Other mentioned Museums : Art Museum of UkraineVatican Museum in RomeIsakjivskas cathedral in St. Petersburg Have you ever visited a museum in another place? (students)
Have you ever visited a museum in another place? (parents) As most of our pupils are adults, they work and have families, the questionnaires were difficult to obtain.
The questionnaire data shows that pupils visit museum more seldom than the teachers do. There can be several reasons such as lack of finances or interest. Unlike pupils, teachers have attended museums 100% more often.
For some pupilsschool is probably the only institution which gives an opportunity to visit museums (to prepare the materials for biology, history and culture classes, as well as other subjects within the framework).
Did you ever read further or buy a museum album or an informative booklet when visiting a museum?
The aim of the project is to expand students' visual range and create opportunities for visiting the museums, to let pupils (themselves and with help of teachers) get interested into the information museums offer and to involve another pupils into the work.
What will we be doing during the visits of the museums? ... and ... Where will we go?
At this meeting the aims and responsibilities were divided: 1. To make two working groups and visit two museums; The Sun Museum and EthnographicalOpen-Air Museum 2. To sum up answers in the questionnaires
