Investigating The Current Status Of Museum Curriculum Co-developed By Museums And Schools In Shanghai

The museum is an indispensable social education platform for the growth of young people.Organizing students to visit the museum is also a long-established traditional elementary and secondary education activity.However,with the deepening of education reform,traditional museum visiting activities have been difficult to meet the needs of contemporary students' growth,and the curriculum of museum education has become a requirement of the times.Compared with the school's general curriculum,the museum curriculum not only crosses the school's walls,but differs in curriculum goals,content,form,evaluation methods,etc.,and must be jointly formed by both the museums and schools for successful implementation.Therefore,the cooperation between museums and schools should be the basic path of museum curriculum construction.Since the museum education in China has changed from "visiting" to "curriculum",which is a reform trend that has only appeared in recent years,there is insufficient practice accumulation and weak research results.However,museum education curricula and museum-school co-construction curricula are new topics that cannot be avoided in school administration,and studying them has strong practical significance.This article takes "museum-school cooperative curriculum construction" as research theme,selects Shanghai's primary and secondary schools with relatively rich museum resources and museum-school cooperative curriculum construction practice exploration,and takes the curriculum design and curriculum implementation as the key points in curriculum construction clicking to conduct research.Based on literature research,a questionnaire survey was conducted among school teachers and museum educators,an individual interview was conducted with school teachers and leaders,and typical case of museum-school cooperative curriculum construction was selected and analyzed,starting from government policy implementation and museum resources supply,school curriculum and teacher administration,teacher professional development,etc.,the current situation of museum-school cooperative curriculum construction is combed,and problems are found out,and the reasons behind the problems are revealed.Then it puts forward the suggestions that the local educationadministrative department to coordinate resources to build a museum-school cooperation platform,the museum sorts out its collection resources and provides professional suggestions,schools eliminate obstacles to promote museum-school cooperative curriculum construction,and the government,museums,and schools work together to build a professional learning platform for teachers.It is intended to provide reference data and materials for researchers in museum education and museum-school cooperation curriculum construction,and also provides a useful reference for local education administrations,museum managers and school administrators who intend to promote or improve the museum-school cooperation curriculum.This article consists of seven chapters.The first chapter is the introduction.The reason for choosing the topic is demonstrated through the elaboration of the research background,the significance of the research,the research questions,and the main concepts involved in this research are defined.The second chapter is divided into two parts,the literature review and the theoretical basis of the research.The intention is to find the research basis and starting point of this research.The third chapter is the design of the research plan of the thesis,which determines the goals,scope,methods and overall research path of the thesis.Chapters 4 and 5are surveys on the status of museum-school cooperative curriculum construction,including questionnaire surveys,individual interviews,and case analysis.The sixth chapter is to sort out the existing problems and the reasons behind the construction of museum-school cooperative curriculum obtained by combing the results of empirical research and case analysis.The seventh chapter draws conclusions on the overall research and proposes countermeasures to further improve the status of museum-school cooperative curriculum construction.It takes a long process from determining the topic of the paper,combing the literature,conducting empirical research,to writing the paper.During the period,although the author made every effort to obtain in-depth first-hand information,went to Shanghai Science and Technology Museum for internship and went to school to investigate.But limited to my lack of academic accumulation and insufficient research experience,there are still too many shortcomings in the thesis.I will focus on improving it in subsequent research.Because for me,the research of "museum-school cooperative curriculum construction" is not just tocomplete a dissertation,it will be my long-term interest in the future.
