디지털 박물관 활용을 통한 학교 학습공간의 변혁적 확장

Abstract

Museum is a good place to practice inquiry-based learning using exhibits, contextual learning related with real life, self-directed learning, and collaborative learning. Beyond that, early adaption and implementation of IT use in museum education seems to be far ahead of schools. As a result, an new version of ‘museum and school partnership’ which has been practiced previously, seems proper as a model fit for the fourth industrial revolution. In this context, this study intended to explore, first, how museums are using a variety of innovative digital technologies in educational situations and then, suggest a model for museum and school partnership by linking museum’s technologies with school environment. This, ultimately, might lead to a transformative learning environment which expands learning space in both real and digital spaces and pedagogical practices as well. In conclusion, this study presented that collaboration with digital museums and school becomes a new approach in converging formal education with informal educational institutions in terms of physical and pedagogical expansion, which is followed by transformative learning environments suitable for the current society.
