효선제가 국가 공신의 상을 그려서 걸었다는 중국은 기린각. 로큰롤의 성립 발전에 기여한 인물을 기리기 위한 미국의 로큰롤 명예의 전당. 이제 과학인들도 명예의 전당에 오를 수있게 되었다. 과학기술의 발전 및 과학기술인의 자긍심을 높이자는 취지로 시작된 명예의 전당은 고려 말에서 현재에 이르기까지 뛰어난 과학자를 선정하여 논문 등 연구성과를 보존, 전시하는 사업이다. 우선 과학기술부와 한국과학문화재단은 이달 중으로 서울과학관 내에 200평의 공간을 마련하기로 하고, 2006년 경기도 과천에 국립과학관이 완공되며 1층 전시공간을 1000평으로 확대할 계획이다. 이번에 선정된 14인은 인물선정위원회가 과학기술 단체 기관 등이 추천한 과학기술인을 대상으로 국가발전 기여도와 세계적 영향력 등을 평가하여 결정한 인물들이다. 또한 매년 4명 정도를 추가로 선정해 2006년까지 30명 선으로 늘릴 예정이다. 과학기술인 명예의 전당은 과학기술 존중의 분위기를 조성할 것으로 기대된다. 1차로 선정된 14인 가운데 현존하고 있는 안동혁, 최형섭, 이호왕 박사를 만나보았다.

전체적으로 소방관의 현장대응활동 중 매년 안전사고가 급증하고 있는 현실을 고려할 때 국립방재연구소가 안행부 소속의 독립연구기관로 운영되듯 소방관의 실질적인 화재안전활동과 현장 초기진화를 위한 소방전문연구기관의 설립이 필요하고, 소속 또한 중앙소방학교내 센터가 아닌 소방방재청 산하 국립소방과학연구원의 독립기관으로 설립이 필요함과 동시 그 타당성을 실증해주었다.

This study is to investigate the direction for management of informal science education center by survey of participants' satisfaction and implication. The place to study was Gwacheon National Science Museum in Kyung-gi province. $4,322m^2$ for the education space can make education done effectively. And attendees of their own education program are over 10,000 per year. 87 students who attend education program and 78 of their parents joined the survey of participants' satisfaction. The results of this study show that most of the participants want informal science education center to be able to make up for school education in part of promoting scientific literacy, heuristic method and scientific attitude. Things to be improved were feedback about student activity, segmentation of the education program for each grade, public relations exercise of program and advanced method of teaching based on each subject of classes. As ideas for improvement, it seemed that making long term program for continuous participant, limiting participant appropriately, developing guide manual of teaching, improving publicity of program were required.

This study is based on the assertion that science museums should consider visitors' views and expectations as they are not satisfied in many cases. In this study, we investigated 31 scientifically gifted students and 177 science high school students about their image of science museums. Using the questionnaire, it was found that only 51% of students visited science museums; however, the average number of visits was 4.2. This means that students tended to re-visit after the first visit of the science museum. Students had a 'good' image of science museums when they incurred hands-on experiences and observed new, interesting, curious and funny exhibits. And students had a 'bad' image of science museums due to the following aspects: lack of new and interesting exhibits, information and guide, diverse contents, and hands-on experience; deficiencies in environment; and inadequacy of the management, operation and composition of exhibits. Therefore, they hoped that science museums will provide more hands-on experiences and experiments, new and interesting exhibits, systematic management and composition of exhibits, information and guides, and a good environment. So science museums need to pay special attention to aspects like management, information guides and environment for the first-time visitors. Based on the above results, we suggested "Directions for a good science museum based on students' views". While asking students what topics they wanted to know and learn in a science museum, each student was given the choice of four topics; eventually, 2.9 answers overlapped for each topic. When classifying students' topics into four main themes for the Gwangju National Science Museum, the order from the most popular theme to the least one was 'science in everyday life', 'ocean/space/future science', 'light and science', and 'culture, art and science'. Among the topics mentioned by students, only 37% are exhibited in Seoul, Gwacheon, Daejeon, or Gwangju science museums. We hope that the results and research methods will be used for evaluation, re-construction, and reinvigorated presentation of science museums.

In this study, we analyzed exhibitions and programs of Daegu National Science Museum in terms of levels of science communication and domains of scientific literacy. Also, we surveyed visitors' perceptions on the exhibitions. As results of analysis on science communication level, 48.3% of exhibitions and programs corresponded to the 1st generation level, 49.0% corresponded to the 2nd generation level, and 2.7% corresponded to the 3rd generation level. In terms of domains of scientific literacy, the contents on 'design world' and 'the nature of technology' got a majority. Also, the results of visitors' perceptions on the exhibitions showed they preferred active exhibitions, that is the 2nd generation. It is recommended to develop more 3rd generation exhibitions and programs based on the paradigm shift about the role of science museums. And it is also recommended to carry out the task to raise consciousness of citizens about scientific literacy and science communication.
