Subject outline

Museums and galleries are cultural organisations which have ongoing and deep relationships with education. They provide rich learning experiences to extend classroom learning as well as outside the classroom. At these sites we are invited to connect to history and ideas that stimulate curiosity through objects, collections and exhibitions. This subject focuses on understanding how museums and galleries and their education programs stimulate learning opportunities for primary students and support ongoing professional development for teachers. Exploration is made into the reasons for engaging with galleries and museums and how they can influence learning while investigating the complexities of access to resources that support discipline areas and integrated curriculum practices. By looking at object based pedagogy to support arts this subject focuses on broadening how learning can be stimulated and how it can be taken back to the classroom while increasing familiarity with National Gallery of Victoria, the Melbourne and Immigration Museums as well as other national cultural organisations.
