ABSTRACT This paper investigates how family museum visitors crafted learning through interaction with one another and the touch objects of an exhibition. Through a case study of seven families’ interaction, we show how families used touch to bring their interests and resources into dialogue with museum expectations and resources. Using a multimodal approach to analyze observational data, we generate a fine-grained account of differently configured family touch practices and ways of experiencing and knowing objects through their material, sensory tactile and affective qualities. We conclude by highlighting how our findings can inform the design of touch exhibits to support family learning, with attention to engagement, narrative creation, and embodied learning, and point to the paper’s methodological contribution to the analysis of visitor situated real-time interaction and learning in museums.

博物馆中的家庭接触实践和学习经验

摘要 本文调查了家庭博物馆参观者如何通过彼此的互动和展览的触摸对象来进行学习。通过七个家庭互动的案例研究，我们展示了家庭如何使用触摸将他们的兴趣和资源与博物馆的期望和资源进行对话。使用多模态方法来分析观察数据，我们对不同配置的家庭接触实践以及通过物体的材料、感官触觉和情感品质体验和了解物体的方式进行了细粒度的描述。最后，我们强调了我们的发现如何为触摸展览的设计提供信息，以支持家庭学习，关注参与、叙事创作和体现学习，
