Abstract

Educational mediation in non-formal education and cultural industries contexts is increasingly important, especially when institutions of heritage, art and creativity try to reach effectively the public and citizenship. Specifically, museums require training and instruction in mediation and the educational role. This work, based on a bibliographic review of articles in impact journals, analyses the scientific publications on the Web of Science (WOS) linked to the training of educators in museums. The quantitative and qualitative analysis of the main characteristics of these contents leads us to affirm that education on museums and heritage is an emerging line of research. Although it is a sector in which there are some difficulties translating the richness and diversity of education in museums to the academic and researcher world. In particular, the WOS does not have a prominent content in the general theme of mediation in museums and, in particular, the training of these professionals. In the final 51 articles selected, the publications coming from Spanish universities or institutions have an outstanding weight. In summary, it is necessary to support the presence of the professional reality of museums in academic research circuits, improving reflection and analysis on the preparation and training of these professionals.
