Abstract:
This article reports on Connecting Museums: leadership, innovation and education in Science Museums, an international conference involving three university museums: Museu de Ciências e Tecnologia da Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (MCT-PUCRS), the Great North Museum: Hancock (GNM), at Newcastle University (NU), and the Oxford University Museum of Natural History (OUMNH). The partnership started with a project to develop a joint exhibition on the theme of evolution organised by MCT-PUCRS and GNM, supported by the British Council’s Newton Fund (Institutional Skills 2016). The two museums shared the project at the UK University Museums Group (UMG) conference in 2016, where it came to the attention of colleagues at OUMNH. Following the UMG conference, the leadership and education teams of the three museums opened a dialogue to exchange knowledge and experience on leadership, innovation and education in science museums. This culminated in the first Connecting Museums conference in Porto Alegre, Brazil in October 2017. The conference was attended by 81 professionals, researchers, undergraduate and graduate students with interests in museology, the natural sciences and related areas. *** Connecting Museums: um estudo de caso sobre liderança, inovação e educação em museus de ciências universitários liderando projetos de internacionalização ***Este artigo constitui-se de um relato sobre o Connecting Museums: liderança, inovação e educação em Museus de Ciências, uma conferência internacional envolvendo três museus universitários: o Museu de Ciências e Tecnologia da Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (MCT-PUCRS), o Great North Museum: Hancock (GNM), da Newcastle University (NU) e o Oxford University Museum of Natural History (OUMNH).

Abstract:
This article provides an overview of current understandings of the science learning that occurs as a consequence of visiting a free-choice learning setting like a science museum. The best available evidence indicates that if you want to understand learning at the level of individuals within the real world, learning does functionally differ depending upon the conditions, i. e., the context, under which it occurs. Hence, learning in museums is different than learning in any other setting. The contextual model of learning provides a way to organize the myriad specifics and details that give richness and authenticity to the museum learning process while still allowing a holistic picture of visitor learning. The results of a recent research investigation are used to show how this model elucidates the complex nature of science learning from museums. This study demonstrates that learning from museums can be meaningfully analyzed and described. The article concludes by stating that only by appreciating and accounting for the full complexities of the museum experience will a useful understanding of how and what visitors learn from science museums emerge.

Abstract:
Introduction. In 2021, within the framework of the Year of Science and Technology announced in Russia, the work related to the popularization of Russian science and technology plays an important role. Noticeable shifts in the field of science popularization require the selection of new forms and methods of knowledge dissemination. Interactive scientific museums and science popularization centers are called upon to play a significant role in this field. For now, a system of indicators has been developed, but it does not fully meet requirements that should be applied to the science popularization objects. The main purpose of the article is to analyze the functioning of science and technology museums, museums of natural sciences and science popularization centers in Russia and in foreign countries and, based on the study of approaches to the effectiveness of their activities, to develop approaches and tools for popularization of scientific knowledge in Russia through creation of science popularization centers and knowledge quarters. Materials and Methods. Based on the reviewed forms and methods for organization of museum functioning in China, the USA, France, Great Britain, Canada, Germany, Italy and New Zealand the museum and science popularization center (SPC) activity analysis has been conducted to understand such indicators of their activities as funding, management documents in museum functioning, criteria and procedure for museum functioning assessment, etc. This has given us the possibility to discover common features and peculiarities of museum standards of these countries. Also, primary criteria and institutions for assessment of museums and science popularization centers in Russia have been determined. Through utilization of their activity assessment documents the outstanding centers and museums of Russia have been shown, the map of museums of natural sciences and science and technology museums of our country has been developed, the recommendations to increase their activity have been prepared. Based on the method of structural analysis and synthesis, the data have been studied and summarized, which allowed creating a model as a conceptual representation of the knowledge quarter functioning, predicting new approaches and tools for popularization of science in Russia. The identified approaches in the activities of Russian and foreign museums and popularization centers have been taken into account conceptually when forming proposals for improving popularization activities in Russia. Results. With the help of the conceptual construct used to characterize museums of natural sciences, science and technology museums and science popularization centers, the basic criteria for evaluating a science popularization center in Russia have been outlined; the specifics of foreign experience that can be useful in assessing the effectiveness of an SPC in Russia has been shown; the measures have been proposed to introduce knowledge quarters as an innovative approach to popularize science in the country. Discussion and Conclusion. The work of a science popularization center should be organized at each world-class scientific and educational center and at each world-class scientific center. When implementing the new strategic academic leadership program “Priority 2030”, it is recommended to take into account the need to integrate the activities of leading universities with the activities of an SPC. The creation of a partnership of organizations based on the conceptual novel approaches for functioning of knowledge quarters working in the field of science, education and business, which are geographically located in close proximity to each other, will contribute to ensuring the influx of talented young people into science and will allow the state and society to more effectively solve the tasks of implementing state policy in the field of science, technology and innovation in the future.

Abstract:
The article is dedicated to one of the largest museum centers of natural history in the world - the California Academy of Sciences (San Francisco, USA), which is, since its founding in 1853, both a research and scientific and educational organization. The California Academy of Sciences, in its current version, presents a prime example of the development of basic museum’s concepts in USA: guardianship, corporate museum, museum communication, achieving the goals of sustainable development of society, the involvement in science the population on the basis of the system “STEM-education” (Science, Technology, Engineering Mathematics). The article analyzes the history and modern activities of the museum in terms of exhibition features, scientific and educational practice. Architectural, artistic and engineering solutions, features of internal infrastructure, themes, content and design of the exhibition complex reflect the stated national mission to "explore, explain and sustain"), in accordance with the implementation of the declared environmental concept of sustainable development (fighting global climate warming, the development of technologies of energy conservation, cleanliness and waste of production, etc.). On the basis of our own museum observations, analysis of literary data, we can conclude that museums as social institutions and interactive technologies used in the educational process are most suitable for the task of introducing the widest range of citizens to science and culture. The example of the California Academy of Sciences provides important guidelines for the development of museums in our country.

Abstract:
This paper introduces network science to museum studies. The spatial structure of the museum and the exhibit display largely determine what visitors see and in which order, thereby shaping their visit experience. Despite the importance of spatial properties in museum studies, few scientific tools have been developed to analyze and compare the results across museums. This paper introduces the six habitually used network science indices and assesses their applicability to museum studies. Network science is an empirical research field that focuses on analyzing the relationships between components in an attempt to understand how individual behaviors can be converted into collective behaviors. By taking the museum and the visitors as the network, this methodology could reveal unknown aspects of museum functions and visitor behavior, which could enhance exhibition knowledge and lead to better methods for creating museum narratives along the routes.

Abstract:
The emergence of the museums of science and technology is associated with many factors such as the Industrial Revolution, the interest in collecting, and society’s demand for education and training. As a rule, museums were created based on already assembled collections or by organizing major exhibitions in order to collect relevant objects. The article discusses the history and goals of establishing two largest science and technology museums in Europe, the Kensington Museum (Science Museum) in London and the Conservatoire national des arts et métiers in Paris, and the Polytechnic Museum in Moscow, whose creation was influenced by the aforementioned European museums. The article also analyzes the shifts in the composition of collections in these three museums, depending on their maturity, and shifts in the attitude towards “aging” items. Based on museum catalogs and other published sources, the development of museum collections is traced from the predominance of new technologies to the formation of historico-technical collections.

O objetivo da tese é refletir sobre a construção institucional do Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi entre a década de 1860, quando foi criado, e o final da gestão do zoólogo suíço Emílio Goeldi (1859-1917), em 1907. Nessa ocasião, o Museu Paraense ocupava um lugar de destaque no cenário científico brasileiro em razão da intensa produção científica que aí se verificou. Na tese são analisadas as mudanças políticas que posicionaram o Museu Paraense, após o golpe republicano de 1889, como uma das instituições estaduais prioritárias em termos de aplicação de recursos financeiros e como importante símbolo para a identidade das elites locais. A construção do museu após essa re-qualificação é estudada a partir do perfil estipulado para a instituição, do espaço construído, da equipe contratada, da agenda científica e das relações políticas locais, expressas por meio do aporte de recursos e da receptividade do diretor do museu às demandas estatais. Os resultados atestam que a proclamação da República e o conseqüente sistema federalista implantado no Brasil são marcos fundamentais para a história do Museu Paraense, uma vez que permitiram à instituição se especializar nos estudos sobre a região amazônica, que já se configurava, na segunda metade do século XIX, como fronteira econômica.
The goal of the thesis is to reflect upon the institutional construction of the Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi (Emílio Goeldi Museum of Pará) between the decade of 1860, when it was created, and the end of turn of the Swiss zoologist Emilio Goeldi (1859-1917) as its director, in 1907. At this time, the Museu Paraense occupied a place of prominence on the Brazilian scientific scene, due to the intense scientific production that was instantiated there. In the thesis, we analyzed the political changes that placed the Museu Paraense, after the republican blow of 1889, as one of the priority state institutions in terms of application of financial resources and as important symbol for the identity of the local elites. The construction of the museum after this re-qualification is studied based on the profile stipulated for the institution, the built space, the hired staff, the scientific agenda and the relations with the local politicians, which are expressed by the allocation of resources and the willingness of the museum director to attend the state demands. The results attest that the establishment of the Republic and the consequent federalist system enforced in Brazil are essential landmarks for the history of the Museu Paraense, for they have permitted the institution to specialize in the studies on the Amazonian economic frontier.

PROGRAMA DE EXCELENCIA ACADEMICA
O presente trabalho tem como objetivo caracterizar o estágio desenvolvido por alunos bolsistas em museus de ciência. Historicamente, esses espaços se consolidaram como locais de produção de conhecimento e educação. Em um primeiro momento, pretendeu-se investigar exclusivamente como a iniciação científica (IC) ocorre nesses espaços e se a formação dos bolsistas se relaciona com as demais atividades museais, como a mediação. Assim, foram levantados quais museus da cidade do Rio de Janeiro possuem bolsistas de IC e, em seguida, realizou-se entrevista com os profissionais das instituições responsáveis por esses alunos. Entretanto, a ida a campo revelou a presença de outros tipos de bolsa, como a de extensão universitária, levando, portanto, a ampliar os objetivos da investigação, ou seja, incluiu-se a análise da formação dos bolsistas em geral. Buscou-se também, a partir da aplicação de um questionário online, mapear os demais espaços museais no país que possuem alunos bolsistas. A investigação permitiu a caracterização do estágio quanto à seleção dos bolsistas, atividades desenvolvidas, apresentação dos resultados, avaliação e relação com a mediação. Para a análise das dimensões formativas na IC, estabeleceu-se um diálogo com autores como Latour, Bourdieu, Neves e Martins, e na extensão, com Freire e Paula. A análise das experiências formativas mostrou que a extensão e os museus de ciência podem ser espaços para o diálogo entre o conhecimento científico e a sociedade, onde a produção do conhecimento e a educação, em geral, caminham juntos. Além disso, a pesquisa aponta que a IC e a extensão são processos formativos que podem acontecer simultaneamente e o quanto museus de ciência parecem ser um espaço potente para que essas diferentes formações acadêmicas aconteçam em diálogo.
This work aims to characterize the internship developed by scholarship students in Science museums. Those places have been historically recognized as places of production of knowledge and education. At first, our intention was to investigate exclusively how the work of initial scientific research-training programs (IST) is developed in those spaces and if the academic background of the scholarship students has any relation to other museum activities, like mediation. Thus, we first gathered information about what museums in Rio de Janeiro had intern students who held IST scholarships and then we interviewed the professionals who were directly responsible for those students. However, the field work revealed other types of scholarships, what led us to broaden our goals, which means including the analysis of all scholarship holders. We have also tried to map others museum in the country that had scholarship students and we did that using an online questionnaire. The investigation allowed us to characterize the internship regarding the selection of the scholarship holders, the activities in which they were involved, presenting results, evaluation and how they related to the mediation. In order to perform the analysis of the academic background dimensions in the scientific initiation of grad students, we stablished a dialog with authors like Latour, Bourdieu, Neves and Martins and for the analysis of the work of extension students, we used Freire and Paula. The analysis of the academic background forming experiences showed that the university extension and the science museums can be places where the scientific knowledge and the society can dialogue, where the production of the knowledge and the education generally walk together, side by side. Besides, the research shows that the scientific initiation and the extension are academic background forming processes that can happen simultaneously, and also how much science museums can be great places where those different academic background formations can relate to each other.

Abstract:
The research addresses issues identified in an ESRC Case studentship developed in collaboration between Manchester Metropolitan University and the Museum of Science & Industry in Manchester. The original proposal had as its central aim "informing how museums can most effectively contribute to and enhance children's learning in primary school science". A case study is presented of upper primary school groups visiting the Museum, including discussions of the Museum's schools' provision and the practices of visiting school groups. Within that broader context, a main finding is that children can and do engage in dialogue about museum exhibits in ways that are relevant to their science learning. The finding is supported by empirical evidence from a series of discussions held with 8 to lO-year-old primary school pupils who had visited the Museum. The children find the exhibits rich, interesting and comprehensible enough to be engaging topics of conversation while being sufficiently thought provoking to challenge their ideas and their ways of talking. Sociocultural theory is used as a framework for analysing the science-relevant content of what the children talked about, the patterns of discourse they used, and the identities they enacted. The theory provides a fruitful way of understanding the children's engagement in talking as the concerns, sense of purpose, identification and emotion of participation in a social practice. Implications for museum education practice are identified. Talking about exhibits consolidates and strengthens the general educational value of visits by school groups to the Museum. Suggestions are made for how Museum staff and school teachers can build on children's museum experience to enhance their scientific literacy.

Structures of perfect symmetry, order, and beauty exist in both discoveries of science and objects found in natures. With careful observation and analysis, creative applications of these interesting forms can be and have been applied in many architectural structures with great success. In this project the utilization of these forms can not only bring out the purpose of this Museum of Nature and Science, but because these forms are derived from natural studies, they can also give viewers a sense of familiarity and peacefulness.

Abstract:
The museum activity is more and more often aimed at integration with local communities, organization of scientific debates and intercultural dialogue, expansion of social network and framework for communication and mediation of scientific issues. Museums generate learning potential and create a social culture. The aim of the research was to diagnose the viability of natural history museums as the spaces of open training and increasing social participation in education for balanced development. Furthermore, it examined the possibility to create a strong interaction between schools at all levels and institutions of informal education, exchange of experience in the field of educational projects and the development of cooperation principles to strengthen the university-school-natural history museum relations. In the research conducted in the years 2016-2017 participated 110 students of teaching specialization in various fields of studies. The results of the research are connected with students’ attitudes towards new role of museums as institutions popularizing knowledge and sharing knowledge. The outcomes enable the diagnosis in terms of preparing young people to pursue participatory activities for the local community and may be the starting point for the development of proposals of educational solutions increasing students’ awareness in the field of natural history museums’ educational potential. Keywords: knowledge-based society, natural history museum, science education.
