The research subjects consisted of 5th grade elementary students from two 5th grade classrooms. The two cohorts contained students who have been exposed to the art museum educational program versus students who have been exposed to similar resources within the school. The two classes were involved and were exposed to one of the above conditions by using action research cycles. Through this activity of research, observations were made about the teachers that effectively utilize the program and resources of art museum instructional curriculum to enhance the capability of curriculum design: A. The researcher's pedagogical belief effectively encouraged students' self expression and decreasing the gap in experience and understanding between teachers and students. B. The researcher utilized educational theory to increase students' integration ability, multi faceted thinking, and analytical skills to understand art works. C. The researcher improved the integration, curriculum design and assisted teacher-student interactions within the classrooms. D. The researcher based belief in pedagogical environment to assist the execution of the art museum educational program proposal. In addition, through the results of studying the difference between classroom teaching and museum teaching, the researchers assisted students with the following: A. Understand self development, especially internal analysis that can inspire the desire to learn and develop more sophisticated learning skills. B. Using the resources from an art museum to increase the exposure and the knowledge of art, social, and humanity. C. Interactions with the environment will increase and develop keen sense of observations. However, students' abilities to understand the intention of the artist were better developed when taught through the art museum curriculum than the classroom curriculum. Lastly, the research provided recommendations based on the results of the finding in the hopes to share the proposed curriculums of the art museum to educational professionals.
