Abstract

This paper offers a framework of how the paradigms of non-formal and informal
education apply to museums. The educational theories museums
deal with range between theories of knowledge and theories of learning.
An important section is dedicated to the features of constructivist museums.
The latter ones value social change as well as the social responsibility
needed to achieve, among its goals, the growth of agentivity and a teachinglearning
process that is appropriate and respectful of the new paradigms of
complexity. That is done in order to mediate the understanding of museums.
