Tóm tắt

This paper discusses the role that museum educational programs play in the educational process. In particular, the contribution of discovery learning and museum experience to the formation of students' personalities is studied, with a view to the functioning of the school at a cognitive and social level. The research shows that teachers recognize the benefits of educational visits to museums and seek to offer their students a differentiated learning environment. However, they also point out the inhibiting factors that prevent them from integrating museum educational activities into their program, although they recognize that the museum space is a valuable learning resource.
