Museums are a trend these days, as evidence we can always see or read news that gives prominence to a museum, whether its on television, an article in the newspaper, or a feature in magazines. Its so joyful to see, that once again we as Filipinos become curious and aware of our heritage in natural, cultural, and historical aspects. Just last May 2018 the new National Museum of Natural History was opened to the public where everyone can learn and discover about the countrys rich and diverse flora and fauna for free. The public, especially the learning institutions can now have a new place and methods to facilitate learning to enhance the learning process of their students in the field of Natural History just like in the field of Anthropology and History.
Its not new anymore that Museums serve as an avenue of alternative sources of information and the teachers take it as an opportunity every time theres an educational tour as well as using the museum tour experience to relate their topics to their subject matter. As a former educator and now a museum employee who also as a child who always looks forward to an educational trip, I can say that Museum visits have become mandatory these days as a place to go every time theres an educational tour not because DepEd mandates it but because they see the importance of it. Museum integration in the classroom particularly in elementary school, can aid curriculum effectiveness and unlock a childs imagination in creating a unique learning experience. We all know that students learn in many different ways. They effectively have different learning styles. These different styles are categorized into three types; visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Educators are often trying to figure out how to differentiate their lessons to reach a classroom of unique and different learners. What if we could reach those learners all at the same time? We could then effectively guarantee we are suitably appealing to the multiple intelligences of a diverse student population. We can achieve this by incorporating unique museum field trip experiences.
Field Trips or Educational Tour are not mandatory, if the Department of Education is the one to be asked, but they also see the importance that is one of the means to supplement classroom learning and the department is clear in stressing that if ever theres a need for an educational tour, the places to be visited by the students must be educational, such as cultural and historical sites, or science exhibits in museums. Museums, of all places, get the nod and recommendation from the executive department of the Philippine government responsible for improving the quality of basic education. Even the 17th Congress in their 2nd regular session, recently filed a Resolution that strongly urged the Department of Education to require all Private and Public Education schools to prioritize in their conduct of Educational Field Trips Visits to Historical Sites, Landmarks, and Museums within the Philippines. The Congress, the Department of Education, and all the learning institutions are both convinced that museums play a big part in students’ learning, if the learning institution together with the legislative and the executive departments of the country in Education have these kinds of beliefs, this study just want to identify how effective is the museum visit as instructional strategies in enhancing the student engagement in the classroom? Will it yield in their great learning output? What about those students who dont experience it? Is there an effect in their engagement in the classroom that will affect their learning outcome? These are the questions examined throughout this research.
