Türkiye ve TÜRKSOY Üyesi Ülkelerde “Müze – Eğitim” İlişkisi; Dünü / Bugünü / Yarını

In this study, going beyond the classical meaning of the concept of 'museum', the evaluation of the museum as an innovative educational model is discussed. The use of museums as educational spaces for children and adults and their potential to provide visionary perspectives to large masses are emphasised. It is stated that museums should evolve as places that can bridge the past and the future and provide scientific, national and international cultural transfer. The historical development, current situation and future potentials of museum education in Turkey and TURKSOY member countries are analysed. By comparing the educational activities of state museums, the historical and current importance of the museum-education relationship is emphasised and possible future developments and suggestions are presented. Suggestions were made on topics such as adding museum education themed courses to the curriculum, opening museums in schools, and developing the concept of interactive museums. This research, which is based on a literature review, aims to synthesise existing scientific studies and to analyse the subject in depth. In this context, the role and contribution of museums in social education has been analysed in depth and a comprehensive evaluation of museum education has been made by presenting examples from different countries.
