This work aims to explore whether students' learning outcomes in the virtual museum (VM) 's "Life and Science course" are influenced by the type of knowledge and the different levels of interaction within the museum. The study was conducted using an eye-movement experimental method, based on cognitive load theory, knowledge visualisation…

The need for well-designed learning experiences about modern, anthropogenic climate change is great. In light of this need, many scholars have looked towards museums, arguing that as trusted institutions of informal learning, museums are uniquely positioned to support public engagement with contentious, impactful issues like climate change.…

The O?THO exhibit, situated within the LivingLab at Copernicus Science Centre (CSC) in Warsaw, Poland, introduces visitors to the Cartesian principles of representing numerical data as points in a two-dimensional space--the coordinate system. This interactive tabletop digital exhibit takes the form of a collaborative two-player game where…

For Manitos, or Hispanic New Mexicans, sheep symbolized a way of life. Working with sheep not only provided a way to earn a living, but it also contributed to a fiber arts tradition that has been cultivated and sustained over many generations. Sheep became a symbol of Nuevomexicano culture and an example of affirmation and resistance in the face…

Image processing-based augmented reality (AR) is widely used in several fields. However, audio content is also crucial in certain cases, for example, focusing on appreciating artwork in a museum, rather than a virtually synthesized image. In this study, an attempt was made to provide ubiquitous learning (u-learning) services by using audio AR for…

The human capacity for technological innovation and creative problem-solving far surpasses that of any species but develops quite late. Prior work has typically presented children with problems requiring a single solution, a limited number of resources, and a limited amount of time. Such tasks do not allow children to utilize one of their…

The decomposition of the overall effect of a treatment into direct and indirect effects is here investigated with reference to a recursive system of binary random variables. We show how, for the single mediator context, the marginal effect measured on the log odds scale can be written as the sum of the indirect and direct effects plus a residual…

When American museums, textbooks, and resources rely on a Eurocentric viewpoint, educators must provide counternarratives for all students. Through these counternarratives, students can be shown methods of being antiracist. The authors discuss lessons that demonstrate some ways art educators can: (1) illuminate the histories of artists like Louise…

The Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum (NASM) remains one of the world's most visited museums precisely because it embodies the "romance of technological progress." From its origins in the US National Museum of the early twentieth century to the opening of its first dedicated building in 1976 and beyond, visitors…

This article describes the Miniature Exhibition Project, a collaborative project involving two intimate, at-home, miniature exhibitions curated by the co-author, Beatriz Asfora Galuban, for the co-author Asami Robledo-Allen Yamamoto. These miniature exhibitions were made to study disability, empathy, and friendship and were intended to reclaim and…

This paper seeks to provide museum professionals with a practical road map to improving outcomes for people with disabilities in their museums. Written by a museum researcher with autism, this paper weaves museum research with interdisciplinary studies, while prioritizing the voices of people with disabilities, in order to develop clear,…

The inflecting intensity of artworks will be characterized as an affirmative critique of the archival objectives of the museum in the article that follows. It will be argued that the nuanced, vibrant materiality of art, the pedagogy that constitutes its aesthetic experience, enables ways of working out of the limits of the museum's archival…

At the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, a new museum being built in South Los Angeles, members of the Learning and Engagement and Social Impact divisions lead neighborhood orientations for staff from across the museum. During orientations, staff visit four neighborhoods directly surrounding the Exposition Park neighborhood, where the museum will…

Bernard Stiegler diagnoses that we live in societies of control under an aesthetic conditioning. Marketing emerges as the foundational force in societies of control, adept at shaping individual desires and cultivating them into consumerism. Capturing our attention, particularly through audiovisual mediums, dictates our behaviour. In essence, the…

Amidst the growing concerns of Islamophobia, this study seeks to shed light on the Andalusian legacy within initial teacher training. It aims to foster historical thinking by exploring the narratives embedded in cultural artefacts, while also creating alternative narratives to address the gaps in historical recognition. One significant aspect is…
