Summary

Introduction

Learning happens in the school, and in various types of social organizations such as families or communities. From the standpoint of the time and amount of education, the learning happens off-campus is longer and much more than those happened during classes (Bao et al, 2011). Off-campus studies often occur at venues such as technology museums or typical museums. Venue learning has become an important content for informal learning at the moment. Earlier studies had carried out systematic research and summaries on various aspects of venue learning. There are few studies which pay attention to venue workers. As a matter of fact, the critical factor for the venue learning to bring its effect to the maximum degree lies in the degree of job involvement for venue workers.
