Description
Object Lessons and Early Learning by Sharon E. Shaffer explores how museums can foster learning in young children through object-based experiences. By examining the cognitive development of early learners, Shaffer argues that museums are uniquely positioned to allow children to make meaning about their world through personal connections to cultural artifacts, natural specimens, and works of art. The book presents a range of descriptive object lessons inspired by objects in museums as well as from everyday life, demonstrating ways to engage young children in learning. It offers insights into strategies for engaging young learners in museum settings and their everyday world, making it an essential read for museum professionals, classroom educators, and students.
