While the exhibition parcours 'Objects in Transfer' highlights the transcultural entanglements of objects, 'Multaka' is a traineeship project preparing refugees from Syria and Iraq to become museum tour guides for Arabic-speaking visitors. 'Tamam', a joint initiative with mosque communities and Muslim associations across Germany, develops collection-centred educational material for young Muslims. The paper explores key findings from an evaluation of the interactive exhibition parcours 'Objects in Transfer' within the context of collaborative initiatives such as 'Multaka' and 'Tamam'.","PeriodicalId":36891,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Elementary Education","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67770755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The same cannot be said for educational theory, as there is a lack of research in the field of museums and education. Museum pedagogy is an interdisciplinary science that combines multiple theoretical and methodological approaches.\u0000Bračun Sova analyses the structure of scientific information, which forms the basis for the interpretation of cultural heritage, through a case study of the Knights’ Hall in Brežice Castle in Slovenia. The author finds that the interpretation of the Hall of Knights is based on art historical information, with the results showing that attention is unevenly distributed, and more attention is paid to the Baroque motif of the four elements. The key finding is that in the museum we see the ceiling as part of the painting, but not as the highlight of the painting.\u0000Authors Brajčić and Kuščević examine the museum as a space for non-formal and informal study and analyse the indicators of engagement by visitors, students of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Split. The research proves that the perception of the role of the museum among students has recently diverged and raises new questions about the need for further research in the field of student engagement in educational options. In her article, the author Govekar Okoliš examines various educational museum activities, using the example of the Slovenian School Museum on a sample of students from the Faculty of Arts at the University of Ljubljana. The results of the research show that lessons from the past as a pedagogical activity constitute an effective, lively, and active way to learn about the history of teaching for a group of university students.\u0000An important topic in the field of mentoring is the article by author Kisovar Ivanda, who points out the potential of excellent mentors offered by museums, regardless of educational level. In the article, the author explores the views of teachers, museum educators and curators on the forms of mentoring in the process of personalising primary education in Croatian primary schools. Based on the research findings, the author proves the positive attitude of teachers, museum educators and curators towards mentoring through cooperation with educational institutions and cultural communities.\u0000Kiurski points to the pedagogical value of museums, especially museum theatre. He introduces it as an interpretive tool, presents the theoretical framework, the sources of development, the use of theatre in museums in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The focus is on the twentieth century. Special attention is paid to the actual use of creative theatre in selected Serbian museums (Matica Srpska Gallery, Paul Beljanski Memorial Collection, Museum of the City of Belgrade, National Museum Kikinda, Museum of Voj","PeriodicalId":36891,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Elementary Education","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67770838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, research shows a lack of critical conditions for implementing inclusive education of these students, which is reflected in an increased risk of their academic and social exclusion and of increasing teachers' workload. Schools also lack flexibility in working with parents.
