In Principle, in Practice: Museums as Learning Institutions

by John H. Falk (Editor), Lynn D. Dierking (Editor), Susan Foutz (Editor)

The science museum field has made tremendous advances in understanding museum learning, but little has been done to consolidate and synethesize these findings to encourage widespread improvements in practice. By clearly presenting the most current knowledge of museum learning, In Principle, In Practice aims to promote effective programs and exhibitions, identify promising approaches for future research, and develop strategies for implementing and sustaining connections between research and practice in the museum community.
