Besides conspectus knowledge, basic knowledge of the major, students also access to specialized modules such as: Identifying the values of intangible cultural heritage, research methodology in investigating intangible cultural heritage, Inventory of intangible cultural heritage, forms of intangible cultural heritage… One important learning method of these major modules is experiment, field work and access to public through activities: + Observational thinking: learning through observation of activities executed by the others or self - experienced, thinking and concluding the understanding from experiences; + Conceptualization: learning through establishing concepts, synthesize, justify, and analyze what we have observed; + Practical experience: learning through activities, behaviors, specific and hand-on acts, + Experiment: learning through experiments, propose solutions for issues and make decision. Learning - through - experiment methodology is put on specific learning contexts. In this paper, we want to mention to the role of the Museum – as an effective learning context, a buffering step from theory to practice to access the public. This learning context is analyzised based on the exhibition of traditional crafts at Ho Chi Minh city Museum, and based on contextual models of learning proposed by two proffesssors of Oregon University: John Howard Falk and Lynn Diane Dierking. | ||
