Abstract

In the 21st century, creativity is considered as one of the main assets for individuals to develop in such a sustainable way that encourages the education to develop creative pedagogical concepts. One of the learning environments created is an active-collaborative student learning strategy by utilizing various facilities outside the classroom including museums. By developing museum-based learning, it is assumed that the quality of learning outcomes to be achieved will be more optimal. The present study is on the results of preliminary research on museum-based learning in Indonesia and Malaysia. This study focuses on examining the perceptions of teachers in Indonesia towards museum-based learning and its effects on student creativity. The data were collected through surveys and interviews and analyzed in qualitative. The result of the research revealed that respondents had a positive perception of museum-based learning as it facilitates concrete fact-based learning, provides a new atmosphere in learning resulted in improvement of student motivation, facilitates learning in and through arts, and serves as a means of appreciation. According to the respondents, museum-based learning can affect both student and teacher creativity, especially in the aspects of insight and inspiration that generate new ideas and add the variety of solutions that students can come up with when solving a problem. However, teachers still experience various obstacles in carrying out museum-based learning both in terms of the availability of funds, infrastructure, human resources, permission, supporting curricula, and museum conditions.
