Abstract
In science education not enough attention is paid to museum didactics. It's a problem in practical teaching and teacher training, too.
Many pupils and students in secondary education do not like science and chemistry, too, and museums can help make it more attractive for them. We are not used to this potential of museums, although actual curricular policy offers a lot of options for including them in school education program.
The main goal of the dissertation project which is interested in museum didactics is to analyze the possibilities and limits of the use of museum exhibits in the teaching of chemistry as a general educational subject at secondary schools. In the first phase of the research, a literature search was realized.
The search is focused on museum didactics and a science and especially chemical education. Specialized publications of domestic and foreign authors over the last twenty years are selected.
These specialized publications are registered in databases Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, National Library Catalogue of Czech Republic and Theses. Thirty-seven publications are selected from the literature search.
These publications will be used for content analyses in the next step. The results of the content analyses will be used for determination to the research design of the dissertation project.
