The educational framework of a museum establishes the direction of public programmes
and reflects its commitment to offer unique learning opportunities for various target
groups. It provides structure of resources, roles. responsibilities and initiatives. It reflects
the complexity of le없피ng throu양1 objects in informal setting and the need for a fluid and
evolving approach to learning in museums. It continually seeks to understand its
audienæs and finds out new and better ways of learning.
The educational framework grows from the mandate of a museum. It is the structure
that defines the public faæ of the museum. It 밍lides the development and delivery of 떠1
public programmes and it provides the foundation for measures of success and
accountab피ty in public programmes. Idea1ly, it should seek insight and information from
four distinct but related fields of learning informa1 and non forma1 learning, learning
theory, and instructiona1 design.
