The aims of the workshop are:
To try some practical activities to use with different groups of people
To ask good questions
To try coding qualitative data
To make an evaluation plan
Baseline and Formative evaluation
Icebreakers (activities to help people get to know each other)
Personal Meaning Maps
What do you know, think, feel about:
Etnografski
Muzej
Zagreb
Gallery Visit
Go to the galleries
Think like a teenager - you are familiar with museums, they might not be
Imagine that you are the museum’s Youth Forum, and you have to review the exhibitions
Can you read the labels? (Dyslexia? Poor vision?)
Can you find your way around? (Do you ask the room stewards? Are they helpful?)
If you have a camera (or phone with a camera), take photos of things which you like and don’t like
Come back here in 15 minutes
Like Don’t like It would be better if….
Use post-its to write your comments. If this was a real project, you would download and print people’s photos
Personal Meaning Maps - “After”
Use a different colour to write everything new which you know, feel, think, now that you have visited the galleries
In pairs, use coloured pencils to code statements to the Generic Learning Outcomes
Analysing Qualitative Data
Inductive, or Grounded, Theory – start with the data you have, then look for outcomes. This will show unexpected outcomes as well as expected outcomes.
Use sweets as data!
How can you sort the data?
Coloured? Black and white? Stripes? Plain? Different colours? Round? Square? Do you know if they are chocolate /
caramel / fruit, by looking at them? You can eat them, to find out! (if they
were a person, you would have to ask them more questions)
Analysing qualitative and quantitative data

in the section “Generic Learning Outcomes checklists and coding tools”
What makes a good question?
Create an Evaluation Plan
Who? Older teenagers, studying art at
school
What? A two-day workshop in the
museum, to improve their drawing and painting skills
How can the students do as much of the evaluation as possible?
