Dazhong reporter Liu Yuandi reported from Linyi.
The educational function of museums and memorial halls has social characteristics, and the construction of the education system and the development of activities need to be coordinated and supported by many parties. "At the two sessions in Linyi in 2024, Peng Mei, a member of the Linyi CPPCC, brought the "Suggestions on Giving Play to the Social Education Functions of Museums and Memorial Halls".
With the country's attention to the educational function of museums in recent years, especially the role of museums and memorial halls in social education and the promotion of national spiritual literacy, the museums and memorial halls have successively launched research courses and educational activities according to the different characteristics of the museums, such as: Linyi Museum innovates the education model and carries out " explore the history of their hometown, 100,000 young people enter museums" and other activities; The Yinque Mountain Han Tomb Bamboo Slips Museum carried out a series of activities of "Yinque Mountain Military Science Lecture Hall" to enhance the interest of the classroom in the form of animated comic scrolls and games; The Yimeng Revolutionary Memorial Hall has carried out themed courses such as "I will tell the red story and pass on the Yimeng spirit from generation to generation" and "tracing the red memory and inheriting the red gene", so that the citizens can remember the history, remember the martyrs, and carry forward the Yimeng spirit by telling history, singing red songs, and looking at revolutionary cultural relics.
Peng Mei believes that museums and memorial halls are one of the important places to carry out social education. In recent years, some public cultural venues in Linyi City have gained some practical experience in carrying out social education, and the following relevant suggestions are put forward based on the current situation of social education development in the city:
Enhance the recognition of museum education from all walks of life. First, museums and memorial halls should enhance their educational status in the consciousness of social groups, attract audiences to museums through rich and diverse high-quality exhibitions, and enhance the recognition of museums' social and educational advantages and educational significance by all walks of life through public welfare and educational activities. The second is to increase publicity efforts to make all walks of life understand the necessity and irreplaceability of museum education and obtain universal support.
Explore the museum education model and form a multi-dimensional characteristic education system. First, in terms of educational content, we should first make full use of collection resources and increase the utilization rate of resources, and museums and memorial halls should meet the diverse needs of society in curriculum research and development. Second, in terms of education mode, we should grasp the advantages of scene-based education in museums and memorial halls, complement the passive education of schools, and stimulate students' ability to learn and explore independently.
Give full play to the advantages of school education resources. The first is to make use of the resources of school teachers, school teachers can carry out regular exchange meetings with museum social education personnel, enhance the understanding of museum social education personnel about students, and formulate targeted courses. The second is to set up museums, memorial halls and special classrooms in the school, and integrate the relevant content of museums and memorial halls into the curriculum arrangement, so as to shorten the distance between school education and museum education, subtly deepen the connection between young people and museums, and normalize the social education of museums and memorial halls.
Scientifically formulate research courses. The first is to design research courses with different contents, different difficulties and different teaching methods for primary, middle and high school students, with teenagers as the main body; The second is the diversification of research forms, museums can become a medium to link various fields, through the form of "museum +", play an educational function, broaden the scope of education, such as "museum + characteristic culture", "museum + cultural creativity", "museum + science and technology", etc., integrate resource advantages, and create a multi-level, multi-faceted, multi-choice educational environment.
