Thesis by Beth Smith (2015)
This research study sought to describe the programmatic strategies used within art museum school field trips to facilitate the development of students鈥� critical thinking skills. Data were collected using a case study approach, with interviews conducted with two members of each institution鈥檚 education department. Key findings show all case study museums were motivated to focus on critical thinking out of a desire to be of value to schools, and to capitalize on the educational assets of their museum. There were similarities and differences in the strategies used for facilitating critical thinking. For example, all three cases used inquiry-based, gallery discussions to guide students through the practice of critical thinking, however the specific nature of their inquiry strategies differed. Overall, study results fill a gap in literature on programmatic strategies for impacting critical thinking skill development within school programs in art museums.
