博物館教育理念的轉變

本文從變動性、整體性及多元性的觀點，檢視並辯駁博物館教育潛存不合時宜的迷思，進而指出博物館需要傾聽公眾心聲，擴大公眾服務的對象及管道勢在必行，並從四個面向重新詮釋博物館教育作為公眾服務的核心價值及特點：（一）博物館不只是教育理論的直接應用，而是涉及跨學科理論的轉化運用；（二）博物館教育不只是學校教學活動的延伸，而是向所有人發出的邀請；（三）博物館不是傳遞意義的單向過程，而是詮釋意義的對話過程；（四）博物館教育必須與展覽共同發展，並將整個博物館視為教育的體現。

 

This article examines and refutes the outdated myths of museum education from the perspectives of variability, integrity and diversity, and then points out that museums need to listen to the voice of the public, and reinterprets the core value and characteristics of museum education as a public service from four aspects : (1) It involves the transformation and application of interdisciplinary theories rather than the direct application of educational theories; (2) It is not just an extension of school teaching activities, but an invitation to the public; (3) It is not a one-way process of transmitting knowledge, but a dialogue process of interpreting meanings; (4) It should take the entire museum itself as the embodiment of education.
