Journal Title: Journal of International Museum Education - Year 2019, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Museums support children's imagination, creativity, curiosity, historical thinking skills and are among the first places that come to mind when it comes to learning environments outside the school. In order for children to benefit from museums and to gain the habit of going to museums from to early age; children should be introduced to museums in the pre-school period. Therefore, both the preschool period and the parents who will introduce their children with museums are very important. At this point, parents can go to museums with their children and give them the feeling that museums are a fun and educational place. This study aims to reveal the views and experiences of parents about education by means of museum visits. In this research, phenomenology was used. Participants of the study were determined by criterion sampling from purposeful sampling methods and interviews were conducted with six parents at two sub, two middle and two upper socioeconomic levels. Data were collected with the structured interview questions developed by the researcher and analyzed by phenomenology analysis method. The results of the study showed that although parents who have high socioeconomic level have higher level of knowledge and awareness about the educational function of the museums, most of the parents do not prefer going to museums due to some reasons, such as; traffic, transportation difficulties and expensive museum entrance fees. Parents should therefore be provided with easy and affordable access to museums and encouraged to participate in educational activities in the museum with their children.
