Abstract

This study has started from two interests: an interest in museums where educate public history, and an interest in whether educational programs by public institutions with a big budget are operated appropriately for the educational purpose. One-day field study of the Daegu Museum of Education (hereinafter referred to as “field study”) targets elementary and middle school students. The field study is required to ensure high quality of education and publicness. It is because the field study is linked to extracurricular activities at schools with annually about 10,000 student participants and a large scale of investment in budget and manpower. In order to confirm the educational effectiveness of the field trip, this study has researched the actual operation and analyzed problems of the filed study from 2018 to 2019 by focusing on the operation plan review and satisfaction survey result. As a result, the following problems have been confirmed. First, the field trip seems to be lack of sufficient consideration in the process of targeting participants and designing the program. Second, the program content may be inadequate to meet the education goals and themes. The program composition can be insufficient for the intended subject. Third, the linkage with school education seems not to be properly maintained. In order to improve these aspects, the followings are proposed: First, it is suggested to readjust the education target of the field trip. Considering the exhibition contents and curriculum in the museum, it would be more appropriate to range in the participant between the sixth grade of elementary school and the third grade of middle school. Second, the contents and composition of the museum program should be reorganized to fully utilize the exhibition materials and to strengthen hands-on experience. In other words, students should be given more chances to involve themselves in research activities of the museum exhibition and to learn from the direct engagement. Third, it is also required to strengthen the linkage with extracurricular activities at schools. There should be proper interaction between the museum and schools so as to develop both pre-activities and review session at school. Based on the above, this study would propose a new alternative program in order for the Daegu Museum of Education to secure its identity as a public museum and to attain the purpose of student education.
