Abstract

The “museum
education’’, which has been on the agenda in Turkey since 1990, was formalized
along with the developments in museum approaches of Ministry of Culture and
Tourism and the efforts of Ministry of National Education, Board of Education
for integrating the museums with training. This study was focused on the
evaluation process of museum education program carried out by the Museum
Education Volunteers of Association for Supporting Contemporary Life (CYDD) in
the school and at the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations with 4^th
graders in Ankara. The program, which was developed in 2014, carried out
between 2014-2017 and reached to 985 students in total, was prepared with the
aim of determining the quality of education given to voluntary museum educators
and the levels of attaining the goals. The program indicated that the
participants had knowledge about museum and museum education and their basic
knowledge increased along with the education. The views of participants
indicated that the program achievements and content were in conformity with the
expectations and needs of participants; the findings concerning
learning-teaching process demonstrated that the education program was
successful.
