Abstract: |
The chapter offers an introduction to the main educational theories applied in the field of Museum Pedagogy and highlights the main characteristics of learning in museums. It aims to highlight the importance of theory supporting design of museum learning. The educational theories are discussed and compared to each other as well as in relation to theories of knowledge. Progressively, the discussion unravels the qualities of the active learner and how meaning making takes into consideration constructivist perspectives, the interactive museum experience model and the cultural communication model. Active participation and a positive museum experience are considered principal parameters for learning in the museum. Furthermore, museums as participatory spaces are discussed: they create opportunities for meaning making and, therefore, are significant for better understanding the learning processes in non-formal educational environments.
