Transformations of constructivism in museum pedagogy of George E. Hein

Vol.6,No.1(2017)

Abstract
At present, pedagogical theories are moving beyond traditional school institutions and develop in unconventional environments. The museum is one of them. What started as an effort to implement theory into practice finally gave rise to a novel base on which theory can evolve independently, and can also influence the main pedagogical discourse. This study describes one of the cases in which a major shift in the pedagogical theory occurred, in this particular case the constructivist theory, in the environment of the museum and museum pedagogy. George E. Hein counts among leading museum educators of the present and his works are acknowledged in the museum pedagogy discourse all over the world. This paper seeks to demonstrate and describe the importance of research and theoretical thinking in the field of museum pedagogy for the general pedagogical discourse on the example of G. E. Hein's articles devoted to constructivism.
