Abstract:

One of the topics that have been strictly focused on in recent years is the question of how museums position themselves at the point of taking on social responsibilities. The museums are private and official institutions that deal with human development from a sociological, psychological and philosophical point of view. The museums also perform their educational tasks with the works they host in their visitors. One of the main reasons for learning from museums as a teaching environment is the presence of numerous stimulants to address the visitors to multiple sensory organs. The museums present out the teaching activities of non-school education, with serious work in workshops, classrooms and gallery sections. This contemporary formation is a new museum attitude that takes on the mission of leaving meaningful learning and deep emotions in its visitors. In today’s contemporary understanding of education, the teacher-centered memory-based, passive participation of the student, the classical understanding of education is gradually abandoned. In contemporary education understanding, the structural education method is highlighted, where the individual is at the center of the teaching process with their own experiences and active role, which addresses the sensual, cognitive characteristics, and where permanent learning is provided. With this educational model in the museums, all kinds of cultural existence, facts, events, concepts, etc. relate to man. It creates an effective learning environment. The contribution to the qualified education of the visitors of the museums in the framework of the structural training in the study was discussed in the example axis of the Anadolu Civilizations Museum in Turkey, the Çorum Museum, the Adana Museum, the Kırıkkale Museum, the Aydın Museum, the Mersin Museum, the Çankırı Museum, the Pera Museum, the Istanbul Modern Art, the Sakıp Sabancı Museum.
