Abstract
This study described how social studies preservice teachers learn local history and culture through museum visits. It employed a qualitative descriptive research design involving ten social studies preservice teachers selected through purposeful sampling. Data were collected through a written interview and analyzed using thematic analysis. Through museum visits, social studies preservice teachers learned the following: visual driven through images, relics and artifacts, and multimedia presentation; audio/oral driven through curator explanation and peer discussion; text driven through text description; and actual experience-driven through applying learning from exhibits, giving a point of view from the past, and wearing traditional attire. Preservice social studies teachers can learn about local history and culture by visiting museums. This study emphasizes the value of museums in preserving and promoting local heritage and culture, as well as how they can be a valuable resource for learning about local history and culture.
