Reflection & Technology In Theory & Practice: Teen Engagement In Art Museums, Chelsea E. Kelly
Occasional Paper Series
This case study shows how the Milwaukee Art Museum’s after-school teen program fosters student engagement through a hybrid practice grounded in constructivist pedagogy. This article presents the museum’s Satellite High School Program in theory and in practice, including its evaluation methods and its impact on students and the museum. In the spirit of the program itself, which celebrates student voices, participants’ own videos, quotes, and experiences will frame my reflections from an educator’s point of view.

Reconstructing Meucci’S Legacy: A Museum-School Internship Collaboration, Nicholas Macula
Reconstructing Meucci’S Legacy: A Museum-School Internship Collaboration, Nicholas Macula
Graduate Student Independent Studies
Excellence & Equity calls for partnerships between museums and schools that will better utilize the strengths of both institutions to encourage learning and fulfill the social calling of museums (American Association of Museums [AAM], 1992). Meanwhile educators are called to meet 21st century learners head-on using “constructivist, project enhanced, collaborative, and authentic curricula” (King, 1998, p.1). With these principles in mind, the museum-school partnership becomes a viable remedy to meeting this social obligation of museums while affording schools opportunities to better engage new learners. Through the lens of a particular growing museum-school partnership between the Garibaldi-Meucci Museum and Staten Island …

The guide incorporates several museum visits with NY State Social Studies Scope and Sequence criteria and is based on personal teaching experience, age-relevant developmental guidelines, theoretical influences, a literature review of family learning and current family guides, as well as the results of the evaluative study.

This study starts by sharing the results of my undergraduate work. After, I describe the preliminary process of contributing to a family guide at American Folk Art Museum. Lastly, I share my current research, in which I interviewed twelve families, asking them to speak to their museum experiences and compare and contrast four family guides. From these interviews, I am able to evaluate the family guide …

The Museum Paradox : The Co-Existence Of Narrative Structure And Audience Advocacy, Barbara Cohen-Stratyner
The Museum Paradox : The Co-Existence Of Narrative Structure And Audience Advocacy, Barbara Cohen-Stratyner
Graduate Student Independent Studies
This paper is concerned with narrative structures and adult learning in history and art museums that were established between 1870 and 1930, although the discussions of structure and exhibition development can be useful for any cultural institution that displays artifacts. Within the large field of study on cultural institutions and their role in adult cognitive change, the focus is placed on narrative exhibition structures that allow the museums to present information and artifacts to an adult audience without the intervention of live staff members or docents.
