Want to share your museum education-related research, evaluation and
resources with interested others around the world?
List your ongoing research and evaluation in MUSEUM EDUCATION MONITOR (MEM),
my monthly e-newsletter. I welcome 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. To
assist these research efforts, I continue to offer a free introductory
one-year subscription to any student in a museum education-related course or
program. Visit http://www.mccastle.com/Public/MEM.aspx for details.
(I've also instituted a complimentary one-year subscription for any museum
educator who is currently unwaged. Contact me at [log in to unmask] for
details.)
To share your ongoing research and evaluation, just send an e-mail to
[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 April MEM is Friday April 16.
