SUPPLEMENT TO THE REPORT ON THE STATE OF MUSEUM EDUCATION
Journal Title: Muzealnictwo - Year 2015, Vol 56, Issue
Abstract
The Report on the State of Museum Education. Supplement part 1 (edited by Marcin Szeląg) and part 2 (written by Marcin Szeląg) published at the beginning of 2015 refers to the problems of museum education, its current situation and its state in the country. The analyses are based on qualitative and quantitative research on the situation of education in museums. The research was carried out in 2010 and published for the first time in 2012 under the editorship of this author. In the 2015 supplements, the author analyses the discussion about the place of museum education and its quality in Poland. This discussion takes place among museum educators and was initiated by the Forum of Museum Educators citizens’ initiative. Subsequent chapters deal with the results of the research and the effects of conference meetings and debates on museum education held by the author in various Polish museums in 2013. Selected theories of museum education by English-speaking authors, as well as interviews with directors of major Warsaw museums and galleries, form the backdrop to these considerations. The marketing point of view at the museum institution is also presented in this context. The conclusion of Szeląg’s analyses is that it is necessary to introduce training courses and studies which would prepare museum educators for their work. Referring to models of museum education in Western countries, the author suggested an example programme of such studies in Poland. The publications presented in this article illustrate and report on the heated debate on museum education which has been taking place in Polish museums over the last decade.
