2 QUESTIONS

What constitutes good museum practice?

BEAR THIS ONE IN MIND

How do we make meaning?

Through language and symbols (semiotics)

Disembodied, visual and intellectual

Through action and partcipation (phenomenologically)

Embodied, tactile, kinesthetic, emotional

- Perception is related to actions

- Room is experienced through movement

- Objects are experienced by touch

WE LEARN BY USING OUR WHOLE BODY

2 PERSPECTIVES

THE NARRATIVE

Narrative constitutes

reality

Jerome Bruner

Daniel Stern

DANIEL STERN(1985 – The interpersonal world of the infant) • The child constructs its self –

the identity

• This is done by conquering domains

• This is done through social interaction

The Verbal Self

The Narrative Self

Stern talks about 5 domains

The 2 final being

A PEDAGOGICAL PERSPECTIVE

Socio-cultural perspective

Every function in the child´s cultural development appears twice:

first on the social level and later on the individual level:

first between people (interpsychological)

then inside the child (intrapsychological).

Vygotskij

The exhibitionis a situated

practice.

Zone of proximal

development

The situated practice is by nature social

Languages as

mediating resources

Shift from teaching to

learning

from a teacher-centered to a

student centered!process

Learning – Instruction

paradox

This means weneed to focus on the visitor!

And the visitor as a

participator!!

The visitor as a consumer and as a producer
