MSM 7083 Museum Education I

(3 hours)
Informal education is a key component of contemporary American life. Education pervades the museum experience for all ages and types of visitor. Informal education plays a role in public awareness and subject matter literacy, in providing context, content, and motivation to support formal education. The museum educator is a program manager, a learning theorist, an interpreter, a teacher, a learning manager, and a program designer. This course will expand the museum professional’s understanding of the philosophical underpinnings of informal education, awareness of the nature and variety of museum education.
