| Description | In the museum education just as in many other museum activities, the feedback is necessary. It should help eliminate mistakes and enable gradual quality improvement and increasing effectiveness in the museum presentation. The evaluation in the museum pedagogy takes from key principles of much more elaborated pedagogic evaluation. It represents both, the theoretical approach as well as methodology and the process of phenomena monitoring and measuring. The result of non-professional and intuitive approach to the assessment by the system of attempt-error, which significantly increases the subjectivity of the whole process and results, can be called the reflection. On the other hand the evaluation in the right sense of the word is systematically prepared, planned, relatively objective assessment with goals and criteria set in advance. The examples of specific types of evaluation studies from museum education can be detailed analyses of visitors conversations, detailed ethnographic studies carried out in museums, retrospective interviews about museum memories, vocal commentary of visitors on their perception of the exhibition, testing sensory perception of the museum presentation, profound interviews or group interviews about museum experiences of the visitors. |
