The Historical Museum of Morsland, 2007 6 xx Introduction The Heritage Agency of Denmark has mapped the national and governmentapproved museums’ educational activities aimed at primary through upper secondary schools. The purpose of the survey is to review how the museums understand and practise education and to highlight the challenges that the museums face in relation to professional administration of their learning potential in the 21st century’s knowledge society. The museums’ educational activities This report gives an account of the mapping of the museums’ educational activities. It is a status image of the museums’ educational activities in the year 2008. The report includes recommendations on how the museums can develop their role as knowledge centres and alternative learning environments. The survey supports the Heritage Agency’s initiatives, which are to contribute to the development and quality of education at national and government-approved museums as well as strengthen collaboration between museums and the education sector. The mapping forms part of the Danish Ministry of Culture’s Dissemination Plan for national and government-approved museums, which covers the period 2007-2011. The survey is included in the Dissemination Plan’s field of action: Museums and education. The field of action includes a pool for the development of educational activities at Danish museums, a pool for qualitative user surveys, support for research projects about museum education, and the establishment of the online service e-museum in collaboration with the Danish Ministry of Education and the establishment of a national network for museum education. The Heritage Agency supports two new regional centres for museum education east of the Great Belt. One of these is the Centre for Museum Education in Region Southern Denmark. The other is Centre for Museum Education in the Central Denmark Region and Region Northern Jutland. The two new centres will collaborate with School Service Zealand on the development of a national network for museum education. The report is published along with ‘Good Practice – Examples of Danish museum education aimed at primary, lower secondary and upper secondary schools’. The examples show how the museums can contribute with their professional specialist knowledge and make a difference. It is the intention that both publications should support the Heritage Agency’s objective that education at national and government-approved museums should constitute a significant contribution to all children and young people’s primary through introduction 7 upper secondary education. The initiatives are an important part of the efforts to make cultural heritage an active resource in society and the government’s policy about creating equal access to cultural heritage for all citizens in Denmark. Planning of the survey their departments, and as a result, the data material consists of 143 responses. The response rate for the individual questions is shown in the tables, which are included as Appendices 3 and 4 in the report. Appendix 1 contains a complete list of the museums. It is based on an electronic questionnaire survey, which was completed during the period 8 February to 10 April 2008. Museum managers and people responsible for museum education completed the questionnaire. The responses have been divided by regions and museum categories. When the survey was conducted, the number of responses from museums was distributed across the regions as follows: • Capital Region of Demark: 37 • Region Zealand: 19 • Region Southern Denmark: 35 • Central Denmark Region: 37 • Region Northern Jutland: 15 The questionnaire was prepared in dialogue with museum managers and people responsible for education at eight museums. It consists of 55 questions and open comments fields where the museums have had the opportunity to add explanatory comments. The 143 responses were distributed across the following categories: • Arts: 37 • Cultural history: 98 • Natural history: 5 • Other: 3 The questionnaire is divided into five areas: • The museums’ educational activities • The museums’ educational resources • Users of the museums’ educational activities • The museums’ partners • The museums’ strategic deliberations The questionnaire is included as Appendix 2. The category ‘Other’, which is made up of three museums, has not been dealt with separately in the report. The museums have been included in the national and regional results. The survey was conducted by the Heritage Agency of Denmark and the research agency Userneeds. All 130 national and government-approved museums completed the questionnaire. Thus, the response rate was 100 %. The National Museum of Denmark and The Museum of Southern Jutland chose to complete one questionnaire for each of The report’s target groups The mapping is the first quantitative survey of national and government-approved museums’ educational activities. 8 introduction The results of the mapping of the national and government-approved museums’ educational activities are primarily directed at three target groups: • Museums • Educational institutions • Political decision-makers The report’s results and recommendations give rise to reflections and debate among the national and government-approved museums on how they can develop their learning potential and teaching practice through collaboration with educational institutions. Furthermore, the report’s results and recommendations serve as tools for the museums’ professional networks for museum education – for the development of a national network for museum education. The report is also aimed at primary/lower secondary schools, upper secondary schools, vocational training colleges, social education colleges, as well as universities with a view to inspiring further collaboration between museums and educational institutions that will increase the use of the museums’ learning potential. It is also the intention that the report should inspire institutions of higher education to develop educational offers within the field of museum education and to participate in developing a Danish research tradition concerning museum education. Last, but not least, the report is directed at political decision-makers in the educational political and cultural political fields, at municipal, regional and national levels. It is the intention that the report should form the foundation for the creation of joint dedication and responsibility for profes- sional development of museum education in Denmark. Reading guide The report can be read selectively without studying all details. The report has been designed so that it can be read at various levels to accommodate readers in different target groups. The report’s first section: Main conclusions and recommendations summarises the survey’s conclusions and the Heritage Agency’s primary recommendations for the museums. The next four sections review: The museums’ educational activities, The museums’ educational resources, Users of the museums’ educational activities, and The museums’ partners. Every section consists of analyses, conclusions and recommendations related to the mapping’s results. The following section focuses on: The museums’ strategic deliberations. The section reviews the museums’ general objectives for education aimed at primary/lower secondary schools and upper secondary programmes, distributed across museum categories, the museums’ strategic deliberations and the museums’ proposals for ways in which the Heritage Agency can support the development of the museums’ educational activities. The report’s final section, Conclusions, presents conclusions related to the national results, museum categories and regions. introduction 9 Main conclusions and recommendations The museums are knowledge centres and alternative learning spaces, which constitute a valuable resource in our 21st century knowledge society. The educational activities at the museums are cross-disciplinary and include a wide variety of learning forms, which are characterised by being problem-orientated and practicerelated. The educational activities are based on the museums’ areas of responsibility and research in the fields of cultural and natural heritage and correspond to the educational institutions’ core areas. The museums’ educational activities are characterised by a high academic level and social involvement. Therefore, museum education can constitute a significant supplement to the educational institutions’ teaching. The museums’ educational activities Educational offers Education is an integrated part of the museums’ practice. This means that the national and government-approved museums have permanent educational offers within their fields of responsibility. Target groups The museum education is primarily aimed at primary/lower secondary schools and in particular the intermediate years. Only 60 % of the museums offer education for upper secondary schools and vocational training colleges. Subjects and academic competences The museums’ educational activities supplement core academic competences in the primary through upper secondary schools. The mapping accommodate practically all subjects and academic competences in the primary through upper secondary schools. Most of the educational offers at the museums are directed at the subjects of history, Danish, social studies, visual arts, nature/technology, biology and RE. The museums’ educational offers are characterised by being both multidisciplinary and cross-disciplinary. Educational objectives Many museums are aware of teaching objectives and curricula for primary, lower and upper secondary schools, but only 15 % consistently take year objectives and curricula into account when they plan their educational activities. main conclusions and recommendations 11 u.l.k. Art Labs. National Gallery of Denmark, 2007 Where do lessons take place? Lessons primarily take place in the museums’ collection exhibitions and in their special exhibitions. They are based on objects, works or specimens depending on the museum category. At many museums, experiments and practical exercises are included in the lessons. Educational material Educational material – printed or digital – is a central part of the museums’ educational activities. However, far from all of the museums’ educational offers include educational material. Evaluation The museums do not systematically evaluate their educational activities. The mapping shows that one third of the museums do not evaluate their educational activities. Guidance Some 80 % of the museums offer guidance for pupils from primary/lower secondary schools and upper secondary programmes, and also to student teachers and university students in connection with project assignments. Work placement schemes Some 70 % of the museums have work placement schemes. Half of the museums have work placement schemes for university students, while only 30 % have work placement schemes for student teachers. Work placement schemes are a tool for collaboration and knowledge sharing between museums and educational institutions. 12 main conclusions and recommendations Offers for teachers In general, offers for teachers from educational institutions are of high priority to the museums. Courses for teachers and newsletters are the most commonly used tools for facilitation of teachers, but the museums have many different offers. The teachers are the ones who take the initiative to use the museums’ educational offers, and therefore, they are a central target group for the museums. The museums’ educational resources People responsible for education No standards have been established for which employee should be responsible for education at the museums. In some cases, the person responsible for education is the museum manager or a dissemination director. Educational staff The museums have many members of staff involved in education, but there is a great variation in their professional background and their association with the museum. They include full-time staff, part-time staff, freelance staff and volunteers. Half of the museums have more than four staff members involved in educational activities. Permanent staff, freelancers and volunteers The permanent staff are involved in educational activities at the museums. Almost half of the museums make use of freelance workers. One third of the museums have voluntary, unsalaried staff associated with their educational activities. Student staff About 40 % of the museums employ students to handle education. The museums’ use of student staff varies greatly across the different regions. Fully qualified staff All of the museums have qualified staff who handle education, but their number and the amount of time they dedicate to education related work vary significantly. Educational competences The staff who handle education at the museums have very different backgrounds and qualifications. They include people with Master’s degrees from the humanities, social sciences and science faculties, qualified teachers, artists trained at the academies of art, people trained as conservators, people with training as educators, craftsmen and students from universities, schools of art and colleges of education. The museums’ educational staff represent highly specialised competences in academic and cross-disciplinary theory, education, artistic subjects and vocational trades. The museums’ cross-disciplinary groups of staff constitute a great potential and a prerequisite for the complex learning processes that the museums can offer. Use of resources The priority given to education varies a lot depending on the museums’ size and finances. The greatest expense is related to the practical conducting of educational activities. In contrast, the museums as a whole use relatively limited resources on planning, developing and evaluating their educational activities. Facilities The physical frameworks for the museums’ educational activities are primarily exhibitions of objects, works or specimen, depending on the museum category. Many museums also include workshop facilities, laboratories and lecture halls in connection with practical and experimental exercises. Tools and materials Drawing is the educational tool that is used by most museums during lessons. About one third of the museums use IT equipment, cameras or video in connection with their educational activities. So far, only a few museums use mobile phones, MP3 players and PDAs during lessons. The museums’ use of tools and materials vary a lot. The museums’ professional fields of responsibility, physical frameworks and the priority they give to the area of education affects the choice of tools and materials that are included in their educational activities. Users of the museums’ educational activities Primary and lower secondary schools The number of classes from primary/lower secondary schools that make use of the museums’ educational offers varies a lot, but 61 % of the museums have more than 50 classes per year, while 25 % have between 21 and 50 classes per year from primary/lower secondary schools. Upper secondary schools Only a few classes from upper secondary schools main conclusions and recommendations 13 make use of the museums’ educational offers. The largest group of museums have between 1 and 10 classes per year, while only 9 % of the museums receive more than 50 upper secondary school classes per year. 14 % of the museums do not have any upper secondary school classes receiving education at all. Vocational training colleges The number of classes from vocational training colleges that make use of the museums’ educational offers is limited. 44 % have 1-5 classes, 18 % have between 6 and 20 classes, 4 % have 2150 classes, while 5 % have more than 50 classes per year. 29 % of the museums do not receive classes from vocational training colleges. Colleges of education Educational offers aimed at student teachers are an introduction to museum education and can contribute to strengthening collaboration between primary/lower secondary schools and museums and thus increase the primary/lower secondary schools’ use of the museums’ educational activities. Only a few classes of student teachers make use of the museums’ educational offers. 35 % of the museums have no classes from colleges of education. Only 3 % have more than 50 classes per year. Other user groups In general, the museum education is used by the entire education sector and also by all other target groups that make use of the museums. The questionnaire responses show that the museums’ educational activities have a great synergy effect 14 main conclusions and recommendations on the museums’ other dissemination. Therefore, the quality and the degree of professionalisation of the museums’ educational activities are also decisive for the quality of the museums’ overall dissemination. Guidance The number of pupils/students who make use of the museums’ offers of guidance in connection with project work is very limited despite the fact that 78 % of the museums offer guidance to pupils/students in connection with project work. Primary/lower secondary school pupils Only 27 % of the museums have more than 20 primary/lower secondary school pupils per year, while 31 % have between 1 and 5 primary/lower secondary school pupils per year; the rest do not have pupils from primary/lower secondary schools. Upper secondary school pupils 44 % of the museums have between 1 and 5 upper secondary school pupils per year, 10 % have more than 20 pupils per year, and 26 % do not have any pupils form upper secondary schools receiving guidance in connection with project work. Pupils from vocational training colleges 6 % of the museums have more than 20 pupils from vocational training colleges receiving guidance. 51 % do not provide guidance for pupils from vocational training colleges. Other user groups 44 % of the museums annually provide guidance for 1-5 pupils from other educational programmes. These include student teachers, pupils from VUC (adult training centres), high schools, schools of art and university students. Geographic distribution of users The museums’ users of educational activities are primarily local/from the immediate municipalities. On average, 66 % of the museums’ users are local/municipal educational institutions, while the average of regional users is 22 %, and the average number of national users of educational offers at the museums is 10 %. 2 % of the users of the museums’ educational activities are international educational institutions. The museums’ partners Collaboration with educational institutions The vast majority of the museums collaborate with educational institutions on the development of their educational activities. Primary/lower secondary schools are the museums’ primary partners as regards development of educational activities. However, upper secondary schools, vocational training colleges, colleges of education and universities are also important partners in the development of the museums’ educational activities. If museum education is to constitute an academic supplement to the educational institutions’ teaching, it is important that the museums know and take the educational institutions’ year objectives and curricula into account. Conversely, it is also essential that the educational institutions are aware of the museum institution and the museums’ areas of responsibility and learning potential. Therefore, collaboration between museums and educational institutions is necessary as a basis for the development of relevant high quality educational activities at the museums. Collaboration between museums Almost half of the museums collaborate with other museums on the development of teaching activities. Strengthened collaboration between national and government-approved museums may serve to develop and assure the quality of the museums’ educational activities. I.e.educational activities that utilise the museums’ special frameworks to offer formal educational activities in informal learning environments. Other partners Some 40 % of the museums collaborate with public institutions (municipal centres of education, consultants and children’s culture consultants), and about 40 % collaborate with cultural institutions other than museums (libraries, theatres, centres of contemporary art, archives and science centres etc.). Approx. 20 % collaborate with associations and about 15 % collaborate with private companies. 40 % indicate that they collaborate with others, e.g. interest groups and volunteers from various industries. The mapping documents that the museums have a large network of partners and a wide local/municipal anchoring in relation to their educational activities. The wide collaboration is a good foun- main conclusions and recommendations 15 Reception class being taught about the Bronze Age as part of dation for developing high quality and relevant educational activities and creating a sense of ownership for the museums. a project on language, culture and identity. The National Museum of Denmark, 2006 Marketing of educational activities The museums market their educational offers through many different channels. All of the museums use their own websites to market their educational activities. More than half of the museums use their own teachers’ networks, and half of them use direct mail or e-museum.dk in their marketing. About 30 % make use of School Service Zealand’s website at www.skoletjenesten.dk. In addition, the museums use professional journals, info pamphlets, school visits and a whole string of other methods to advertise their educational activities. The primary channels of communication are the museums’ own websites and the individual museum’s own teachers’ network. At the time the mapping was carried out, half of the museums had material posted at www.e-museum.dk. The museums’ strategic deliberations Objectives for educational activities The museums’ educational offers are based on democracy and culture. The objective of the museums’ educational activities aimed at primary/ lower secondary schools and upper secondary programmes is to strengthen the pupils’ cultural identity and to create social inclusion and an active sense of citizenship on the basis of current year objectives and curricula. 16 main conclusions and recommendations Far from all of the museums have defined concrete objectives for their educational activities. The museums’ objectives are individual and characterised by involvement. Often, it is the person responsible for education who phrases the objectives, which are not a part of the museums’ combined basic values and dissemination strategy. Development and collaboration with educational institutions In general, educational activities are an important focus area for the museums. The museums indicate that finances and staff resources are the most important prerequisites for the quality of their educational activities. However, the museums are also looking for further training offers for their educational staff and for knowledge sharing through a stronger organisation of professional networks. The museums’ proposals for the Heritage Agency The museums encourage the Heritage Agency to demand a professionalisation of their teaching activities, to support qualifying further training for the teaching staff at the museums, and to ensure a continuation of pool funds for the development of teaching activities. Recommendations The Heritage Agency recommends: • That the museums phrase concrete objectives for their educational activities, so that they become a part of the museums’ dissemina- tion strategies. • That the museums strengthen their colabora- tion with primary through upper secondary schools, vocational training colleges, colleges of education and universities on the develop- ment of their educational activities. • That all museums offer education to both primary/lower secondary and upper secondary schools that comply with the educational institutions’ year objectives and curricula. • That the museums develop digital learning resources that supplement education at the museums. • That the museums develop a systematic evaluation practice in relation to their educational activities. • That the museums develop and make visible their guidance offers to pupils and students in connection with project assignments. • That the museums develop their work placement schemes for student teachers and university students. • That the museums develop their offers for teachers at the educational institutions, so that they can make use of the museums’ learning potential as a supplement to their teaching. • That the museums collaborate with universities to strengthen research that elucidates the museums’ learning potential. xx 17 The museums’ educational activities This section maps the museums’ educational offers aimed at primary through upper secondary schools, which subjects and target groups the offers are aimed at, and whether the educational offers take curricula and year objectives into account. The section also reviews the extent to which the museums evaluate their educational activities and whether the museums offer guidance to pupils in connection with project work. Furthermore, the section covers the museums’ work placement schemes and offers for teachers. Educational offers The mapping of the museums’ educational offers for primary/lower secondary schools and upper secondary programmes gives an indication of how the museums prioritise their educational activities. 97 % of the museums offer education. 3 % have one educational offer, 6 % have two educational offers, and 7 % have three educational offers. 66 % Spørgsmål 5: Hvor mange undervisningstilbud har museerne? De nationale tal 100% 90% of the museums have four or more educational offers. 15 % of the museums only offer individually adapted courses, which are planned after teachers from educational institutions make contact with the museums. The museums’ comments to the question show that 50 % of the museums’ educational offers are seasonal or depend on the museums’ special exhibitions. Furthermore, about 30 % of the museums stress that their permanent educational offers are planned individually in accordance with the specific school class’ needs based on a dialogue with the teacher. 80% 70% 58% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 15% 10% 3% 3% Ingen 1 6% 7% 8% 2 3 4 0% Individuelt tilpassede undervisningsforløb 18 the museums’ educational activities Mere end 4 Conclusion The number of educational offers at the museums varies. Educational offers are an integrated part of the museums’ practice, and the vast majority of the museums have permanent educational offers within their academic fields of responsibility, collections and special exhibitions. The difference between the museums who have permanent offers and those who only have individually adapted courses is primarily that the museums with permanent educational offers have described the academic content and advertised it to their users. Spørgsmål 6: Hvilke målgruppe/-r henvender undervisningstilbuddet/-ene sig til? De nationale tal 100% 90% Recommendation The individually adapted courses offered by a number of museums may be a barrier to teachers who do not already know the museums. It may be difficult for a teacher who is not familiar with a museum’s field of responsibility to ascertain which academic competences the museum can offer. Therefore, it may be appropriate for museums that offer individually adapted educational courses to elaborate descriptions of their educational offers that explain which subjects, year objectives and curricula are being accommodated by the educational offers. This would make the museums’ educational offers visible and accessible. Target groups The starting point for strengthening the development of the museums’ educational activities is to create clarity about whom the museums are offering education to. 80-95 % of the museums offer education to the early, intermediate and last years of primary/ lower secondary school, while only 63 % of the museums offer education to upper secondary programmes. (1) The museums’ comments to the question show that offers aimed at upper secondary schools/vocational training colleges are primarily aimed at the upper secondary schools. 59 % of the museums also offer education to other educational institutions. These include 95% 85% 80% 80% 70% 63% 59% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Indskoling Mellemtrin Udskoling Ungdomsuddannelser universities, educators’ colleges, design schools, academies of music, the Royal School of Library and Information Science, the academies of art, the School of Conservation, the social/health worker programme, high schools, schools of home economics, VUC (adult training colleges), agricultural colleges, language centres, kindergartens, afterschool centres, special schools and education in relation to further education. In geographic terms, Region Southern Denmark diverges, as only 54 % of the museums here offer education to upper secondary schools/vocational training colleges. In contrast, in the Central Denmark Region, 71 % of the museums have educational offers for upper secondary programmes. 99 % of the cultural history museums offer education for the intermediate years of primary/ lower secondary school. This is significantly more than the art and natural history museums, where 86 % and 80 %, respectively, offer similar education. There is also a small majority of art museums the museums’ educational activities 19 Andre (1) The upper secondary programmes cover the upper secondary schools (the Danish Gymnasium), HF (Higher Preparatory Examination Course), IB (International Baccalaureate), HHX (Higher Commercial Examination), HTX (Higher Technical Examination) and the vocational training colleges. Spørgsmål 8: Hvilke fag/fagligheder henvender undervisningstilbuddet/-ene sig til? De nationale tal 100% 89% 90% 80% 76% 70% 65% 60% 54% 51% 50% 45% 40% 30% 30% 19% 20% 22% 21% 25% 23% 19% 18% 14% 12% 10% 0% Recommendation It is the assessment of the Heritage Agency that the museums should give priority to the development of educational offers aimed at upper secondary programmes, e.g. through partnerships with upper secondary schools and vocational training colleges. Hvilke fag/fagligheder henvender undervisningstilbuddet/-ene sig til? Kulturhistoriske museer 97% 100% 90% 80% 70% 68% Conclusion The museums give priority to educational offers aimed at primary/lower secondary schools. The museums’ educational offers are primarily aimed at primary/lower secondary schools and in particular the intermediate years. The fact that 99 % of the cultural history museums offer teaching to the intermediate years of primary/lower secondary schools may be due to the subject of history being compulsory at this level. The museums have a large development potential as regards the development of educational offers aimed at upper secondary programmes. 73% 58% 60% 50% 43% Subjects and academic competences 39% 40% 28% 30% 20% 12% 18% 14% 22% 21% 12% 10% 23% 18% 7% 0% that offer education at upper secondary level, as 67 % of the art museums have educational courses aimed at this level, whereas only 60 % of the natural history and cultural history museums have equivalent courses. 20 the museums’ educational activities The mapping of which subjects and academic competences the museums’ educational offers accommodate render the museums’ learning potential visible. Result 89 % of the museums’ educational offers are directed at the subject of history. This is followed by Danish (76 %), social studies (65 %) and visual arts (54 %). 51 % of the museums’ educational offers relate to the subject of nature/technology. This is followed by the subjects of RE (45 %), drama (30 %), biology (23 %), philosophy (22 %), maths (21 %), physics (19 %), media studies (19 %), music (14 %) and chemistry (12 %). Hvilke fag/fagligheder henvender undervisningstilbuddet/-ene sig til? Kunstmuseer 100% 25 % of the museums state that their educational offers are also aimed at other subjects. As for educational offers aimed at primary/lower secondary schools, this applies to the subjects of geography, needlework, home economics, woodwork and outdoor life. As regards upper secondary programmes, this applies to museology, design, ancient history, Greek, Latin, Spanish, geography, natural geography, geology, palaeontology, astronomy, history of technology, contemporary history, working environment and business studies. 100% 97% 90% 80% 75% 70% 60% 56% 53% 47% 50% 42% 40% 20% 11% 10% 11% 14% 17% 0% Hvilke fag/fagligheder henvender undervisningstilbuddet/-ene sig til?

The natural history museums’ 31% 25% About 15 % of the museums also offer general study preparatory courses for upper secondary schools. Conclusion The museums’ academic competences supplement core competences in the primary/lower secondary and upper secondary schools. The subjects that most of the museums’ educational offers are aimed at are history and Danish. However, as a whole, the museums’ educational offers accommodate all subjects in the primary/ lower secondary schools and upper secondary programmes. The museums’ educational offers are characterised by being multi-disciplinary and cross-disciplinary. 36% 33% 31% 30% 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 60% 50% 40% 40% 40% 40% 30% 20% 20% 20% 20% 20% 20% 10% 0% educational offers are primarily directed at nature/ technology, biology and physics. the museums’ educational activities 21 20% Educational objectives It is a prerequisite for professional development of relevant educational activities at the museums that the museums are familiar with year objectives and curricula for the primary/lower secondary schools and upper secondary programmes. Spørgsmål 9: Tager museerne højde for undervisningsmål i de enkelte fag ved tilrettelægningen af undervisningstilbuddet/-ene? Recommendation The Heritage Agency assesses that by focusing on educational objectives and executive orders for the different subjects, the museums would be able to target and improve the quality of their educational offers so that they would become relevant in primary/lower secondary schools and upper secondary programmes to a higher degree. In other words, the museums should accommodate the users’ requirements and needs. De nationale tal 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 43% 40% 27% 30% 20% Conclusion The mapping documents that the vast majority of the museums are aware of educational objectives and curricula for primary/lower secondary schools and upper secondary programmes, but only 15 % consistently consider these when planning their educational activities. 15% 9% 10% 5% 0% Altid I de fleste tilfælde Kun i enkelte tilfælde Aldrig Ved ikke When the museums plan their educational offers, 15 % always consider the educational institutions’ educational objectives; 43 % consider educational objectives in most cases, and 9 % never consider educational objectives. When it comes to whether the museums consider educational objectives in connection with their planning of educational offers, there are geographic variations. In Region Southern Denmark, only 6 % of the museums consistently consider the educational objectives of the different subjects. In the Capital Region of Denmark, on the other hand, 23 % do so. 22 the museums’ educational activities Where do lessons take place? Mapping of the physical frameworks within which the museums’ educational activities take place helps to document the learning potential inherent in museum education. Result 91 % of the museums educate in their collection exhibitions. 85 % educate in their special exhibitions. Many cultural history museums also use the cultural and urban landscapes in their educational activities. For instance, churches, archaeological digs, reconstructed environments and buildings, the museums’ own outdoor areas and city history archives are used as frameworks for education. 68 % of the museums use workshops, laboratories or lecture halls in connection with education. Spørgsmål 10: Hvor foregår undervisningstilbuddet/-ene? De nationale tal 100% 90% In the comments field for the category ‘other places’, 15 % of the museums indicate that they solely offer educational activities in separate rooms at the museum. 5 % of the museums offer education in the form of digital material, which is downloaded from the Internet and used at the educational institutions. 15 % of the museums offer to provide education at educational institutions, e.g. in combination with education at the museum. Conclusion The museums’ lessons primarily take place in their collections and special exhibitions. Lessons are based on objects, works or specimens and determined by the location, and they often include practical and/or experimental/problem-orientated dimensions. Through practical exercises and experiments, the museums are able to offer extensive educational courses and complex learning processes. It is characteristic of the museums’ educational activities that they have both material and immaterial cultural and natural heritage as their subject matter. Recommendation Museums that only offer education in separate rooms or at educational institutions should consider how they can use their educational resources most appropriately in terms of being a supplement to teaching at the educational institutions. 91% 85% 80% 68% 70% 60% 52% 48% 50% 40% 35% 30% 20% 10% 0% It is precisely in the light of the museums’ physical frameworks and academic specialist knowledge that they are able to constitute an important supplement to the educational institutions. The museums will not be able to fill this role if they take over and copy teaching that takes place at the educational institutions. Educational material Educational material – printed or digital – is a central part of the museums’ educational offers. The educational material anchors the education and knowledge offered by the museums. The educational material can be included as part of examination requirements and will legitimise the priority given to museum education by the educational institutions.

Technological development presents new challenges to the museums and opens possibilities for contributing to the 21st century knowledge society, not least in relation to the development of the museums’ learning potential. Considering that 28 % of the museums never prepare digital educational material, and that 68 % only elaborate digital educational material for some courses, the Heritage Agency assesses that the museums have a huge development potential in the area of digital educational material. 40% 28% 30% 20% 10% 4% 0% Nogle undervisningstilbud Alle undervisningstilbud Nej material, and 4 % always supplement educational activities with digital material. 73 % of the museums supplement their educational activities with printed material in some cases, while 68 % supplement with digital educational material in some cases. The survey also shows that 22 % of the 24 the museums’ educational activities Recommendation It would be appropriate to give priority to the development of digital educational material. Further training for museum teachers in the fields of digital media and learning may also contribute to the development and higher quality of museum education. The Heritage Agency also assesses that there is a need for qualitative analyses of already existing educational materials to be carried out. The results may provide the museums with new tools for providing educational offers of a higher quality. Evaluation Evaluation and quality assurance are prerequisites for ensuring that the museums’ educational activities are of relevance to users and that they are based on the museums’ academic fields of responsibility and research. The evaluation tools ensure that staff who handle museum education have adequate educational competences. Spørgsmål 20: Evaluerer museerne undervisningstilbuddene? De nationale tal 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 45% 37% 40% Result 30 % of the museums do not evaluate their educational activities, while 37 % respond that they consistently evaluate their educational activities. In the comments field, half of the museums who answer yes to the question of whether they evaluate their educational activities, have indicated that in their evaluation, they stress the importance of academic relevance and pedagogical practice and that the course complies with the educational objectives. 23 % of the museums evaluate the level of the pupils’ learning. 45 % of the museums evaluate the teachers’ satisfaction with the educational offers. In the comments field, about 20 % of the museums indicate that they use questionnaires, which pupils and teachers complete immediately after the lessons. At some museums, the educational staff supervise each other and make internal evaluations. Other museums carry out qualitative evaluations based on interviews with focus groups. There are also several examples of external institutions evaluating development projects at the museums. It is characteristic of the museums that evaluate their educational activities that it is precisely via the 30% 30% 23% 20% 10% 0% Nej Ja, vi evaluerer Ja, vi evaluerer elevernes læringsudbytte evaluation processes and the dialogue with the users that they develop and improve the quality of their educational activities. The museums express a general wish to apply more resources to evaluations and satisfaction surveys. Conclusion The survey shows that the museums do not carry out systematic evaluations of their educational activities, and that one third of the museums do not evaluate their educational practice at all. The Heritage Agency assesses that evaluation could be used as a tool to develop and improve the quality of the museums’ educational activities, and that evaluation tools may similarly be applied to involve users in the development of relevant educational activities. Recommendation The museums should share their knowledge of the museums’ educational activities 25 Ja, vi evaluerer undervisernes tilfredshed med undervisningstilbuddet/-ene Spørgsmål 15: Tilbyder museerne vejledning til elever i forbindelse med projektarbejde? De nationale tal 100% 90% 80% 78% 70% 60% 50% Conclusion The majority of the museums offer guidance in connection with project assignments. The survey does not review how the museums carry out the guidance in practice.

The Heritage Agency recommends that the museums strengthen the further education of the people responsible for education as regards evaluation. Guidance The educational institutions apply the project work form at all levels, and therefore, it is essential that the museums as knowledge centres are able to accommodate the educational institutions’ need for project guidance as part of their educational activities. Result 78 % of the museums offer guidance to pupils in connection with project work. No significant differences are found between the regions; however, the Capital Region of Denmark has the lowest percentage of museums offering guidance. 26 the museums’ educational activities Recommendation It may be beneficial for the museums to share knowledge and strengthen the dialogue with educational institutions as to how they can develop their guidance offers to pupils and students in connection with project work with a view to getting to a point where all museums are able to offer guidance. Work placement schemes Work placement schemes for students from universities and educator colleges and colleagues from other museums may be a rewarding collaboration form through which the museums can acquire new relevant knowledge that can heighten the quality of and develop their educational offers. Work placement schemes are an important tool in the development of collaboration between museums and educational institutions. Result One third of the museums do not offer work placements. 30 % of the museums offer work placements for student teachers. 58 % offer work placements for university students. 12 % of the museums offer colleagues from national and international museums the opportunity of a work placement. 29 % offer placements to students from other educational programmes. In the comments field of the questionnaire, the museums indicate that this group is primarily made up of students from educator and artistic programmes.

Offers for teachers The teachers at the educational institutions are the ones who take the initiative to make use of the museums’ educational offers. Therefore, they are a crucial target group for the museums. 28 the museums’ educational activities In addition, approx. 20 % of the museums conduct information meetings at municipal school libraries, which act as ambassadors for the museums’ educational activities at the schools. Similarly, 10 % of the museums hold dialogue meetings with municipal heads of school concerning their educational activities. A number of museums also participate in meetings for new teachers in the municipalities, where they introduce their educational offers. 35 % of the museums collaborate with the local educational centres in charge of procuring educational and library materials for the schools.

Some 90 % of the museums have a person who is responsible for education, but there are great variations as to who handles the task. It may be the museum manager, the chief inspector or a dissemination inspector. In some cases, the task is shared by a number of people. There are also examples of museum education being handled in collaboration with the municipal school administration. In such cases, it may be e.g. a primary/lower secondary school teacher who is responsible for education.

Region Southern Denmark is the region that has the lowest number of people assigned to handle the task. Only 34 % of the museums in Region Southern Denmark have more than four people engaged in education. At the natural history museums, 80 % of the museums have more than four people handling education. This corresponds to four out of the five natural history museums. Among the cultural history museums, 52 % have more than four educational staff.

However, the number of educational staff varies greatly across the regions and the museum categories. This is partly related to the number of educational offers and users. Recommendation The number of educational staff at the museums may be a reason for the museums to focus on how to ensure internal knowledge sharing between educational staff and the museum’s other professional staff in order to ensure the development of the educational staff’s competences.

However, the museums’ comments to this question show that educational activities are just one of a multitude of functions undertaken by the permanent museum staff. As a result, there are great variations in how the permanent museum staff handle educational functions. Recommendation The museums should consider how they could apply their staff resources most appropriately in order to develop top quality educational activities.

There may be a number of reasons for this. The demand for museum education varies a lot depending on the seasons and special exhibitions, and this may be one explanation. 36 the museums’ educational resources 46 % of the cultural history museums have voluntary educational staff, while only 14 % of the art museums have volunteers handling education. No volunteers handle education at the natural history museums. Conclusion There is a significant variation in the number of voluntary educational staff at the museums. Especially the cultural history museums have many volunteers, whereas the natural history museums do not have any voluntary educational staff at all. To quite a high degree, this difference reflects the museum categories’ different fields of responsibility and different museum cultures. Hvor mange af de personer, der arbejder med undervisning på museet, arbejder frivilligt (ulønnet)? Kunstmuseer 100% The Heritage Agency assesses that the voluntary workers constitute an important resource for especially the cultural history museums, both in terms of competences and in terms of the museums being able to save on salary expenses. The voluntary, unsalaried workers associated with the cultural history museums also help ensure the museums’ local anchoring, and at the same time, the museums are able to contribute to solving social tasks using voluntary, unsalaried staff. However, the voluntary workforce can also represent a burden to the museums in relation to solving professional tasks. 90% 86% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 8% 10% 6% 0% Ingen 1 Flere end 4 Hvor mange af de personer, der arbejder med undervisning på museet, arbejder frivilligt (ulønnet)? Naturhistoriske museer Recommendation The museums should consider how they use voluntary workers in the educational activities. It is difficult to retain these workers’ competences and experience within the organisation. They may also be a barrier in relation to the development of a professional organisation. The use of volunteers places special demands on the museums’ management resources. The Heritage Agency recommends that the museums use their professional networks to share experience about the use of voluntary educational staff. It may also be relevant for the museums’ professional education network to have a look at international experience. Similarly, it may be relevant for the museums to share knowledge with sports associations, who have great experience as regards the use of volunteers in their instruction of children and young people. 100% 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Ingen the museums’ educational resources 37 Student staff members Students who are associated with the museums’ educational activities may contribute new up-todate knowledge to the museums and strengthen the museums’ collaboration with the education sector.

The survey shows a strong majority of student staff at the museums in the Capital Region of 38 the museums’ educational resources Denmark, where 74 % have student educational staff. The lowest number of students employed to handle education is found at the museums in Region Southern Denmark, as only 18 % of the museums there have student educational staff. Museums with student employees indicate in the comment field for this question that they experience a great loss of knowledge because they are unable to retain the staff once they have completed their studies. Conclusion The museums’ use of student staff varies greatly across the different regions. When the Capital Region of Denmark has significantly more student staff associated with their educational activities this is due to the fact that School Service Zealand primarily has part-time student employees at the museums to conduct the School Service’s educational activities. Students from universities and colleges of education who are associated with the museums’ educational activities may contribute new up-to-date knowledge and strengthen the museums’ collaboration with the education sector. This applies to both universities and colleges of education. It also applies to primary/lower secondary schools and upper secondary programmes, as the graduates have insight into the museums’ learning potential, and as employees in upper secondary programmes and in primary/ lower secondary schools, they become users of the museums’ educational activities and are able to serve as ambassadors and partners for the museums. On the other hand, if education at the individual museum is carried out solely by student staff, it may create difficulties when it comes to retaining knowledge and competences at the individual institution, which, in turn, makes it difficult to maintain a professional quality and development of the museums’ educational activities.

Fully qualified staff It is essential for the quality of the museums’ educational activities that it be based on a theoretical and methodical foundation anchored in the individual museum. The prerequisite for such anchoring and development is that the museums have permanent staff with educational and relevant academic qualifications in relation to the individual museum’s professional field of responsibility. Result All museums have educational staff who have completed their education. 70 % have 1-4 employees with completed education. 29 % have more than four employees with a museum-relevant education. 20% 17% 4 3 2 1 The cultural history and natural history museums more or less reflect the national figures, whereas the art museums are the museum category that has the lowest number of qualified staff. At 31 % of the art museums, only one qualified staff member works with education. In the Capital Region of Denmark, 37 % of the museums have just one qualified member of staff working with education. In the country as a whole, 20 % of the museums only have one qualified employee. In the Capital Region of Denmark, 23 % of the museums have more than four qualified educational staff. This is less than the 29 % at a national level. In Region Northern Jutland, no less than 47 % of the museums have more than four qualified employees who handle museum education.

There is a great majority of staff with an academic background within the faculties of humanities, science and social sciences. It is the assessment of the Heritage Agency that the prerequisite for anchoring and developing a theoretical and methodical foundation for the museums’ educational activities is that the museums have permanent staff with relevant academic/museological as well as educational qualifications. This is decisive for a professional quality in the museums’ educational offers. Similarly, permanent educational staff are a prerequisite for knowledge sharing and collaboration with the museums’ other professional staff, who handle exhibition work and research. The subjects most commonly represented among the academic employees working with education at the cultural history museums are history, prehistoric archaeology, medieval archaeology, European ethnology and anthropology. At the art museums, the main subjects represented are art history, modern culture and cultural dissemination, Danish and literary history. At the natural history museums, the hired educational staff primarily have scientific qualifications. The educational competences of the staff who handle education is the foundation for the quality of the educational activities that the museums are able to offer. About 10 % of the academic staff have museology as their minor or subsidiary subject, and several museums mention that they have an employee who has completed the museum dissemination course at the Association of Danish Museums. In their questionnaire responses, the museums have not consistently accounted for the main subjects of the staff members who are qualified teachers. The 20 % of the educational staff who have other qualifications have trained at design schools, art academies, conservation colleges, music academies, educator colleges, or they have vocational qualifications. Result The museums state that the educational staff varies greatly in terms of both academic qualifications and educational competences. The two dominant professional groups are academics, Conclusion The museums have at their disposal highly specialised competences within academic and crossdisciplinary theory, practical and artistic subjects and education. Combined with the museums’ Recommendation The Heritage Agency recommends that the museums focus on how to anchor and develop their educational resources through internal knowledge sharing and collaboration among their permanent staff. Educational competences 40 the museums’ educational resources physical frameworks, collections and exhibitions, areas of responsibility and research, this forms the foundation for the museums to be able to offer complex and top quality educational offers, which can supplement the teaching in primary/ lower secondary schools and upper secondary programmes. The diversity of staff and their different terms of employment, however, place special demands on the museums’ organisation and management. It is a challenge to the museums to ensure the internal knowledge sharing to provide cohesion between the museums’ areas of responsibility, exhibitions and research and a professional educational practice. The staff diversity also poses special challenges to the collaboration between museums and educational institutions as regards how the museums and the educational institutions best supplement each other’s academic competences. Recommendation The Heritage Agency recommends that the museums focus on how to anchor and develop their educational resources through the development of their institutions as organisations of learning. It would be appropriate to establish job-switch schemes among the museums’ educational staff and teachers from primary/lower secondary schools and upper secondary programmes in order to create a mutual understanding of how educational institutions and museums can collaborate. It is necessary to include staff diversity in the planning of further training, so that staff with an academic and/or museological background are offered further training in the form of postgraduate teacher training with a focus on pedagogy, learning and subject matter didactics, while staff with teaching qualifications, in turn, are offered training with a focus on museology. Use of resources There is a connection between the use of resources and the professional development of the museums’ educational activities. Result It has been difficult for the museums to state precisely how many man-years they spend on educational activities, and many have not been able to answer the question. Consequently, no statistical calculation has been made about this question. From the comment field for the question, it appears that on an annual basis, the museums spend between 100 hours and 20 man-years of approx. 1,600 hours on education. The museums indicate that the great differences in their educational staff’s terms of employment are the most important reason why they are unable to answer the question. As already mentioned, the staff include full-time and part-time staff, freelancers and unsalaried co-workers. About 30 % of the museums express that it is the practical conducting of educational activities that accounts for most of the costs. In contrast, they use relatively limited resources on planning, developing and evaluating their educational offers. Furthermore, 25 % of the museums have responded that the use of resources depends on the museums’ educational resources 41 whether the museum has received grants for development projects. This reflects to a high degree how the museums find that they lack money for handling educational activities, and many museums consider museum education development work.

Facilities The facilities that form the framework for museum education are a central dimension in the special learning environments offered by the museums, and at the same time, they help demonstrate how museums prioritise the development of their learning environments. Museernes fysiske faciliteter Kulturhistoriske museer 100% Conclusion The priority given to education varies a lot depending on the museums’ size and finances.

It may be worth considering the issue of study places in connection with the museums’ development of offers of guidance for pupils and students working on project assignments. Those 40 % of the museums who have added comments under the category ‘Other’ indicate that they use easels and various materials for artistic activities, musical instruments, equipment for nature investigations, and copies of original dress, hand tools and kitchen tools. Only a limited number use mobile phones, MP3 players and PDAs. Tools and materials Conclusion The museums’ professional fields of responsibility, physical frameworks and the priority they give to the area of education affect the choice of tools, instruments and IT equipment that they use in the educational activities. The use of tools and materials vary a lot, but the vast majority of the museums use drawing in their educational activities. The museums’ responses document that educational offers at the museums often focus on the relation between theory/analysis and practice. The tools and materials used by the museums in connection with their educational activities have an influence on the type of learning and the learning processes that the museums are able to offer. Result 63 % of the museums use drawing as an educational tool in their educational activities. 37 % use IT. 22 % and 23 %, respectively, use cameras or video in connection with educational activities.

The numbers indicate a great development potential at the museums in relation to their educational activities. Among the museums that receive less than 50 classes annually, there may be a risk that the quality and relevance of their educational offers is inadequate, among other things because they do not have sufficient practical teaching experience.

In comparison to the figures for the number of classes from primary/lower secondary schools that use the museums’ educational offers, the results are striking. For instance, 61 % of the museums educate more than 50 primary/ lower secondary school classes per year, while only 9 % of the museums educate more than 50 classes from upper secondary schools per year. It is paradoxical that the distribution of users across primary/lower secondary and upper secondary schools looks like this considering the professional specialist knowledge that the museums are able to offer. The unequal distribution of users from primary/lower secondary and upper secondary schools, respectively, may also lead to an inadequate quality of museum education for the upper secondary level, because the educational staff’s practical experience in educating upper secondary school pupils is very limited. Recommendation The Heritage Agency recommends that the museums focus particularly on developing and improving the quality of their educational activities for the upper secondary schools. The museums should collaborate with upper secondary schools as to which academic competences the museums have at their disposal and how these can supplement the subjects and curricula of the upper secondary programmes with a view to increasing the number of classes that participate in the museums’ educational offers. The museums should establish job-switch schemes between upper secondary school teachers and educational staff from the museums in order to strengthen the museums’ knowledge of ministerial orders on subjects and curricula for upper secondary programmes, and in order to ensure that upper secondary school teachers gain knowledge of the museums’ potential as knowledge centres and alternative learning environments. It is relevant for the museums not only to clarify how their museum education works, but also how their digital material can be used in an educational context. They should also look at possibilities of developing their guidance of pupils in connection with project work and establishing study places and project rooms at the museums.

As regards the cultural history museums, only 51 % of the museums annually educate 1-10 classes of student teachers. As for the natural history museums and the cultural history museums, 40 % and 44 %, respectively, have no student teachers participating in educational activities. Out of the art museums, however, only 17 % of the museums do not educate student teachers. Conclusion Only very few classes from colleges of education make use of the museums’ educational offers. One third of the museums have no users in this group at all. The educational offers aimed at student teachers are an introduction to museum education that gives the future teachers insight into how the museums’ educational activities can supplement their teaching. This means that educational offers aimed at classes from colleges of education can contribute to strengthening collaboration with primary/lower secondary schools and increase their use of the museums’ educational activities. Recommendation It would be appropriate for the museums to focus on development and quality assurance of educational offers aimed at colleges of education. In this connection, the museums could also develop their work placement schemes for student teachers.

Result A large number of other educational institutions make use of the museums’ educational offers. Among the educational institutions mentioned by the museums are universities, academies of art, the School of Conservation, design schools, music academies, the Royal School of Library and Information Science, university extension courses, schools of needlework, the cabinet maker programme, the educator programmes, agricultural colleges, the social/health worker programme, high schools, night schools/adult education associations, hairdresser’s schools, language centres and tourist guide courses. The museums also state that their educational offers are used by private groups of all ages, e.g. families with children, groups of children and adults with special needs, senior citizen groups, private companies and craftsmen’s associations, arts associations, staff unions and adult day-care institutions. Conclusion The museums’ educational offers are used by practically the entire education sector and by a whole string of other, private groups. The questionnaire responses show that the museums’ educational activities have a great synergy effect 62 users of the museums’ educational activities on the museums’ other dissemination. This means that the learning processes planned by the museums for primary/lower secondary schools and upper secondary programmes often form the basis for the museums’ other dissemination initiatives. Therefore, the quality and the degree of professionalisation of the museums’ educational competences are also decisive for the quality of the museums’ overall dissemination. The results of the mapping are a further incentive for the museums to make museum education a special focus area with a view to professionalising the museums’ dissemination as a whole. This means that the museums develop their potential as knowledge centres and learning environments. Recommendation The Heritage Agency recommends that the museums focus on developing their learning potential and educational competences. This could be done by the museums’ professional networks for museum education collaborating with universities and educational institutions to develop a postgraduate teacher training programme for educational staff at the museums, which would strengthen the theoretical and methodological foundation for practice and knowledge of the education sector. Guidance The number of pupils who make use of the museums’ offer of guidance illustrates how the museums’ guidance offers work.

De nationale tal 100% 90% Result 97 % of the museums guide primary/lower secondary school pupils in connection with project work, but only 27 % guide more than 20 primary/lower secondary school pupils per year. The majority of the museums, i.e. 31 %, guide 1-5 primary/lower secondary school pupils per year. 74 % of the museums guide upper secondary school pupils in connection with project assignments. The majority of the museums, i.e. 44 %, guide 1-5 upper secondary school pupils per year. 20 % guide 6-20 pupils per year. 26 % of the museums do not guide pupils at the upper secondary level in connection with project work. Only 49 % of the museums guide students from vocational training colleges in connection with project work. 27 % guide 1-5 students from the vocational training colleges. 16 % guide 6-10 students and only 6 % annually guide more than 20 vocational training college students. 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 31% 30% 16% 10% 3% 0% 0 1-5 6-10 11-20 Mere end 20 elever Spørgsmål 17: Hvor mange elever fra GYMNASIALE UDDANNELSER modtager vejledning om året?

The project work form is used at all levels throughout the education system, and therefore it is rather conspicuous that so few pupils/ students receive guidance. There is great potential for development and improved quality of the guidance function at the museums. By developing the guidance function, the museums could make themselves more accessible as knowledge centres and alternative learning environments. Recommendation The Heritage Agency recommends that the museums develop and improve the quality of their guidance offers. In this connection, it might also be relevant for the museums to focus on study places and project rooms at the museums, as well as the possibility of giving students and pupils access to the museums’ digital databases. The development of guidance offers at the museums should take place in partnership with the educational institutions, and the museums should discuss development potential and share their experience in the professional networks for museum education. Geographic distribution of users Brugernes geografiske spredning The geographic distribution of users demonstrates the museums’ anchoring at municipal, regional and national levels and can be an incentive for focusing on attracting new user groups. Result For most of the museums, the questionnaire responses about the users’ geographical distribution across local (municipal), regional, national and international educational institutions are based on estimates. 66 % of the users of the museums’ educational offers come from local/municipal educational institutions. 22 % of the users come from educational institutions within the museums’ own region, and 10 % of the users come from educational institutions from other regions. 2 % of the users of the museums’ educational activities come from international educational institutions. A number of museums mention in the comment field that if the museums’ educational offers are to be accessible regionally and nationally, it is necessary to secure financial support for transport schemes, so that educational institutions can make use of educational offers in other areas of the country. 2% Lokale/kommunale brugere 10% Regionale brugere 22% Nationale brugere 66% Internationale brugere boundaries, and therefore, there is great potential for the museums’ educational offers to be used by educational institutions at a regional and national level. Access to the museums by means of public transport is of great importance to users from educational institutions and may be a barrier for the museums’ accessibility. Recommendation The Heritage Agency recommends that the museums use their professional networks to focus on how their educational offers can be made accessible to regional and national users, e.g. by making themselves known to regional and national users. Conclusion The vast majority of the users of the museums’ educational offers are local people. This illustrates the museums’ solid local anchoring and their great significance for the local community. However, the museums’ professional fields of responsibility are also relevant beyond local users of the museums’ educational activities 65 The museums’ partners This section shows which partners the museums collaborate with to develop their educational activities. The mapping focuses in particular on educational institutions, other museums and cultural institutions. The section also shows how the museums market their educational activities. Collaboration with educational institutions The collaboration between museums and educational institutions concerning development of the museums’ educational offers is essential when it comes to ensuring the relevance and quality of the museums’ educational activities. Collaboration creates mutual insight into how museums and educational institutions can supplement each other.

The distribution of the museums’ collaboration with educational institutions corresponds to the distribution of users from primary/lower secondary schools and upper secondary programmes.

The statistical material documents that some museums have established a good foundation for developing collaboration based on a relational and dialectic relationship between the museums and the educational institutions. If museum education is to constitute an academic supplement to educational institutions’ teaching, 70 the museums’ partners the museums need to take the educational institutions’ year objectives and curricula into account. These are the foundation for the educational institutions’ teaching. Similarly, the educational institutions need to know about the museum institution and its learning potential.

Recommendation It would be appropriate for the museums to focus on communication and collaboration with the educational institutions. The Heritage Agency recommends that the museums focus particularly on collaboration through which the museums’ educational offers are developed in relation to the educational institutions’ year objectives and curricula, so that they accommodate the needs of the educational institutions. Collaboration can also be used to develop the museums’ pupil/ student guidance in connection with projects and to develop work placement courses as well as job-switch schemes between educational staff at the museums and teachers at the educational institutions. 50% 37% 40% 30% 23% 26% 23% 23% 20% 11% 10% 0% Vi samarbejder ikke Grundskole Gymnasiale uddannelser Erhvervsuddannelse Læreruddannelse Universitet Andre Samarbejde mellem museer og uddannelsesinstitutioner Region Nordjylland 100% 90% 80% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 27% 20% 13% 13% Lærerudannelse Universitet 13% 10% 0% Vi samarbejder ikke Grundskole Gymnasiale uddannelser It would be appropriate for the museums to pay particular attention to establishing collaboration with the upper secondary schools and the vocational training colleges. the museums’ partners 71 Andre The museums state that collaboration between museums is local, regional, national and international (in Scandinavia and the rest of Europe), and that it cuts across the museum categories.

Result 46 % of the museums collaborate with other museums on the development of educational activities. The largest regional variation is the Capital Region of Denmark, where only 31 % of the museums collaborate, while in Region Zealand the figure is 63 %. In Region Northern Jutland, 53 % of the museums collaborate, while 49 % of the museums in Region Southern Denmark and 46 % in the Central Denmark Region collaborate. There is no significant difference between the museum categories in relation to inter-museum collaboration. 72 the museums’ partners Conclusion Almost half of the museums collaborate with each other on the development of educational activities, but the survey does not show how the museums collaborate. It is paradoxical that so few museums in the Capital Region of Denmark indicate that they collaborate considering that the region is the base for School Service Zealand, which is precisely a professional network for museum education. The results point to a need for a strengthening of the museums’ professional networks for museum education based on knowledge sharing and inter-museum collaboration. Increased collaboration between all museums could develop and assure the quality of the museums’ educational activities. I.e. educational activities that utilise the museums’ special frameworks to offer formal educational activities in informal learning environments. The museums’ collaboration could also help strengthen the theoretical and methodological foundation for their educational practice, creating consensus on terminology that describes their practice and learning potential. Recommendation The Heritage Agency recommends that the museums strengthen their collaboration on museum education through the professional networks for museum education. All national and governmentapproved museums should participate in the museums’ professional networks for museum education. Other partners The museums’ partners in connection with their educational activities may constitute an addition of professional competences and help create local anchoring.

In the Central Denmark Region, the figure is 46 %, in Region Southern Denmark, it is 37 %, in Region Northern Jutland, it is 27 %, and in the Capital Region of Denmark, the figure is 20 %. The Capital Region of Denmark is the region where the lowest percentage of museums collaborates with other partners. 37 % of the museums do not collaborate with others on the development of their educational activities. 31% 26% 20% Conclusion The museums have a large network of partners other than museums and educational institutions. This means that they are widely anchored in society, i.e. at a local/municipal level in relation to their educational activities.

In addition, the museums use professional journals, info pamphlets, school visits and a whole string of other methods to advertise their educational activities. Only 3 % of the museums do not market their educational offers. The largest geographical deviation is Region Northern Jutland, where only 40 % of the museums have material posted at e-museum. By comparison, 68 % of the museums in Region Zealand display material at e-museum. As regards the museum categories, the cultural history museums largely reflect the national figures. The art museums stand out positively in relation to all parameters. 72 % of the art museums use their own networks, and 75 % of the art museums use direct mail. All natural history museums make use of the museum’s website to market educational offers. Only 20 % of the natural history museums have material at e-museum, which is a negative deviation of 30 % against the national figures. On the other hand, 80 % of the 76 the museums’ partners natural history museums use other marketing channels, which is significantly more than the national average of 48 %. Conclusion The museums market their educational offers through many different channels. From a user’s perspective, it might be appropriate if there were one single place, where users could gain a general idea of the educational offers at the national and government-approved museums and of how to book these. However, the survey does not touch on the museums’ booking systems. According to the mapping, 53 % of the museums have their material posted on e-museum.dk. This is a national platform elaborated in collaboration between the Danish Ministry of Education and the Danish Ministry of Culture. The platform is found under the EMU, the Danish Ministry of Education’s website for digital educational resources available to teachers from primary/lower secondary schools, upper secondary programmes and teacher and educator programmes. Recommendation The Heritage Agency recommends that the museums’ professional networks for museum education join forces to develop a joint platform for presentation and marketing of the museums’ educational offers in close collaboration with the development of e-museum. In this connection, a sustainable solution needs to be found as to how information and material available at this platform should be continually updated to present current educational offers and materials. the museums’ partners 77 The museums’ strategic deliberations This section presents the museums’ strategic deliberations about how to strengthen their educational activities. It discusses the museums’ objectives, their strategies and finally, the museums’ proposals concerning how the Heritage Agency can help strengthen the museums’ educational activities. The questions have been answered in plain text, and general traits have been deducted from the answers. Objectives for educational activities The objective of the museums’ educational activities aimed at primary/lower secondary schools and upper secondary programmes is to strengthen the pupils’ cultural identity and to create social inclusion and an active sense of citizenship based on current year objectives and curricula. The museums’ educational offers are based on democracy and culture. Museum education takes its starting point in academic specialist knowledge and research in cultural and natural heritage within the individual museums’ areas of responsibility. This means the humanities, science and social sciences as well as history of science. The lessons are often problemorientated and include both theory and practice, where sensory experiences are an important part of the learning processes. Museum education also includes acquisition and sharpening of skills, knowledge and attitudes as well as the ability to reflect on different issues. It is learning aimed at creating change, development and a desire to learn more. The museums are knowledge centres and alternative learning environments, which con- stitute a supplement to the primary/lower secondary schools and upper secondary programmes. Workshop with upper secondary school pupils. Louisiana Museum of Museum categories Cultural history museums The objective of the museum education is that historical knowledge and an understanding of the past that puts the present and the future into perspective should be created based on the museums’ collections. The lessons place the museums’ collections in relevant contexts through e.g. practical exercises and role-play. Art museums The objective of the museum education is to create knowledge of art and social conditions in a historical perspective. The museums use artistic processes and methods as learning tools with an emphasis on interdisciplinarity. Museum education is intended to strengthen the pupils’/ students’ ability to analyse and reflect on art, design and architecture. Natural history museums The objective of the museum education is to the museums’ strategic deliberations 79 Modern Art, 2007 generate interest in science through practical exercises and interdisciplinary work based on science subject elements and research. Museum education is intended to strengthen the pupils’/ students’ ability to analyse and reflect on scientific issues. Many of the museums stress that the museums’ learning environments are able to accommodate pupils who have learning difficulties in the educational institutions’ formal learning environments. Similarly, the museums’ educational staff can serve as role models to the pupils due to their specialist knowledge and dedication. Conclusion Far from all of the museums have defined concrete objectives for their museum education. The museums’ objectives are individual and characterised by involvement. Often, it is the person responsible for education who phrases the objectives, which are not a part of the museums’ combined basic values. The objectives are primarily considered internal tools, and not all museums focus on educational offers relating to curricula, year objectives and subject matter didactics. Recommendation The museums should focus on defining concrete objectives for their educational activities so that these become a part of the museums’ dissemination strategies and relate to curricula, year objectives and subject matter didactics. All members of staff should be familiar with the objectives, which should also be accessible to users of the museums’ educational offers. 80 the museums’ strategic deliberations Development of educational activities and collaboration with educational institutions In general, educational activities are an important focus area for the museums. The museums indicate that finances and educational resources are the most important conditions for the quality of their educational activities. However, the museums are also looking for further training offers for their educational staff and for knowledge sharing through a stronger organisation of professional networks. The museums have a series of specific proposals as to how they would like to strengthen their educational activities, in terms of both quality and quantity. Strengthening of collaboration and partnerships The museums wish to strengthen collaboration and partnerships with other museums, primarily through upper secondary schools, colleges of education, universities and municipalities in order to develop and improve the quality of their educational activities. Permanent employment of staff The museums wish to employ more educational staff permanently and thus acquire more resources for quality assurance and development of their educational activities. Focus on curricula and year objectives The museums wish to focus more on the Ministry of Educations’ year objectives and curricula for primary/lower secondary schools and upper secondary programmes. Internal knowledge sharing and further training of staff The museums wish to work with their organisation and internal knowledge sharing in order to develop the museums’ learning environments and the academic quality of their educational activities. This would be achieved, among other initiatives, by having the people responsible for education participate in planning exhibitions and thus ensuring development of the museums’ learning potential. The museums also request further training of their educational staff in order for them to improve the quality of museum education and external collaboration. Professional networks The museums wish to participate in professional networks for museum education. Many museums mention School Service Zealand as an important prerequisite for collaboration across cultural institutions and for coordinated collaboration with educational institutions. Digital media The museums would like to develop their use of digital media in connection with their educational activities. This is relevant in connection with the development of specific educational courses and educational materials as well as in connection with the advertising of educational offers. Role-play and dramatised education The cultural history museums would like to develop their work with role-play and drama in their educational activities. Evaluation and research The museums wish to spend more resources on quantitative and qualitative evaluation of museum education. For instance, the museums would like to make more use of focus groups in order to develop and improve the quality of their educational activities. Several museums have experience in working with focus groups of pupils and teachers and consider focus groups an important tool in the development of high quality and relevant educational activities. A number of museums also plan to develop evaluation in relation to practice research in museum education. Museum mergers A number of museums are looking forward to mergers that will release and combine resources for a more professional development of the education area. The museums express that this may create new opportunities for them to apply for external pool funds and collaboration with other museums and educational institutions. Focus on public transport options The museums wish to focus on public transport and transport schemes for primary/lower secondary schools and upper secondary programmes that make it possible for users to make use of the museums’ educational offers throughout the country. the museums’ strategic deliberations 81 The museums’ proposals for the Heritage Agency • Demand for professionalisation of educational activities at museums The Heritage Agency could place demands on the museums to improve the quality of the education departments at the museums on line with the demands placed on the museums by the Heritage Agency concerning research, storage conditions and registration of their collections. • Support for evaluation practice and research The Heritage Agency could support the creation of a research centre for museum education and evaluation (maybe with inspiration from the Museum Education and Evaluation Consultant in Leicester, England). The Agency could continue to allocate pool funds for research in museum education and evaluation of digital learning projects. • Pool funds for the development of educational projects The Heritage Agency could decide to let the e-museum fund and the dissemination funds continue. • Support for qualifying further training The Heritage Agency could support the establishment of further training in museum pedagogy. Many museums require further training for their staff, in order to strengthen theoretical and methodological competences. 82 the museums’ strategic deliberations • Strengthen the international perspective The Heritage Agency could strengthen Danish museums’ participation in international networks, e.g. by allocating pool funds to international museum education projects. •Establishment of a national professional network for museum education The Heritage Agency could support the establishment of professional networks for museum education to be based on inter museum collaboration and on collaboration between museums and educational institutions. •Inter-ministerial anchoring of the museums’ educational activities The Heritage Agency could support the development of museum education by contributing to the anchoring of museum education in collaboration between the Danish Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Culture. • Publication about museum education The Heritage Agency could collaborate with the Ministry of Education to issue a publication that would provide inspiration as to how educational institutions can use the museums in their educational activities. The exhibitions at the old family farm, Skarregaard, set the thoughts in motion. The Historical Museum of Morsland, 2004 Conclusions to the national results Below follows a summary of the report’s conclusions. The museums’ educational activities Educational offers Education is an integrated part of the museums’ practice. This means that by far the majority of the museums have permanent educational offers with defined academic content within their areas of responsibility. Target groups The educational offers are primarily aimed at primary/lower secondary schools, in particular the older classes, while only 60 % of the museums offer education to the schools at upper secondary level, including vocational training colleges. Subjects and academic competences The museums’ knowledge and educational activities supplement core academic competences in primary/lower secondary schools and upper secondary programmes. The mapping documents that the museums’ educational offers accommodate practically all subjects and academic competences in primary/lower secondary schools and upper secondary programmes. Most of the educational offers at the museums are directed at the subjects of history, Danish, social studies, visual arts, nature/technology and RE. The museums’ educational offers are characterised by being both multi-disciplinary and cross-disciplinary. For instance, the science subjects are represented to 84 conclusions to the national results a very high degree in the museums’ educational offers despite the fact that there are only five government-approved natural history museums in Denmark. Educational objectives Many museums are aware of teaching objectives and curricula, but only 15 % consistently take year objectives and curricula into account when they plan their educational offers. Where do lessons take place? Lessons primarily take place in the museums’ permanent collection exhibitions and in their special exhibitions. They are based on objects, works or specimens depending on the museum category. It is characteristic of the museum education that it has both material and immaterial cultural and natural heritage as its subject matter. At many museums, experiments and practical exercises are included in the lessons. Educational material Educational material – printed or digital – is a central part of the museums’ educational activities. However, far from all of the museums’ educational offers include educational material. In this area, there is a great development potential – especially in the digital part. The material can help anchor museum education and the knowledge offered by the museums. The educational mate- rial can be included as part of the examination requirements and thus legitimise the priority given to museum education by the educational institutions. Evaluation The museums do not systematically evaluate their educational activities. The mapping shows that one third of the museums do not evaluate their educational activities. It is characteristic of the museums that use evaluations that it is precisely via the evaluation processes and the dialogue with the users that they develop and improve the quality of their educational activities. Therefore, focusing on the development of the museums’ evaluation practice is an essential prerequisite for developing and assuring the quality of the museums’ educational activities and their collaboration with educational institutions. Guidance 78 % of the museums offer guidance in connection with project assignments to pupils from primary/lower secondary schools and upper secondary programmes, and also to student teachers and university students. The survey does not look at how the museums carry out guidance in practice. Work placement schemes 71 % of the museums have work placement schemes. 50 % of the museums have work placement schemes for university students, whilst 30 % have work placement schemes for student teachers. Work placement schemes for university students and student teachers can be a beneficial collabora- tion form through which museums gain inspiration and new knowledge that may help develop and improve the quality of their educational offers. They also provide future teachers with an insight into how the museums’ educational offers can supplement teaching in primary/lower secondary schools and upper secondary programmes. Work placement schemes are an important tool in terms of ensuring continual collaboration and knowledge sharing between museums and educational institutions. Offers for teachers Teachers are the ones who take the initiative to use the museums’ educational offers, and therefore, they are a central target group for the museums. In general, offers for teachers are of high priority to the museums. 63 % of the museums give very high priority to this task. Courses for teachers and newsletters are the most commonly used tools for facilitation of teachers, but the museums have many different offers. However, there is still a group of museums with no offers aimed at teachers, and a large number of museums indicate that their initiatives have not been successful. The museums’ educational resources People responsible for teaching 90 % of the museums have a person who is responsible for education, but there are no established standards concerning which member of staff undertakes the task. In some cases, it is the museum manager or a dissemination director who holds the responsibility for education, and in conclusions to the national results 85 other cases, the person responsible is not even employed by the museum. There is no consensus as to the title given to the people responsible for education at the museums. The lacking consensus on terminology also applies to the members of staff who handle education at the museums. They are referred to as communicators, tour guides, educational employees, teachers, school service staff etc. Educational staff The museums have many members of staff involved in their educational activities, but there is a great variation in their background and association with the museums. They include full-time staff, part-time staff, freelance staff and volunteers. 52 % of the museums have more than four staff members involved in educational activities. Permanent staff The permanent staff are involved in educational activities at the museums, but education is often one of many general functions handled by the staff. 24 % have one permanent employee, 25 % have three permanent employees, and 23 % have more than four permanent staff members handling museum education. Freelance staff 46 % of the museums make use of freelance workers, and these are distributed across all regions and museum categories. One of the reasons for this is that the demand for education at some museums varies a lot depending on the seasons and special exhibitions. Tradition and the museums’ finances also affect the terms and conditions for staff employment. 86 conclusions to the national results Voluntary unsalaried staff One third of the museums have voluntary, unsalaried staff associated with their educational activities. Of these, 17 % have more than four people who volunteer in the museum education. The voluntary workforce constitutes an important resource for the museums. The cultural history museums in particular have a large number of volunteers assisting in their educational activities. Student staff members 39 % of the museums have students employed to handle education. 17 % of the museums have more than four students. The museums’ use of student staff varies greatly across the different regions. The Capital Region of Denmark in particular has many student staff involved in the museums’ educational activities. Fully qualified staff Almost all of the museums have fully qualified staff who handle education, but their number and the amount of time they dedicate to educationrelated work vary greatly. All museums have qualified educational staff. 70 % have between one and four qualified members of staff, and 29 % have more than four fully qualified staff members associated with their educational activities. Educational competences The staff who handle education at the museums have very different backgrounds and qualifications. They include people with Master’s degrees from the humanities, social sciences and science faculties, qualified teachers, artists trained at the academies of art, people trained as conservators, people with training as educators, craftsmen and students from universities, schools of art and colleges of education. The museums have at their disposal highly specialised competences within academic and cross-disciplinary theory, practical and artistic subjects, crafts and education. The museums’ cross-disciplinary groups of staff constitute a great potential and a prerequisite for the complex learning processes that the museums can offer. However, the great variety in staff members’ competences and association with the museums also places great demands on internal knowledge sharing at the museums. Use of resources The priority given to education varies a lot depending on the museums’ size and finances. The greatest expense is related to the practical conducting of educational activities. In contrast, the amount of resources the museums allocate to the planning, development and evaluation of their educational activities varies greatly. If no evaluation or quality assurance of the museums’ educational activities are carried out, there may be a risk that the educational activities are not related to the museums’ areas of responsibility and research and that they have no academic relevance to the educational institutions. There are also cases where the staff who handle education at the museums do not have the necessary educational competences. Facilities The physical frameworks for the museums’ educational activities are primarily exhibitions of objects, works or specimens, depending on the museum category. Many museums also include workshop facilities, laboratories and lecture halls in connection with practical and experimental exercises. The priority given by the museums to the area of education means that 73 % of the museums have eating areas where pupils can sit and eat their packed lunches. Tools and materials 63 % of the museums use drawing as an educational tool, while 37 % use IT equipment, and 22 and 23 % use cameras and videos, respectively, in connection with education. Only very few museums use mobile phones, MP3 players and PDAs in their educational activities, but this use is greatly on the increase at the museums at the moment. The museums’ use of tools and materials vary a lot. The museums’ professional fields of responsibility, physical frameworks and the priority they give to the area of education affect the choice of tools and materials that are included in their educational activities. Users of the museums’ educational activities Primary and lower secondary schools The number of classes from primary/lower secondary schools who receive education at the museums varies a lot, but 61 % of the museums have conclusions to the national results 87 more than 50 classes per year, while 25 % have between 21 and 50 classes per year from primary/ lower secondary schools. Upper secondary schools Only very few classes from upper secondary schools make use of the museums’ educational offers. Among the 60 % of the museums that offer education to upper secondary schools, the largest group of museums have between 1 and 10 classes per year. Only 9 % of the museums have more than 50 upper secondary school classes per year, and 14 % of the museums do not have any upper secondary school classes receiving education. It is paradoxical that so few upper secondary school classes make use of the museums’ educational offers, considering the professional specialist knowledge offered by the museums. This is an area of great development potential, on which it would be worth focusing particular efforts. Vocational training colleges The number of classes from vocational training colleges that make use of the museums’ educational offers is very limited. 29 % of the museums do not have any vocational training college classes at all; 44 % have 1-5 classes, 18 % have between 6 and 20 classes, 4 % have 21-50 classes, while 5 % state that they receive more than 50 classes per year. The mapping’s results also indicate that it would make sense for the museums to focus particularly on developing educational offers aimed at classes from vocational training colleges. 88 conclusions to the national results Colleges of education Only very few classes of student teachers make use of the museums’ educational offers. 35 % of the museums have no classes from colleges of education, and only 3 % have more than 50 classes per year. Educational offers aimed at student teachers are an introduction to museum education and can contribute to strengthening collaboration between primary/lower secondary schools and museums and thus increase the primary/lower secondary schools’ use of the museums’ educational activities. Other user groups In general, museum education is used by the entire education sector and also by all other target groups that make use of the museums. The questionnaire responses show that the museums’ educational activities have a great synergy effect on the museums’ other dissemination. Therefore, the quality and the degree of professionalisation of the museums’ educational activities are also decisive for the quality of the museums’ overall dissemination. Guidance in connection with project work The number of pupils/students who make use of the museums’ offers of guidance in connection with project work is very limited despite the fact that 78 % of the museums offer guidance to pupils/students in connection with project work. Only 27 % of the museums have more than 20 primary/lower secondary school pupils per year, while 31 % have between 1 and 5 primary/lower secondary school pupils per year. The rest have no pupils from this target group. 44 % of the museums have between 1 and 5 upper secondary school pupils per year, 10 % have more than 20 pupils per year, and 26 % do not have any pupils form upper secondary schools receiving guidance in connection with project work. 6 % of the museums have more than 20 pupils from vocational training colleges receiving guidance. 51 % do not provide guidance for pupils from vocational training colleges. 44 % of the museums provide guidance for 1-5 pupils from other educational programmes per year. These include student teachers, students from VUC (adult training centres), high schools, schools of art and university students. The project work form is used at all levels throughout the education system, and therefore it is rather conspicuous that so few pupils/students receive guidance. There is great potential for development and improved quality of the guidance function at the museums. Geographic distribution of users By far the majority of the museum users are local/ from the municipality. On average, 66 % of the museums’ users are local/municipal educational institutions, while the national average for regional users is 22 % and the average number of national users of educational offers at the museums is 10 %, and 2 % of the users of the museums’ educational activities are international educational institutions. The museums are solidly anchored locally and thus have great significance for the local communities. Only very few museums have a significant number of national users of their educational activities. The museums’ accessibility by means of public transport plays a decisive role for users of the museums’ educational offers. The museums’ partners Collaboration with educational institutions The vast majority of the museums collaborate with educational institutions on the development of their educational activities. A total of 83 % of the museums collaborate with educational institutions on the development of their education. 67 % collaborate with primary/lower secondary schools, 27 % collaborate with upper secondary schools, while only 9 % collaborate with vocational training colleges. 20 % collaborate with colleges of education. 19 % collaborate with universities on the development of educational activities. 33 % are in collaboration with other educational institutions. The primary/lower secondary schools are the museums’ primary partners as regards development of educational activities. However, the upper secondary schools, vocational training colleges, colleges of education and universities are also important partners in the development of the museums’ educational activities. If museum education is to constitute an academic supplement to educational institutions’ teaching, it is important that the museums know and take the educational institutions’ year objectives conclusions to the national results 89 and curricula into account as the basis for their museum education. Conversely, it is also essential that the educational institutions are aware of the museum institutions and their learning potential. Therefore, collaboration between museums and educational institutions is necessary as a basis for the development of relevant high quality educational activities at the museums. Collaboration between museums 46 % of the museums collaborate with other museums on the development of their educational activities. Strengthened collaboration between national and government-approved museums may serve to develop and assure the quality of the museums’ educational activities. I.e. educational activities that utilise the museums’ special frameworks to offer formal educational activities in informal learning environments. It may also be appropriate for museums to focus on developing educational activities that supplement each other. Other partners 38 % of the museums collaborate with public institutions (municipal centres of education, consultants and children’s culture consultants), and 37 % collaborate with cultural institutions other than museums (libraries, theatres, centres of contemporary art, archives and science centres etc.). 22 % collaborate with associations and about 13 % collaborate with private companies. 37 % state that they collaborate with others, e.g. interest groups and volunteers from various industries. 90 conclusions to the national results The mapping documents that the museums have a large network of external partners and a wide local/municipal anchoring in relation to their educational activities. The wide collaboration is a good foundation for developing high quality and relevant educational activities and creating a sense of ownership for the museums. The survey does not review the scope of the collaboration or how the museums collaborate with external partners. Marketing of educational activities The museums market their educational offers through many different channels. 95 % of the museums use their own websites to market their educational offers. 63 % use their own networks, and half of the museums use direct mail or emuesum.dk in their marketing. 31 % use School Service Zealand’s website, skoletjenesten.dk. In addition, the museums use professional journals, info pamphlets, school visits and a whole string of other methods to advertise their educational activities. The primary channels of communication are the museums’ own websites and the individual museum’s own network. At the time the mapping was carried out, half of the museums had material posted at www.e-museum.dk. It is essential to the users of the museums’ educational activities that there is one place where the users can get a general overview of the educational offers at the museums, and where they can find instructions on how to book educational at the museums. Conclusions for museum categories Cultural history museums The cultural history museums account for 98 of the 143 responses from the 130 museums questioned. This means that the national figures to a high degree are close to the results for the cultural history museums. Educational activities The cultural history museums’ educational offers are primarily aimed at the subjects of history, social studies, Danish, nature/technology, RE, visual arts and drama. The educational offers may also be directed at the subjects of biology and physics. The educational offers at the cultural history museums are always multi-disciplinary and cross-disciplinary. Education at the cultural history museums take place in the context of special exhibitions and permanent collections, but often also in the cultural and urban landscapes. All of the cultural history museums in the category have educational offers for the middle years of primary/lower secondary school. This may be because history is a compulsory subject at this stage of primary/lower secondary school. In comparison to the other museum categories, the cultural history museums have less educational offers aimed at upper secondary schools and vocational training colleges. The cultural history museums also have fewer offers aimed at teachers than the other museum categories. Staff resources Among the cultural history museums, 52 % have more than four people handling education. Of these, 25 % of the cultural history museums have more than four permanent staff members. 33 % of the cultural history museums have students employed to handle education; this is less than the other museum categories. 40 % of the cultural history museums have freelance co-workers, and 46 % of the cultural history museums have voluntary workers associated with their educational activities. This means that this group has far the largest number of volunteers as compared with the other museum categories. The people who handle education at the cultural history museums are primarily academic employees and qualified teachers. The subjects most commonly represented among the academic employees at the cultural history museums are history, prehistoric archaeology, medieval archaeology, European ethnology and anthropology. Users of the cultural history museums’ educational activities The cultural history museums have fewer classes using their educational offers than other museum categories. 57 % of the cultural history museums have more than 50 classes per year from primary/ lower secondary schools. conclusions for museum categories 91 20 % of the cultural history museums have no classes from upper secondary schools, and 64 % have 1-10 classes per year. Art museums 45 % of the cultural history museums have 1-5 classes per year from vocational training colleges, and 36 % do not have any classes from this target group. Educational activities The art museums’ educational offers are primarily aimed at the subjects of Danish and visual arts as well as history, RE, social studies, philosophy, media subjects, music and drama, but they may also be aimed at maths, nature/technology and PE. The art museums are the category that has the largest number of educational offers for primary/ lower secondary schools, upper secondary programmes and colleges of education. Almost half of the cultural history museums do not have any classes of student teachers participating in educational activities. Partners Both among the cultural history museums and among the art museums, 67 % collaborate with primary/lower secondary schools, which reflects the national figures. 23 % of the cultural history museums collaborate with an upper secondary school. When it comes to vocational training colleges, only 7 % of the cultural history museums are involved in collaboration. 19 % of the cultural history museums collaborate with colleges of education, and 13 % of the cultural history museums collaborate with universities on the development of educational activities, which is a lower percentage than the other museum categories. Furthermore, 31 % of the cultural history museums collaborate with other educational institutions. The art museums make up 37 of the 143 responses from the 130 museums questioned in the survey. The art museums also have the largest percentage of museums with offers aimed at teachers. Staff resources 44 % of the art museums have more than four staff members handling education. 42 % of the art museums only have one permanent staff member working with education. A large number of the educational staff are freelancers or students. 56 % of the art museums have freelance staff working with education, and thus, the art museums are the category that has most freelance staff. 50 % of the art museums have students employed to work with education. 14 % of the art museums have volunteers working with education. The art museums have far less volunteers than the cultural history museums. 92 conclusions for museum categories As a whole, the art museums have less educational staff members than the other museum categories. The art museums are the museum category that has the lowest number of qualified staff. At 31 % of the art museums, only one staff member with a completed education works with education. The employees who handle education at the art museums are academic staff members and qualified teachers. Among the academic staff members who handle education, the subjects that are most frequently represented are modern culture and culture dissemination, Danish and literary history. Users of the art museums’ educational activities The art museums are the museum category that has the largest number of users from primary/ lower secondary school, upper secondary programmes and colleges of education. Partners 67 % of the art museums collaborate with primary/lower secondary schools, which corresponds to the national figures. 36 % of the art museums collaborate with an upper secondary school. 11 % of the art museums collaborate with vocational training colleges. 17 % of the art museums collaborate with colleges of education, and 31 % of the art museums collaborate with universities on the development of educational activities. Furthermore, 42 % of the art museums collaborate with other educational institutions. Marketing The art museums stand out in a positive way as regards all parameters in relation to their marketing of educational activities. For instance, 72 % of the art museums use their own teachers’ networks, and 75 % of the art museums use direct mail. 67 % of the art museums have more than 50 classes per year from primary/lower secondary schools, while 31 % of the art museums have between 21 and 50 classes, and 19 % have more than 50 classes per year from upper secondary schools. 34 % of the art museums have between 6 and 20 classes per year from vocational training colleges. Among the art museums, 75 % have 1-10 classes of student teachers receiving teaching per year. conclusions for museum categories 93 Natural history museums The natural history museums make up 5 of the 143 responses from the 130 museums questioned in the survey. Educational activities The natural history museums’ educational offers are primarily aimed at the science subjects: nature/technology as well as the subjects of biology and physics. However, they also address a number of humanities’ and social sciences’ subjects, e.g. history, Danish, social studies, RE, visual arts and drama. Staff resources In comparison to the other museums, the natural history museums have more educational staff. 80 % have more than four staff members handling education. The natural history museums do not have any volunteers working with education. 60 % have three permanent staff members working with education. 40 % of the natural history museums have freelance co-workers, and 80 % have students working with education. At the natural history museums, the hired educational staff primarily have scientific qualifications. Facilities in connection with education The natural history museums’ use of facilities in connection with educational activities differs from practice at the other museum categories, as 80 % use a classroom and 60 % use laboratories in their educational activities. 94 conclusions for museum categories Users of the natural history museums’ educationalactivities All of the natural history museums have more than 50 classes per year from primary/lower secondary schools, while 75 % of the museums have 1-10 upper secondary school classes receiving education per year. At the natural history museums, 80 % have between 1 and 5 classes per year from vocational training colleges. 80 % of the natural history museums have 1-10 classes of student teachers receiving education per year. Partners All natural history museums develop their educational offers in collaboration with other educational institutions. 60 % collaborate with primary/ lower secondary schools; 40 % collaborate with colleges of education, and 40 % collaborate with universities. Only 20 % of the natural history museums collaborate with upper secondary schools, and 20 % collaborate with vocational training colleges. This means that one out of the five natural history museums collaborates with upper secondary schools and vocational training colleges. Marketing All natural history museums use the museum’s website to market educational offers, but only 20 % of the natural history museums have material posted at e-museum; 80 % of the natural history museums use other marketing channels. Conclusions about regional differences Capital Region of Demark The Capital Region of Denmark’s results are based on 37 responses from national or governmentapproved museums. Educational activities In comparison to museums from other regions, more museums in the Capital Region of Denmark take concrete curricula and year objectives into account when they plan their educational activities. 48 % of the museums in this region have special work placement courses for student teachers and university students, which is 14 % more than the national average and more than all of the other regions. However, there are fewer museums than in the other regions that offer guidance to pupils and students in connection with project work. Staff resources In the Capital Region of Denmark, approx. 60 % of the museums have more than four staff members handling education. The educational staff constitute the largest number of freelancers and students among the regions’ educational staff. 66 % of the museums have freelance co-workers. 74 % of the museums have students associated with their educational activities. 11 % of the region’s museums do not have any permanent staff members working with education. At 37 % of the museums, there is only one qualified staff member working with education, and only 23 % of the museums have more than four qualified staff members working with educa- tion. This is significantly less qualified staff members than in the rest of the country. This is mainly because of School Service Zealand. It is often part-time student staff who handle educational activities at the museums that have collaboration agreements with School Service Zealand. Physical facilities As regards physical facilities, the Capital Region of Denmark stands out negatively, as only 3 % of the museums make study places available to pupils and students. Users of educational activities The Capital Region of Denmark receives most classes from both primary/lower secondary schools and upper secondary programmes as participants in educational offers. 69 % of the museums in the Capital Region of Denmark have more than 50 classes from primary/lower secondary schools per year who participate in educational activities, and 29 % of the museums have more than 50 upper secondary school classes per year, while 11 % of the museums have more than 50 classes annually from vocational training colleges who participate in educational activities. Partners When it comes to development of educational offers, the museums in the Capital Region of Denmark collaborate with educational institutions, with each other or with partners other than museums in the other regions. conclusions about regional differences 95 In the Capital Region of Denmark, 51 % of the museums collaborate with primary/lower secondary schools, and 29 % collaborate with upper secondary schools. 11 % of the museums in the Capital Region of Denmark collaborate with vocational training colleges, and 14 % of the museums collaborate with a college of education. 11 % of the museums in the Capital Region of Denmark collaborate with a university. In the Capital Region of Denmark, 29 % of the museums do not collaborate with an educational institution, and 37 % of the region’s museums do not collaborate with others about the development of educational activities. Region Zealand Region Zealand’s results are based on 19 responses from government-approved museums. Staff resources Region Zealand has more staff associated with museum education than the national average. In Region Zealand, Region Northern Jutland and the Capital Region of Denmark, approx. 60 % of the museums have more than four staff members handling education. Facilities Out of Region Zealand’s museums, 5 % have study places, which is significantly below the national average. Users of teaching activities In Region Zealand, 58 % of the museums have 1-5 96 conclusions about regional differences classes per year from vocational training colleges, while 16 % have 6-10 classes; the remaining museums do not receive any classes from vocational training colleges. In comparison with the other regions, Region Zealand receives relatively few classes of student teachers. Partners In Region Zealand, 68 % of the museums collaborate with primary/lower secondary schools, while only 11 % of the museums in Region Zealand collaborate with upper secondary schools, and only 5 % of the museums in Region Zealand collaborate with vocational training colleges. Region Zealand has the highest percentage of museums collaborating with colleges of education, i.e. 26 % of the museums.

The educational activities are based on the museums’ areas of responsibility and research in the field of cultural and natural heritage and correspond to the educational institutions’ core areas. The educational activities at the museums are cross-disciplinary and include a wide variety of learning forms, which are characterised by being problem-orientated and practice-related. Therefore, museum education can constitute a significant supplement to the educational institutions’ teaching. The purpose of the survey is to review how the museums understand and practise education and to highlight the challenges that the museums face in relation to professional administration of their learning potential in the 21st century knowledge society.
