Perhaps I'll start with something less political, more environmental and see how it goes.

I'm in the middle of training a class right now, and have added this piece to tomorrow's agenda! <br />Rachellerachelle | tinkerlabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13253802741152523654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37032121.post-20110617894840702142010-02-02T12:50:19.192-08:002010-02-02T12:50:19.192-08:00I've also been thinking a lot about questions ...I've also been thinking a lot about questions lately, but in the context of classroom discussion. It strikes me that the best visitor questions might have a lot in common with the best classroom discussion questions...a question with a single correct (or perceived-to-be-correct) answer doesn't generate much interest. A question that requires careful thinking about and reflection on background knowledge/reading/material in the exhibits may get a few really stellar responses from a few exceptionally interested or engaged people, but still isn't a wide open invitation to all. <br /><br />So, as someone who is often in both museum/informal learning spaces and in formal classrooms, I'm wondering what results I might get if I asked students to generate their own discussion questions, using this same technique?<br /><br />Thanks for the ideas!<br />Elia Nelsoneliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11989641609668705118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37032121.post-91807807723968480352010-02-02T11:30:26.485-08:002010-02-02T11:30:26.485-08:00Marianna,

Would you and your former student be willing to share your research with the wider Museum 2.0 audience? I'd love to share more information about this with readers here.Nina Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11723930679606298550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37032121.post-28887628817988872292010-02-02T11:15:40.070-08:002010-02-02T11:15:40.070-08:00Nina,

A few years ago I had the pleasure to advise a graduate student on her thesis about visitor response areas in art museums. Then she and I worked with LACMA as they assessed a visitor response area in their LACMA Lab interactive space. Essentially we found that the type of question or prompt AND the visual design or look of the area has an effect on the quality of the visitor response.<br />Marianna AdamsMarianna Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15856541902490218145noreply@blogger.com
