to visit the museum? |
Conclusion: Despite their preference for loans over visits, 55% (11) of
20 teachers said that the loans do encourage them to visit the museum. 30% (6) said that
the loans did not encourage them to visit the museum but did not prevent most of them
visiting either. 15% of the teachers said that a visit would not be an option making the
question redundant.
Summary of findings:
20 teachers were asked this question. These are their responses.
- · 55% (11) of the teachers said that the loans do encourage them to visit the museum.
These are some of their quotes:
1. I know some children have visited the museum after using the loans - and not
just Reading museum but other museums too. It definitely encourages me to want to come -
especially with the Roman loans, to come and see more mosaics, etc.
2. They give us an idea of what's over there.
3. The information that you sent also made me want to visit the museum. I am really into
museums though. I can pass that interest on to the children also.
4. I would like to see more.
5. They have encouraged me to think about taking them.
6. Yes, it makes me want to go to a museum - like the one based in Newbury.
- · 30% (6) of the teachers said that the loans did not encourage them to visit the
museum. Many added that the loans did not prevent them visiting either. These are some of
their quotes:
1. It doesn't prevent us coming either.
2. But they don't prevent me visiting either.
3. It wouldn't prevent either - not one way or another.
4. Not particularly. It doesn't prevent me making visits either. It is a whole different
experience. Going to a museum is about building the desire to see those sorts of things
and to create lifetime habits. Loans are a different way of doing it.
- · 15% (3) of the teachers said that a visit would not be an option making the question
redundant. These are some of their quotes:
1. Neither. The children are not aware of the museum. The teachers are probably
encouraged to visit but it is a matter of where you live.
2. There is no connection either way - they don't prevent or encourage because the Head
won't let the teachers go out - their place is in the classroom!
3. There are too many barriers anyway. For me, I am London-based so it is not likely. In
London there are lots of museums. Colleagues have been to the museum to pick up
information on the Bayeux tapestry. A lot of the children don't go outside the parish
boundaries. They may go to Pakistan but they don't know London. |
