A relação museu-escola: Uma investigação das influências exercidas pela escola, sobre as abordagens museais

Abstract

The Science Museums are considered educational spaces and which have particularities that approach their perspectives of public policies for the dissemination and popularization of science. However , Brazil being a country where the culture of visiting museums of sciences (or other types of museums) is not strengthened , it can be seen that the large concentration of visitors is found in the group of teachers and students of basic education, making it difficult and at the same time distancing the approach of museums to the public. This fact has attracted the attention of many researchers, promoting inclusive the consolidation of a new area of study: The Museum - school relationship. Our goal in this study, considering the particular cases of the Science Alive Museum and Campina Grande Energy Space, investigate the museum-school relationship from the perspective of the influence that the “massive” public school can engage on museological activities. What kind of effect the museums education can cause on those educational spaces? Through this inquiry, we will investigate possible changes in the discourse of monitors and even coordinators of these museum spaces, instead of the high rate of school visitations. The numbers will also be important for us to show clearly, what happens today with our museums. Another issue will also be promoted: " Why do people who are not related to education, are not attracted to visitations to science museums? "What can be done to attract this audience? These questions are important to the relevance that the scientific knowledge has to the development of a population, and as a tool of dissemination and popularization of science , museums should be ready to attract the general public , without distinction and not simply adapting his speech to the formal communication systems adopted at schools.
