대학박물관 교육프로그램의 지역사회 역할과 발전방향 -충북대학교 교육프로그램 활동을 중심으로-

Abstract

University museums were operated focusing on academic area in the 1970s and 1980s, but beginning in the 1990s, as some limitations have been placed on the excavation of buried cultural assets, they have been operated focusing on education area. Chungbuk National University Museum operates cultural study class, special class, museum college general course, museum college advance course, middle school free semester program, and other programs. Especially, ‘museum college,’ an educational program set up for ordinary people in 1995 and has marked the 20th anniversary this year. ‘Museum college’ is a high-class cultural study class recognized by the community. As Korea has turned into an aging society, the number of students enrolling in the class has increased and the age of the students are going up. Museum college is inducing the active participation of the students through the operation of ‘museum college alumni association’ and ‘museum college council.’ In order to mark its 20th anniversary in 2014, it held a special exhibition along with ceremony with its students. University museums need to overcome the difficulty of existence crisis and make them recognized at home and abroad through educational programs in the future.
