The School Teacher and the Art Museum: A Multi- Case Study of Online Canadian Art Museum Teacher Resources
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study seeks to better understand the online resources and lesson contents that Canadian art museums offer secondary school art teachers. The author conducted a content analysis of online teacher resources and lessons developed by four Canadian art museums during 2016. By looking at the various resources through the lens of a high school teacher/researcher, the author highlighted how these resources presented differences in curriculum and fostered self-reflection in students. The relationship between the art museum and the school teacher was examined. To better understand this relationship, further research on online resources developed by museums to increase pedagogical possibilities should be conducted.
