Object-Based Learning and Well-Being - Exploring Material Connections (Paperback): Thomas Kador, Helen Chatterjee Object-Based Learning and Well-Being - Exploring Material Connections (Paperback)
Thomas Kador, Helen Chatterjee
R1,136 Discovery Miles 11 360 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

Object-Based Learning and Well-Being provides the first explicit analysis of the combined learning and well-being benefits of working with material culture and curated collections. Following on from the widely acclaimed Engaging the Senses, this volume explicitly explores the connection between the value of material culture for both learning and well-being. Bringing together experts and practitioners from eight countries on four continents, the book analyses the significance of curated collections for structured cultural interventions that may bring both educational and well-being benefits. Topics covered include the role of material culture in relation to mental health; sensory impairments; and general student and teacher well-being. Contributors also consider how collections can be employed to positively address questions of identity and belonging relating to marginalisation, colonialism and forced displacement. Object-Based Learning and Well-Being should be a key first point of reference for academics and students who are engaged in the study of object-based learning, museums, heritage, health and well-being. The book will be of particular interest to practitioners working in higher education, or those working in the cultural, heritage, museums and health sectors.

Touch in Museums - Policy and Practice in Object Handling (Hardcover): Helen Chatterjee Touch in Museums - Policy and Practice in Object Handling (Hardcover)
Helen Chatterjee
R3,996 Discovery Miles 39 960 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The value of touch and object handling in museums is little understood, despite the overwhelming weight of anecdotal evidence which confirms the benefits of physical interaction with objects. "Touch in Museums" presents a ground-breaking overview of object handling from both historical and scientific perspectives. The book aims to establish a framework for understanding the role of object handling for learning, enjoyment, and health. The broad range of essays included explores the many different contexts for object handling, not only within the museum, but extending beyond it to hospitals, schools and the wider community. The combination of theoretical analysis, policy assessment and detailed case material make "Touch in Museums" invaluable reading for students and professionals of museology or cultural heritage.
