Before,after, in and beyond teacher education

The author uses a trip to a Holocaust museum to explain and illustrate psychoanalytic concepts from Freud to Lacan in order to re-imagine persistent dilemmas in teacher education. The author suggests that psychoanalytic vocabularies provide an additional and productive lens to conceptualize productive possibilities in teacher education.     

多元智能视域下的博物馆教育项目设计与思考——以上海自然博物馆“一平米博物馆”教育项目为例

博物馆作为实施校外科普教育的重要场所,一直在努力探索提升科普服务能力的手段和路径。多元智能理论为博物馆提升科普服务能力提供了不同的思路。上海自然博物馆以其独特的资源优势,打造了“一平米博物馆”科普教育项目,构建了“情境-任务-创造-反馈-持续”的教育模式。本文详细阐述了在多元智能视域下“一平米博物馆”教育项目的设计思路和实施路径,探讨博物馆科普教育实践的创新经验和对策。     

"The Council," Artist Adelita Husni-Bey and Young Adults Envision the Future Museum

Artmaking, when used as a form of pedagogy and approached in a socially-conscious manner, has the potential to promote agency and create a democratic learning environment for students. This study examines one such project, "The Council," created by artist Adelita Husni-Bey in collaboration with former Teen Program attendees of the Museum of Modern Art. The Council is a collection of large-scale photographs created from a series of workshops in which 13 young adults imagined themselves reshaping the museum's societal role after a major global crisis. The final photographs were exhibited in the museum's main galleries, representing a participatory, socially-engaged artwork produced from a pedagogical process. While there is a prevalence of these types of pedagogy-based artworks, contemporary art literature tends to focus mainly on the artist, disregarding the participants. Therefore, from the stance of an art educator, I examined the learning experiences of the participants as well as the pedagogical framework of the artist. The reviews from the participants were overwhelmingly positive, with many noting a significant increase in their confidence and a greater sense of agency. A liberating experience of collaboration was also stated as a common experience. These outcomes were attributed to the artist's innovative use of multimodal learning and effective facilitation grounded in Francesc Ferrer's philosophy of anarcho-collectivism and integral education, as well as critical pedagogy. This study suggests that creative methodologies can significantly enhance intrinsically motivated learning and emphasises the importance of nurturing the next generation as they envision a more equitable and just society.     

科技馆展品研发创新机制研究——以美国探索馆为例

作为世界科技馆的先行者之一,美国探索馆自主研发了大量广受欢迎的展品。探索馆拥有一群多元、自由、爱玩的设计研发人员,通过项目制组建团队,并充分发挥科学家和艺术家的作用;活跃的头脑风暴工作法、开放的展品研发车间、全链条的运行管理模式则为展品创新提供了有力保障;展品研发由前期研究、原型设计、工程设计、加工制作、安装调试与完善五个阶段构成,但主要精力和经费投入在前两个阶段。以上研究发现为我国科技馆展品研发的团队建设、工作流程、评估反馈等方面提供借鉴与启示。
