| description | School teachers often visit museums with school pupils for educational and enjoyment purposes.
However, very little is known about the influence of teachers in pupils’ learning that takes place in museums.
This study investigates how and the extent to which school teachers facilitate student learning from museums.
This study employed qualitative and quantitative research approaches, utilizing interviews, observations, and
questionnaires as research instruments. A total of 1,000 school teachers participated in this study that was
conducted from August 2013 to December 2016. Study results established that they are three types of
teachers who accompany students to museums: enthusiastic, passive, and opportunist, and these teacher
types influence student learning both positively and negatively. The majority of the teachers who participated in
this study can be categorized as passive or opportunist. These teachers did not positively contribute to student
learning during museum trips. This study therefore provides discussion on how school teachers can facilitate
effective learning among their pupils in Zimbabwe’s museums. |
