders strives to recapture the spirit and aesthetic of the dime museum to invoke wonder in the viewer and to combine art, a

Abstract:

This doctoral investigation examines educational relationships between museums and schools, and more specifically between art museums and secondary art education. The author's analysis of literature pertaining to museum/school relationships and previous research conducted within Honours research establishes systematic contradictions as permeating the public role of museums and educational engagements with museums. In seeking explanation, a theoretical framework, derived from the social theories of Pierre Bourdieu is developed. The framework is used to interrogate the practices of school-based

Abstract:

One of the characteristics of adult education is the degree to which it is dispersed throughout society. Much adult education is practiced in organizations and institutions that have purposes other than adult education. Schroeder (1970, p. 37) has suggested a category of adult education agencies (Type III agencies) established to serve both the educational and non-educational needs of the community, agencies in which "adult education is an allied function employed to fill only some of the needs which agencies recognize as their responsibility."

This thesis discusses the relatively new approach of art education, by paralleling it to Marxist ideology on art. The Dallas Arts District is one example of a city where museum art education is in conflict: being adopted more vigorously by some and with less acceptance by others. In order to provide a glimpse into the museum ideology of downtown Dallas, previous schools of thought regarding the role of curators and the introduction of educators into museums will be detailed, as well as conflicts between these two factions.

These conceptions, or categories of description, were collected before and after a visit to an interactive science centre.

I also interviewed 15 museum educators who employ experiential learning, one master interpreter of the National Park Service, and an independent museum exhibit developer.

The history of museums in South Africa dates back to 1825 when the South African Museum (SAM) was established in Cape Town. Initially museums in South Africa were established for science and local history was seen as peripheral. Nevertheless, this began to change during the early 1920s as artifacts of historical nature gained popularity, saving them from historical oblivion in museums. Museums themselves broadened their role to become major centres of both scientific and historical knowledge. When museums started to include historical artifacts, they entered a terrain which was influenced by a

Since the 1970s, museums have come to re-envision their social purpose, and the ways in which they can and should serve their various stakeholders. Following this, museums have come to associate themselves with the realization of minority rights, articulated in the principles of the new museology and developed alongside civil rights movements drawing attention to the historic violations of Indigenous rights within these institutions. As a result, "self-determination" has entered discourses of museum practice, changing the ways in which museums perceive their responsibilities toward Indigenous

Learning in museums is difficult to quantify, but it has been suggested that “something generally [does] happen” during visits to cultural sites (Hooper-Greenhill 2007:47).

Abstract:

Museums and schools evolved as the definition of the concept of education to describe a lifelong process of developing knowledge, skills, values and attitudes that take place not only in the classroom, but also in a variety of formal and informal contexts and settings. In order to fulfil and extend the potential of the partnership, museum educators and school teachers should be assisted to develop a comprehensive understanding of the nature of the museum-school collaboration. They should learn the difference between museums and classrooms. When the Botswana National Museum was established in

Abstract:

Science education has maintained a longstanding goal of enhancing societal interest, values, and understandings of science. Despite a series of public education reforms and efforts by scientific researchers, scientific literacy and passion remain sparse across the American public. In fact, many students demonstrate a lack of interest in the sciences as early as first grade, with major drop-offs occurring by the age of 14. This is further exacerbated for youth of color, as science is deeply rooted in pervasive and institutionalized racism. When accessible, out-of-school science experiences are

Abstract:

The main part of this study was written just as the Australian Government announced its new Participation and Equity Programme (P.E.P.) aimed at increasing the number of students staying on at school as post-compulsory students to Year 12. Under the programme schools were to be funded to develop programmes aimed at providing students, who would normally have left school at age 15 or 16 relatively unqualified and unskilled, with qualifications and skills that would give them entry to employment. The objectives, as stated, were to encourage · all students to stay on at school until they

Abstract:

Interpretation is commonly associated with communicating and revealing to visitors the natural, cultural and heritage significance of a landscape. Many definitions of interpretation imply that visitors will learn something as a result of the site's interpretation. This thesis challenges this assumption and argues that visitors' learning at sites is far more complex and unpredictable than indicated by the interpretation definitions. Although this thesis is concerned with the role of interpretation and visitor research at a variety of heritage, natural and cultural sites, museums have been at th

Abstract:

The phenomenon of migration has given rise to prolific research emphasising the psychological adaptation of persons post-immigration. This study focuses on psychological preparation pre-immigration. Literature study and empirical research establish that an immigrant's adaptation is influenced by migration motivation and expectations. Several phases of adaptation occur, during which time individual stress is influenced by one's perception of the balance between the stresses of the new environment and one's personal and external resources. Various migration stressors could be identified in th

Abstract:

Early childhood curriculum is limited when early multiliteracies are insufficiently understood. The purpose of this doctorate is to investigate and document children’s early multiliteracies. Children actively learn multiliteracies, including critical dialogue, through their relationships and interactions within family and community. My goal is to influence early childhood policy-makers and educators to reconceptualise early multiliteracies through examining family practices, children’s agency and critical dialogue, subsequently strengthening pedagogical practice. This reconceptualisation is cr

Abstract:

It is a basic human right for persons with disability to participate in education at the same level as a student without disability. This human right is underpinned by global conventions and national legislation (Brett et al. 2016). The number of students with disability in Australian higher education has been influenced by the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA) (Commonwealth of Australia) and the Disability Standards for Education 2005 (Education Standards) (Commonwealth of Australia) which support this human right. Despite a robust policy and legislative context, Australian students wi
