new docent books

There are several new books at the Docent Desk that have to do with museum experiences and learning and docents. These books are on loan from Carri, but if you are interested in any of them, please contact me and I’m sure we can arrange a short loan.

The books are:

The School and Society and The Child and the Curriculum by John Dewey

Mind in Society: The Development of Higher Psychological Processes by L.S. Vygotsky

Learning from Museums: Visitor Experiences and the Making of Meaning by John H. Falk and Lynn D. Dierking
