ACTIVITY
Museums as community centres
What do Nina Simon’s ideas mean for learning in museums? How does the opening up of museums impact what and how our students can learn in a museum? Does the focus on community in museums distract from learning about the topics of a museum’s exhibit? Why, or why not?
My point of view:
Inspiring talk!
- In museums we can actively participate.
- Connect more deeply with each other.
- Do science experiments together.
- Being co-creators (how to improve a museum)
- Given tools are very important on how people interact in a museum.
- Make the museum relevant with ourselves.
- Artifacts as social objects.
- Encourage discussions in the museums.
- Social bridging.
Our students can learn in a museum because they will be active and active learning is a better and deeper learning. They will experiment in the museum. They will use objects. They will open up and discuss. They will be co-creators. The focus on community is crucial. And as Lev Vygotsky has said, learning is an social function.
