科学教育与博物馆

展品是博物馆最主要、最有代表性的传播/教育资源,也是不同于其他传播/教育机构最有特色的传播媒介。从展品承载和传播信息的特性入手,分析研究科技博物馆科学传播/教育的特征,会发现展品不仅承载了知识信息,还蕴含了与当代科学教育理念、目标对应的过程与方法、情感态度价值观层面的信息,且使受众通过体验和探究获得"直接经验",这与大多数传播/教育媒介主要传播"间接经验"有本质区别。为发挥科技博物馆独特的传播/教育价值与优势,须揭示并传播多层面科学信息,充分实现"基于实物的体验式学习、基于实践的探究式学习、多样化学习"传播/教育特征。这也是科技博物馆开发传播/教育产品的基本思路。

Exhibits are the most important and representative of the museum 's communication/education resources, and are also the most distinctive communication media that is different from other communicational/educational institutions. Starting with the characteristics of exhibits bearing and information dissemination, it is possible to find out the characteristics of science communication/education in science and technology museums: Exhibits not only contain knowledge and information,but also contain the process and method corresponding to the concept and target of contemporary science education, and the information of emotion, attitude and value, and the audience through experience and exploration to obtain"direct experience". This is essentially different from the majority of communication/education media based on "indirect experience". In order to give full play to the unique communication/education value and advantages of science and technology museums, it is necessary to reveal and disseminate scientific information at different levels. Only in this way can we fully realize "material based experiential learning, practice based inquiry learning, diversified learning", communication/education characteristics. This is also the basic idea of the science and technology museum to develop communication/education products.
