A Trip to the ‘Harput Music‘ Museum as an Out-of-School Learning Environment: A Case Study
Öz
Abstract
The research utilized a case study approach to investigate the impact of museum visits on out-of-school learning, with a focus on the Harput Music Museum. Gifted students were selected using purposive sampling and given the task of researching Harput culture and a specific musical piece prior to their visit. To enhance engagement, a competition was introduced, with the aim of reinforcing the students' learning through real-time feedback. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect students' responses, which were analyzed using thematic content analysis with the help of Maxqda software.
The results revealed that although students often find museum visits unexciting, the inclusion of prior research, the competitive element, and the interactive aspects of the trip shifted their perceptions of cultural and social values. The visit significantly heightened students' interest in the historical and musical heritage of Harput, underlining the importance of preserving cultural traditions. Furthermore, the study recommends organizing similar museum visits in other regions and integrating cultural components into various subjects to create a more immersive and engaging learning experience.
