박물관 교육프로그램의 현황 및 개발 과정 연구 -국립국악원 국악박물관 상설 전시해설 프로그램을 중심으로-

Abstract

This research aims to review the current status of educational programs in Korean traditional music museums and discuss the direction of development for education related to Korean traditional music museums, with a focus on the analysis of the development and operation of the family-oriented permanent exhibition interpretation program "Come to the Museum, kungddak (korea beat sounds)!" implemented for the first time in 2022. Korean traditional music museum educational programs were reviewed chronologically to achieve this goal. It was confirmed that the existing educational programs mainly consist of theory-oriented and appreciation-centered programs, with general participation being the majority. Still, they are operated at short intervals and intermittently, indicating the need for improvement. Furthermore, the interactive exhibition interpretation program "Come to the Museum, kungddak!," operated since 2022, was developed as the first permanent educational program planned by a Korean traditional music museum, targeting family members with young children to provide interactive educational activities. The program operation centered around the permanent exhibitions of the Korean Traditional Music Museum, utilizing realistic contents and multimedia, linking with the elementary school curriculum, conducting exhibition interpretation based on story-centric narratives, and operating 1:1 Gayageum playing experiences and museum kit production to enhance interactive elements. Such family-oriented programs are perceived as a new model for museum education and have shown high participant satisfaction. However, despite the expansion of the program's target audience to include family members of various ages, the absence of a systematic curriculum for operating differentiated educational programs and ensuring continuous participation was identified as a limitation. Therefore, the necessity of developing and operating educational programs considering target audience segmentation and continuous participation is raised for the future development of Korean traditional music museum education.
