At the beginning of the 21st century museums are challenged on a
number of fronts. The prioritisation of learning in museums in the
context of demands for social justice and cultural democracy
combined with cultural policy based on economic rationalism forces
museums to review their educational purposes, redesign their
pedagogies and account for their performance. The need to theorise
learning and culture for a cultural theory of learning is very
pressing. If culture acts as a process of signification, a means of
producing meaning that shapes worldviews, learning in museums and
other cultural organisations is potentially dynamic and profound,
producing self-identities. How is this complexity to be 'measured'?
What can this 'measurement' reveal about the character of
museum-based learning? The calibration of culture is an
international phenomenon, and the measurement of the outcomes and
impact of learning in museums in England has provided a detailed
case study. Three national evaluation studies were carried out
between 2003 and 2006 based on the conceptual framework of Generic
Learning Outcomes. Using this revealing data Museums and Education
reveals the power of museum pedagogy and as it does, questions are
raised about traditional museum culture and the potential and
challenge for museum futures is suggested.
