Abstract
This chapter presents a study born from the necessity of carrying out a diagnostic analysis of the relationship between schools and archaeological museums. The study focuses on 18 categories organized into five subgroups with the aim of achieving the following objectives: designing the MUSELA DO and MUSELA EDU questionnaires and analyzing their psychometric characteristics (content validity, internal consistency, and construct validity), estimating the vision presented by educational agents regarding museums and school visits, describing the collaboration which is established between archaeological museums and schools according to the educational agents, and specifying the planning of school field trips to archaeological museums from the perspective of the educational agents. The research methodology is based on a quantitative research design employing an instrumental research method (analysis of the psychometric properties of the tools) and an empirical research method via an ex post facto study.
