Embodied Culture in Pottery: Developing Teacher’s Package for Understanding Other’s Culture and Own Culture

There are various perspectives on the roles and functions of museums. In modern times, socio-educational functions of museums are the most emphasized. Most museums offer programs for schools, but teachers still prefer not to visit them. The reason why teachers feel pressured to visit a museum is that they lack knowledge about museum exhibits. Also, it takes too much time and energy for individual teachers to reconstruct the curriculum in conjunction with museum exhibits. The link with the school curriculum has become more cumbersome, making it a one-time field trip rather than visiting the museum. Therefore, the study developed a package for teachers who can use Chinese pottery to provide multicultural education. This teacher’s package contains information and activity sheets necessary for each stage of the pre visiting museum, in visiting museum, and after visiting museum. I hope this teacher’s package serves as a guide to the development of other museum education programs.
