00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:21,890
This summer course is intended for primary teachers and its purpose is to use artistic

2
00:00:21,890 --> 00:00:28,129
representations and artifacts into the classroom. The course will explore how to integrate them

3
00:00:28,129 --> 00:00:34,649
with the various inquiry-based teaching strategies and curriculum content development. It will provide

4
00:00:34,649 --> 00:00:40,049
regionally based ideas for in-gallery museum education and in-class teaching.

5
00:00:40,049 --> 00:00:46,350
The laid-out of the course will include daily museum visits and daily seminars

6
00:00:46,350 --> 00:00:50,729
in which the development of visual and critical thinking strategies through

7
00:00:50,729 --> 00:00:55,289
meaningful object-based learning activities and peer-to-peer discussions

8
00:00:55,289 --> 00:00:59,850
will take place. It will encourage critical thinking to connect skills

9
00:00:59,850 --> 00:01:05,730
across a wide variety of curricula. During the daily visits museums will

10
00:01:05,730 --> 00:01:11,310
become the place that contains the answers to a set of proposed clues. The aim is

11
00:01:11,310 --> 00:01:17,349
to use the museum as exploration field on a given topic. The museum then will

12
00:01:17,349 --> 00:01:29,290
become a very useful prime resource. It is, above all, a hands-on course.
