Abstract
This paper presents the idea of interconnection between modeling of museum contents and intensity of visitor interactions, in our case, students in the museum environment. Mentioned relationship was observed on the basis of the research measuring students’ perceptions of museum contents in a group of 431 second and fourth graders of primary schools in Zadar, Benkovac and Privlaka. Interactions between students in the museum environment were observed in the Museum of Ancient Glass in Zadar. The study employed a combined methodology. Quantitative data were collected by questionnaire and qualitative data were collected by free written students’ statements, students’ drawings as well as their teachers’ statements, collected using semi-structured interviews. The conclusion explains a stimulative role of educational shaping of museum contents in interaction between students and museum artifacts, social interactions observed in the examples of communication processes within the peer groups as well as communication between students and adults in the museum environment.
