교육과정과 연계한 박물관 교육프로그램의 개발 연구: 엄마꿈박물관의 꿈의 나라 만들기를 중심으로

Abstract

The national curriculum was revised with the aim of cultivating creative talents and spreading culture. The institutional basis of museum education was set up as an alternative educational method for school education by a creative experience activity in 2009, an exam-free semester in 2016, and an exam-free grade in 2018. In 2013, the government conducted a humanities education on the museum road as the school-related museum education project. Accordingly, the museum has strengthened the function of social education as a place for learning outside the classroom. Also, the demand for curriculum-related museum education program has increased. The purpose of this study is to develop a creative education program for the humanities on the museum road. The survey of satisfaction and interest in the program was conducted to examine its effectiveness after conducting the program trials. To develop the museum experiential education program linked to the curriculum, the exhibition contents and exhibition artefacts were integrated with one theme. The first class is an exhibition-based learning, and the learner explores the basic principles of democracy. The second class was designed as an experiential learning program to encourage the participants to understand what right values are and awareness of social participation. This program surveyed 1,045 elementary and junior high school students through a total of 46 classes. As a result, students showed their interest in museum experience education activities, which were helpful to them in understanding the related subjects. Also, experiential activities were evaluated as a chance for new thinking and high intention to participate. The teachers showed positive satisfaction and interest about the class. In addition, the museum experiential education activities help students to expand their thinking, to enhance their creativity and to cultivate historical consciousness. The students’ perception of the humanities on the museum road was lower than average. This implies that curriculum-based museum education, which is being carried out at the policy level, is currently in its infancy stage. Therefore, to activate museums as a place for outside classroom activities, there is a need to develop an experiential learning program based on school curriculum. Also, there is a need to expand educational space and to simplify administrative procedures for the school-related museum education.
