COVID-19 환경에서 비대면 박물관교육에 대한 고찰

Abstract

COVID-19 has caused the spread of non-face-to-face culture throughout society, and museums are also demanding various non-face-to-face activities online. This study focused on non-face-to-face museum education. Based on Siemens(2005)'s principle of connectivism and Park (2018)'s study on the connected learning process, we tried to examine the meaningful connection between the museum and the learner. As a research method, the status of non-face-to-face education held at the national and public museums in Seoul from April 2020 to June 2021 was reviewed. Changes and characteristics of museum education during this period were analyzed. At this time, 11 education officials (curators, researchers, lecturers) who had experience in implementing museum education programs were selected as research participants, and museum education was discussed in their experiences. As a result of the study, it was possible to examine changes according to the type and period of non-face-to-face education in the museums. Regarding the non-face-to-face education held at the museum, preparation period (from April to August 2020) 'Continuous chaos', transition period (from August to December 2020) 'Expansion of connection', and leapfrogging period (from January to June 2021) could be summarized as 'New Possibilities of Museum Education'. Therefore, non-face-to-face education became a new and expanded route for visitors to access the museum. For smooth communication in this path, above all, the importance of the connection competency of museum education practitioners was pointed out. Based on this study, it is expected that a follow-up study on the connection competency of museum education practitioners will be conducted.
