Abstract

Résumé

Une "analyse de besoin" ne semble pas une façon appropriée de rassembler les données nécessaires à la préparation d'expositions muséales à caractère éducatif pour l'adulte. Une "analyse de benefices" semble plus appropriée. Description d'une étude des gains, des bénéfices issus d'une visite à un musée de sciences naturelles réalisée par 45 adultes de 25 à 65 ans. Les principaux résultats de cette étude montrent que le bénéfice majeur d'une visite réside dans le fonctionnement même du visiteur, à cause de la série de plaisirs suscités par ce fonctionnement. Ces plaisirs forment des paires opposées: plaisir de la contemplation et plaisir de l'action; plaisir de la manipulation du monde extérieur et plaisir du retour sur soi-même; plaisir de ce qui se livre dès que l'attention est entière et plaisir de vaincre la difficulté; plaisir de I'imaginaire et plaisir du rationnel; plaisir de la nouveauté et agrément des habitudes. Implications de ces résultats pour l'éducation des adultes.

An "analysis of needs" does not appear to be a suitable way of gathering data from which to prepare museum exhibits of an educational nature. An "analysis of benefits" seems to be more appropriate. This study describes the benefits perceived by 45 adults resulting from their visit to a natural history museum. The results indicate that the greatest benefit to the museum visitor is the opposing pleasures that are experienced: pleasure of contemplation and pleasure of action; pleasure of self-reflection and pleasure of interacting with the outside world; pleasure of thinking deeply about a problem and the pleasure of solving the problem; pleasure derived from the imaginary and pleasure of reality; pleasure of novelty and the pleasure associated with routine. Implications of the results for adult education are presented.
