다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study has intended to get basic information about general features and facilities of museums, practical use of museums by children, exhibition and education programs and public activities of museums. These date would be used as basic information for the efforts to enlarge educational roles of museums by activating children's use of museums.
Questionnaires constructed by researchers have been sent to 240 museums in Korea and 125 among 135 reponded museums were analysed for this study. Nine museums among them have been interviewed by researchers for more detailed information.
Results of this study are summarized as follows.
First, museums have insufficient experts like curators or educators, participation of volunteers is not made properly, and educational facilities for children are not sufficient. Contents and location of explanatory plates are also inappropriate for children.
Second, the main purpose of children's field trip to museum is to accomplish homework given by teacher. Schools and parents are not prepared to provide proper information or introduction about the museum before children visit, so that there are less learning opportunities from meseum related activities.
Third, Two third of the museums do not have education programs for children, because they are short of budget, professional staffs, and proper facilities. Effective and prepared museum education is not achieved because of insufeficient professionals in museum education and inappropriate group visit without advancing information.
Fourth publicity of museums is made mainly through information letters, newsletters, and pamphlets. Little information, however, is given to parents or teachers in school about educational programs and exhibitions of museums. Developing special events and various programs for children are to be an effective way of publicity of museums.
Suggestions are made for activating children's learning in the museums.
