Overall Research Project Description This research seeks to understand how a K-8 museum school and its art museum partners carry out educational activities. The research follows a qualitative case study methodology and will use grounded theory to analyze the data and form a visual theoretical model. Museum schools use a model of formal education to include museum resources and methods in their teaching. This research seeks to understand how art museum educators and museum school teachers work together to make museum school learning happen.
The researcher, Audrey, will generate data through on-site observations and in-person or remote interviews with participants at the school and museum partners. Then Audrey will transcribe the interviews with some help from the UROP assistants. The full team will use open (or inductive) coding to find repeated or particularly salient things happening in the data that describe processes of making the museum school learning happen. The team will write memos describing relevant aspects of the codes in order to create larger categories of processes. The team will discuss ways that these categories could be visualized for easily understood visual modeling. Some further literature review during the model creation stages may be necessary. The end product will be a visual representation of a theory grounded in the data about how educators in different organizations work to make museum school learning happen.
Research Tasks Tasks for the UROP research assistant include: some transcribing of interviews, some literature review, coding, discussions of theory model development.
Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Required: Attention to detail. Interest in formal and informal education. Interest in qualitative social science research. Good communication. Careful listening skills.
Recommended: Teaching experience in either formal or informal learning environments. Coursework in education, art education, or museum studies.
Mentoring Philosophy I want the UROP assistants to meet their own academic goals as well as contribute meaningfully to this research. The first step will be to talk about and write individual and shared goals regarding research in education and the mentee’s career. We will develop together a mentorship roadmap that visualizes how and in what mentorship style our work will contribute toward our goals, what resources we need, and how we will review and change our plan. I believe in the deep learning that occurs in pedagogy styles described by cognitive apprenticeship theory. Developing skills alongside a professional pulls back the curtain on otherwise obscured processes of a discipline like qualitative research. Organizing our activities through this style of real-world, applied learning, we will use six strategies: modeling, coaching, scaffolding, articulation, reflection, and exploration.
I recognize that many tasks will be totally new. In this research project, the assistant and I will walk through each task with increasing independence until the assistant and I feel confident in continuing with total independence. Thinking aloud as we perform tasks and writing reflections will help us develop skills during this project. We will both reflect on and articulate the successful learning we see and sticky areas that still promise growth. Finally, through this experience I want UROP assistants to explore the purpose and processes of qualitative research and begin thinking about how they may want to include this field in their career plan.
