The Possibility of Education Within Museums

Muzejske ustanove osim svoje kulturne, imaju i obrazovnu funkciju koja se sve više razvija zahvaljujući posebno osnovanim edukacijskim odjelima u muzeju. Unutar tih odjela djeluju muzejski pedagozi zaduženi za provođenje, ali i promicanje obrazovanja u muzeju. Oni u suradnji s drugim stručnjacima razvijaju nove, zanimljive oblike učenja u muzeju koji su privlačni posjetiteljima, ponajviše djeci budući da se razlikuju se od školskih metoda. Unutar ovog rada prikazani su rezultati anketnog upitnika koji su popunjavala djeca osnovnih škola te ona koja su sudjelovala na radionicama u muzeju. Prikupljanje podataka trajalo je tri mjeseca, a ukupan broj ispitanika je 110. Osim anketnog upitnika, u sklopu istraživanja provedena je i edukativno – zabavna radionica u muzeju, čiji je opis dan u radu. Cjelokupnim istraživanjem željelo se doći do saznanja o mogućnosti obrazovanja u muzeju ispitivanjem mišljenja učenika kao i provođenjem radionice kao načina obrazovanja. Rezultati istraživanja osim pozitivnih mišljenja učenja pokazali su i pozitivne rezultate u praksi kroz radionicu.Museum institutions besides their cultural also have the educational function that is increasingly developing thanks to specially established educational sections in the museum. Within those sections act museum educators in charge of conducting, as well as promoting education in musem. In cooperation with other experts they are developing new and interesting ways of learning in the museum that are appealing to the visitors, especially children since they differ from school methods. Within this paper the results of a questionnaire solved by elementary school children as well as those who participated on the workshops in the museum are being shown. Data gathering took for three months, and the total number of respondents is 110. Apart from the questionnaire, within the research an educational and entertaing workshop was held, whose description is given in the paper. The aim of the survey was to examine the possibility of museum education through questioning the pupils opinion and conducting the workshop as a way of education. The results of the survey besides the positive pupils opinion have also shown the positive results in practice throughout the workshop
