摘要:The problem under investigation in this dissertation concerns teachers and their ability to continue to be lifelong learners through professional development initiatives in art museums. In this serial case study five teachers from elementary, middle and high schools visited the free choice learning environments of art museums and were interviewed about their encounters with self-selected objects in order to understand their experiences with the art works. Later, in group sessions the teachers discussed their findings with their peers. It is argued that these encounters with cultural objects, layered in a variety of contexts such as historical, social, psychological, emotional and aesthetic, are ideal for interdisciplinary dialogues. Such dialogues create a culture of inquiry, encouraging teachers to use their disciplinary knowledge in new and more flexible ways. In turn, the potential for new learning experiences are produced, which promote the critically important practice of lifelong learning for teachers and their classrooms.
