The Professional Training of Museum Educators in Canada / La formation professionnelle en éducation muséale au Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract: A review of museum training programs was undertaken to assess the current state of professional museum education training in Canada. Out of 18 post-secondary museum studies programs, four programs include one museum education course and two programs include two courses. We found no evidence of museum education content in any of the eight Canadian curatorial practice programs. In terms of specialized programs, a Masters of Museum Education program has existed at UBC since 2012. Another Canadian university is currently examining the possibility of setting up a program. We conclude that the offer of professional museum education training in Canada is slowly improving. Keywords: Museum Education; Museum Education Training; Post-secondary Professional Education; Professionalization of Museum Education.

Quatre des dix-huit programmes d’études muséales postsecondaires proposent un seul cours d’éducation muséale tandis que deux programmes en offrent deux. Nous n’avons trouvé aucune trace de contenu d’éducation muséale parmi les huit programmes canadiens de pratique des conservateurs. En ce qui concerne les programmes spécialisés, l’Université de la Colombie-Britannique propose depuis 2012 un programme de maîtrise en éducation muséale. Une autre université canadienne étudie présentement la possibilité de mettre sur pied un tel programme. Il semblerait donc que la formation professionnelle en éducation muséale offerte gagne lentement du terrain.Mots-clés : éducation muséale, formation à l’éducation muséale, formation professionnelle postsecondaire, professionnalisation de l’éducation muséale.[1]Cette recherche a bénéficié d’une subvention du Conseil de recherches en sciences humains du Canada.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
