ABSTRACT

This article considers the inequities of digital museum programming during the COVID-19 pandemic and their alignment with audiences historically excluded from access to STEAM learning opportunities, primarily communities with low incomes and people of color. We employ an ecosystem framework to assert the critical role museums can play within communities to address these issues during and after pandemic circumstances. We describe a case study from a STEAM-oriented children’s museum where staff provided out-of-school-time learning through reciprocal and collaborative community partnerships.

社区生态：博物馆教育和 COVID-19 期间和之后的数字鸿沟

摘要

本文考虑了 COVID-19 大流行期间数字博物馆编程的不公平性，以及它们与历来被排除在 STEAM 学习机会之外的受众的一致性，主要是低收入社区和有色人种。我们采用生态系统框架来维护博物馆在大流行期间和之后解决这些问题在社区中可以发挥的关键作用。我们描述了一个以 STEAM 为导向的儿童博物馆的案例研究，该博物馆的工作人员通过互惠和协作的社区伙伴关系提供校外学习。
