Question: "Museums are not warehouses of old things; they are institutions in which documents and objects are treasured about the evolutionary processes of humanity, through from its collections you can learn about the history of the locality, and the world. In the same way, these are- educational activities that can be carried out both in their rooms and in spaces bringing knowledge closer to the students" Referring to the statement mentioned above how can museums be brought closer to students who are placed in disadvantaged schools in both rural and local communities? Please include in-text citation APA 7th style
Museums can be brought closer to students in disadvantaged schools in multiple ways. These include incorporating virtual tours, conducting educational outreach programs, organizing 'museum-on-the-go' exhibits, and facilitating symbiotic relationships with schools for constant engagement (Bell, 2013). Virtual tours allow students to explore museums without the constraints of geography and time. With advanced technology, museums should afford virtual tours that are both interactive and immersive to continuously engage students (Pekarik & Schreiber, 2012). Conducting educational outreach programs, meanwhile, can reach students directly in their schools or communities. These programs could cover lectures, workshops, and hands-on activities, tapping into museum resources to enrich the school curriculum (Marandino, 2019). The concept of 'museum-on-the-go' exhibits can also be effective. Portable exhibits or mini museums can be taken to schools, providing students with an opportunity to experience a museum's collection firsthand without leaving their premises (Kisiel, 2014). Finally, museums should facilitate symbiotic relationships with these disadvantaged schools where the schools can benefit from the resources of the museums and vice versa. This relationship can also extend to creating programs in line with the school curriculum to further enrich the educational experience of the students (Bell, 2013). References: Bell, J. (2013).
