Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北藝術大學 === 藝術與人文教育研究所 === 99 === American psychologist Howard Gardner proposes the theory of multiple intelligences, which develop the understanding of potentials of human’s learning. Compared with the school education, the museum provides a free learning environment which is good for the development of multiple intelligences. The researcher took high school students to visit art museums, trying to implement the school curriculum and core competencies in the museum environment. In this study, the method of action research is applied. The researcher planned ten-week art courses integrating museum visits for high school students. Through qualitative interviews and observations of students’ visits to two contemporary art exhibitions, their learning experiences in relation to the Multiple Intelligences will be discussed and analyzed. By doing so, it is hoped that this research will help to provide ideas for teachers to understand the potentials of developing multiple intelligences in the museum as well as for the museum practitioners to develop the museum exhibition and art education for high school students.
The results and discussion of the study are as follows. It is important for high school students to take pictures freely in the exhibition and the museum staff’s attitude will affect their experiences. Secondly, the contemporary art inspired introspection and interpersonal intelligences, and changes their values and attitudes. Thirdly, high school students will relate contemporary art works with their lives and inspire their art creativities. Therefore, two suggestions are made as follows: First, Art teacher should use art museums’ resources and provide individual centered learning and multiple entry points to inspire high school students’ multiple intelligences and creativities. Secondly, the museum should provide free learning environment and friendly learning support to facilitate high school students’ understanding of contemporary art.
