Education Next – Jay P. Greene
“The National Art Education Association and the Association of Art Museum Directors just released a new study examining the effects of student field trips to art museums. The study looked at outcomes for students who went on a single field trip to one of six different art museums around the country. Instead of going to the museum, some students received an art museum intervention typically presented by museum staff in their classroom. And a third group of students received neither the field trip or the classroom experience and served as the control group.” (more)
