Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This research explores pre-service teachers' conceptions of museums. Using a case study methodology, a qualitative research technique, the perspectives of pre-service teachers were examined. The study utilized picture documents drawn by the pre-service teachers. To ensure accurate and reliable analysis, participants were asked to write explanations on the back of their drawings, detailing what the objects represented and their reasons for drawing them. The study group consisted of students in primary education and English language education programs at a public university. Participants included 3rd-year primary education and 4th-year English language education undergraduates who would take the museum education course. Data were analyzed by three experts, resulting in codes, categories, and themes such as "structure," "material," "artifact," and "contribution to understanding the past." The study concludes with several recommendations.
