Museum Studies & Museology
This book analyzes the relationship between museums and families—how they view one another, how museums can facilitate free-choice learning in families, and how both together can serve as powerful allies to enact social and community change. Leading museum researcher Lynn Dierking identifies the family as a learning institution and details the implications for programming and exhibits in history, art, science, children's museums and other cultural institutions. In describing museums with excellent family programs, she provides exemplars for other museums to improve family learning within their institution.

In History and Imagination, elementary school social studies teachers will learn how to help their students break down the walls of their schools, more personally engage with history, and define democratic citizenship. By collaborating together in meaningful investigations into the past and reenacting history, students will become experts who interpret their findings, teach their peers, and relate their experiences to those of older students, neighbors, parents, and grandparents. The byproduct of this collaborative, intergenerational learning is that schools become community learning centers, just like museums and libraries, where families can go together in order to find out more about the topics that interest them. There is an incredible value in the shared and lived experiences of reenacting the past, of meeting people from different places and times: an authority and reality that textbooks cannot rival. By engaging elementary social studies students in living history, whether in the classroom, afterschool, or in partnership with local historical institutions, teachers are guaranteed to impress upon the students a special, desired understanding of place and time -- Provided by publisher. *Author: Morris, Ronald Vaughan *Subtitle: Reenactments for Elementary Social Studies *Publication Date: 2012/03/08 *Number of Pages: 157 *Binding Type: Paperback *Language: English *Depth: 0. 0 *Width: 6. 5 *Height: 9. 5
