History & heritage - much ado about something?
The June MUSEUM EDUCATION MONITOR (MEM) will highlight ongoing work in
museum education research, evaluation and resources related to history and
heritage. Working in this area? I invite you to share your work with
interested others around the world.
Listings by workers at all sites of informal learning (museums, galleries,
historic sites, science centres, parks, etc.), consultants, faculty, and
students at all levels of study are welcomed.
To assist with this, MEM continues to offer a one-year free subscription to
any student in a museum-education related course or program and to any
museum educator who is currently unwaged. See
http://www.mccastle.com/Public/MEM.aspx for details.
To share your ongoing research and evaluation, just send an e-mail to me at
[log in to unmask] that includes:
- name of project
- research or evaluation question(s) [no more than 50 words, please]
- how the data will be presented
- principal researcher(s)/ evaluator(s)
- site(s) where research is being conducted
- time span
- contact information
- key words/labels to describe the project [no more than 4 or 5, please].
To review recent research listings, read the MEM blog, "FORUM: Research and
Resources in Museum Education" at http://forum.mccastle.com/.
All listings are free of charge and displayed in their language of origin.
Deadline for the June MEM is Friday June 18.
FYI, listings in the May MEM 2010 (focus on visual arts & art history)
included:
- The Viewing Project (How to develop presentations/installation designs
that encourage longer looking and looking again at works of art?) USA

Thinking Strategies for Natural Science Teaching in Museums (USA)
A complimentary copy of this May MEM is available upon request.
