“…Defined in this way, program evaluation is conceptualized as an empowering process and a pedagogical undertaking in itself (Cousins & Earl, 1992;Schwandt, 2003). The John G. Shedd Aquarium in Chicago (Kubarek, 2015) and the Science Museum of Minnesota in St. Paul (Grack Nelson & Callahan Schreiber, 2009) are two examples of museums that have recently employed a participatory approach when evaluating their educational programs. Although, these program evaluations were conducted in science rather than art settings, the growing trend in the field towards participatory evaluation is reflective of museum practice in other contexts.…”

Over the past three decades, the museum education field has seen a rise in the frequency of program evaluation. In this paper, I convey little known information about program evaluation at the Art Gallery of Ontario by presenting my findings from an interview I conducted with Judy Koke, the gallery’s Chief of Public Programming and Learning. Our discussion highlights both the barriers the AGO has faced on their journey toward evaluating programmatic value and the strategies the gallery has employed in an effort to enhance its internal evaluation efforts. A brief overview of program evaluation in museums provides the background to this discussion. KEYWORDS: Art museum education; Program evaluationRésumé: Le domaine de la pédagogie muséale a connu au cours des trois dernières décennies un essor quant au nombre d’évaluations de programmes. Je transmets ici le peu de renseignements connus sur l’évaluation des programmes au Musée des beaux-arts de l’Ontario (AGO), au terme d’une entrevue que j’ai menée avec Judy Koke, directrice de l’apprentissage et de la programmation à l’intention du public au Musée. Notre discussion met en évidence tant les obstacles rencontrés par l’AGO dans le cadre de l’évaluation de la valeur des programmes que les stratégies utilisées par le musée pour rehausser ses activités internes d’évaluation. Un bref aperçu de l’évaluation des programmes dans les musées met notre discussion en contexte.MOTS CLES: Éducation musée d'art; évaluation du programme.
