| Teacher Interview: Question 6: Would you be interested in
ordering mini-exhibitions for display from the loan service? |
Conclusion: 90% (18) of 20 teachers were amenable to the idea of a
mini-exhibition loan. One of the teachers said the question was non-applicable as they
were not responsible for display. While another teacher would not order a mini-exhibition
for display because of school vandalism. This highlights the need for some consideration
for security in future loan designs.
Summary of findings:
20 teachers were asked this question. These are their responses.
- · 90% (18) of the teachers said "yes", they would be interested in ordering a
mini-exhibition for display from the loan service.
- · 5% (1) of the non-user teachers said "no", they would not be interested in
ordering a mini-exhibition for display from the loan service. This is because: "There
are even break-ins in the office area".
- · One teacher (5%) said that he was not responsible for display and therefore the
questions was N/A.

| Teacher Interview: Question 6: Individual Answers: |
Key: A "user" is a school that already uses the loan service. A
"non-user" is a school that does not currently use the loan service.
1. Teacher A: User: Primary
Would you be interested in ordering mini-exhibitions for displays from the loan service?
Yes
If more was available, we would use it. It may be helpful.
2. Teacher B: User: Primary
Would you be interested in ordering mini-exhibitions for displays from the loan
service?
Yes
Quite interested. Some of the loans we have now are on display under perspex but we
did not use them today because they did not fulfil the aims of the lesson. This involved
the children having an artefact between two which they could turn in their hands and
explore. We have had the Tudor ship and models of a man and woman before. We did a lot of
sketching from these in Art.
3. Teacher C: User: Primary
Would you be interested in ordering mini-exhibitions for displays from the loan service?
Yes
4. Teacher D: User: Primary
Would you be interested in ordering mini-exhibitions for displays from the loan service?
Yes
5. Teacher E: User: Primary
Would you be interested in ordering mini-exhibitions for displays from the loan service?
Yes
6. Teacher F: User: Primary
Would you be interested in ordering mini-exhibitions for displays from the loan service?
Yes
Although hesitant. For the school this would be interesting but wouldn't want the
responsibility. Some children don't know how to treat objects.
7. Teacher G: User: Primary
Would you be interested in ordering mini-exhibitions for displays from the loan service?
Yes
We are already using the loans for a special display in the library. It is being
developed into a research area.
8. Teacher H: User: Primary
Would you be interested in ordering mini-exhibitions for displays from the loan
service?
Yes
9. Teacher I: User: Primary
Would you be interested in ordering mini-exhibitions for displays from the loan service?
Yes
Why not!
10. Teacher M: Non-user: Primary
Would you be interested in ordering mini-exhibitions for displays from the loan service?
Yes
11. Teacher N: Non-user: Primary
Would you be interested in ordering mini-exhibitions for displays from the loan service?
Yes
It is important that children see something "in the flesh". The more
relevant the object, the better. For some the gull was spooky but for others seeing the
gull generated their own questions - especially with children with behavioural problems.
They behaved better when they could see it.
12. Teacher O: Non-user: Primary
Would you be interested in ordering mini-exhibitions for displays from the loan service?
Yes
Very interested.
13. Teacher P: Non-user: Primary
Would you be interested in ordering mini-exhibitions for displays from the loan
service?
Yes
14. Teacher Q: User: Secondary
Would you be interested in ordering mini-exhibitions for displays from the loan service?
Yes
Absolutely!
15. Teacher R: User: Secondary
Would you be interested in ordering mini-exhibitions for displays from the loan service?
Yes
16. Teacher S: User: Secondary
Would you be interested in ordering mini-exhibitions for displays from the loan service?
Yes
If the museum was happy with the safety aspect.
17. Teacher V: Non-user: Secondary
Would you be interested in ordering mini-exhibitions for displays from the loan service?
The head has appointed someone to do display around the school. You would have to ask
them about it. (I asked if the person appointed was a designer). No, they are not a
designer.
18. Teacher W: Non-user: Secondary
Would you be interested in ordering mini-exhibitions for displays from the loan service?
Yes
Yes, because the children have a limited experience of museums. It would be like
having a little bit of museum in the classroom. A display relating to: the Home
Front/WWII; Medieval Realms; the Romans; the Tudors and Stuarts or the Industrial
Revolution would be most relevant.
19. Teacher X: Non-user: Secondary
Would you be interested in ordering mini-exhibitions for displays from the loan
service?
No
No. There are even break-ins in the office area.
20. Teacher Y: Non-user: Secondary
Would you be interested in ordering mini-exhibitions for displays from the loans service?
Yes
