Annotation
The course combines pedagogical-psychological and professional preparation of students and creates a theoretical background for the development of their own didactic thinking and application in practice. Attention is paid to the general principles of cultural heritage interpretation as well as to specific aspects of museum, gallery and heritage education (actors, content, goals, means) in the context of contemporary theories of education.
The course draws mainly on pedagogical constructivism and experiential reflective learning, but the starting points are also the research conclusions of museum, gallery and heritage education, respectively examples of good practice from CR and abroad. Emphasis is placed on the cooperation of cultural institutions with the formal education sector.
