Learning inside the museum
Museums have an important role in providing learning services to users,especially school children.Some learning services will provide a range of formal teaching opportunities in the museum;others will work closely with school teachers so that these teachers can make better use of the learning resources available through displays and exhibitions,databases,handling collections and museum staff.
In an ideal world,every museum would have at least one learning or education specialist.He or she would be a trained teacher who also had a good understanding of museums and museum collections,and a strong feeling to help people especially children use and learn from them.
A museum education specialist is of great value. For most museums the establishment of such a post should be high priority. He or she is the only member of staff with training in the psychology of learning,and has considerable experience of analyzing complex concepts and-presenting them in a simple way to a non-specialist audience. The education specialist is,indeed,the only professional interpreter in the museum.
It is clearly reasonable,therefore,for the museum to make full use of the education specialist's skills,and to involve him or her in all aspects of interpretation and the planning of new displays and exhibitions.Museum learning is not just about teaching children,though children may be its principal audience.
Many small museums may not be able to employ an education specialist of their own.For them,there are other possibilities. One is that the local Schools Service may be able to lend a teacher to the museum,perhaps for two or three years,who could be trained to apply teaching skills to the museum context: another is that suitable volunteers may be available in the community-perhaps retired teacher,or teachers not presently working who may be willing to give some of their time to the museum. Another possibility is sponsorship:a large company might be willing to finance the appointment an education specialist for a few years.
An important part of the work for the education specialist in a museum is to establish strong links with its local schools.He or she is a communicator who has responsibility for keeping contact with the teachers at local schools. He or she should make sure that the schools know what is going on at the museum and how they can make use of it,and that the museum staff know about development in the school.Above all,it is their responsibility to find out what schools want and to ensure that the museum does its best to meet those requirements.There needs to be a continuing dialogue between teachers and museum:the museum needs to know what the teachers are teaching;teachers need to learn how the museum could help,and what resources they could use.
The look of wonder on a child's face can be the reward for a lifetime's work in museums.The aims of museum learning are to establish contact between people ----whether children or adults---and objects;and not to teach facts,but to sow(播)a seed of interest,a spark(火花)of inspiration.
