中加场馆开展家庭教育的比较研究——基于场馆教育者的视角

A Comparative Study on Family Education in Museums between China and Canada:From the Perspective of Museum Educators

场馆是家庭开展教育活动的重要场域,而家庭也被列为场馆教育的核心面向。针对场馆究竟如何开展家庭教育的问题,本研究从场馆教育者的专业视角出发,考察中国和加拿大场馆开展家庭教育的情况,寻求跨文化的经验借鉴。通过对场馆的教育理解和期待、家庭与场馆的教育动机以及家庭行为与场馆支持三个方面的深度比较,研究显示中加场馆开展家庭教育的特点各有侧重。无论优势,还是缺陷,都有共识和差异。在取长补短的意义上,我国场馆和家庭分别获得三点启示。

Museum is the significant field for families to carry out educational activities,while families are listed as the core groups of museum education.To address the question of how musuems actually implement family education,this research examines the implementation of family education in Chinese and Canadian museums from the professional perspective of museum educators,seeking cross-cultural experiences and suggestions.Through an in-depth comparison of three aspects,educational understandings and expectations of museum,family and museum motivations for education,and family behaviors and museum supports,the research revealed that Chinese and Canadian museums have distinctive characteristics for conducting family education.There are similarities and differences between two countries,as well as some respective pros and cons,on the basis of which three suggestions are proposed separately from perspectives of museums and families in China.
