MUSEUM PEDAGOGY AS A TOOL FOR DEVELOPING HISTORICAL THINKING, CULTURAL AWARENESS, AND ETHICAL REFLECTION IN STUDENTS
Keywords:
Museum pedagogy, historical thinking, cultural awareness, experiential learning, civic responsibility, ethical reflection.Abstract
This study investigates the impact of museum pedagogy on students’ historical thinking, cultural awareness, and ethical reflection. Using a mixed-methods design, the research employed pre-and post-intervention assessments, semi-structured interviews, and reflective journals. Findings indicate that engagement with museum artifacts enhances historical empathy, critical evaluation of sources, and appreciation of cultural heritage. Qualitative analysis identified three key themes: experiential learning, cultural identity formation, and civic-ethical reflection. The results suggest that integrating museum pedagogy into educational curricula fosters both cognitive and socio-emotional development, preparing students to become culturally aware and socially responsible citizens.
