  • This study examines secondary school science teachers' use of science museums in their teaching and their perception/evaluation/utilization of the educational programs in Korean science museums. We found that teachers do not use science museums in close connection with their formal education; therefore, the students' experiences usually are minimal or are personal experiences. The main reason for this infrequent use of science museums is not because of their insignificant educational effects, but because of the lack of external and administrative support systems. Science teachers want the museums to have structured/organized programs such as science camps or experiments and a lending program which would provide experimental equipment and exhibits relevant to the school science curriculum. 90% of teachers who answered the survey wanted to participate in developing and managing the educational programs of science museums. The educational programs would be used more effectively in relation to formal science learning if the science teachers, who are science education professionals, participated in managing and planning the educational programs of science museums.

  • 본 연구에서는 초등학교 교사를 대상으로 과학관의 교수-학습에 활용 현황 및 교육 프로그램에 대한 요구를 조사하였다. 연구 결과, 지금까지 과학관은 학교 교육과 밀접한 관계를 가지고 운영되지 못하였으며, 주로 일회적이거나 개인적인 활동으로 과학관 경험이 끝나는 경우가 많았음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 과학관이 교수-학습에 많이 이용되지 못하는 것은 그 교육적 효과가 미미해서보다는 외부의 물적 행정적 지원의 부족으로 인함을 알 수 있었다. 교사들이 선호하는 과학관 교육 프로그램은 캠프나 실험 등의 학생 위탁 프로그램과 학교 교육과 정과 관련된 전시물이었으며, 교사들에게 과학관과 관련된 다양한 활동에 참여하기를 물어본 결과 설문 대상의 약 80%의 교사가 과학관 학생 위탁 프로그램 개발, 과학관 투어, 캠프, 실험 등의 과학관 위탁 프로그램 운영 담당, 과학관 중심 교사 커뮤니티에의 참여, 과학관 방문 전후 프로그램 개발 등에 참여를 희망하였다.

  • This study was to examine elementary students' expectations on informal science learning in science museums which have characteristics of free choice learning. $5^{th}$ and $6^{th}$ grade students in two different elementary schools in Gyeonggi province participated in the survey and 330 samples were collected. Subcategories for the survey were categorized on the basis of review of the literature about the learning outcomes from science museums. The survey instruments were developed following the idea of each subcategory from the learning in science museums and a content validity of the survey instruments was checked. The results were as follows: Generally students' had high expectations of all subcategories and developing their interests in science through science museums was confirmed the most. Moreover, expectations on learning in science museums were differences between gender and grade. Finally, it was found that grade differences of expectations on learning in science museums were affected by intrinsic motivation, and empirical activity were affecting the gender differences of those. Based on the results of study, elementary students could confirm that the science museums had the important values and possibility as a field of informal science learning. And this study implied that the science museums could enhance more educational roles of informal science learning.

  • Purpose: This study is a prior study for expanding the science museum's online services. Based on case studies, we propose an online service for science museums in the future. Research design, data, and methodology: This study analyzed online-based science museums services trends. The data was collected based on the cases of five national science museums. To understand the characteristics of science museum's online services, we analyzed the status of digital content provided by each science museum and the operation method of online special exhibitions. Result: The national science museums provided online services through virtual science museums, SNS, and YouTube. However, the services still imposed limitation on facilitating active learning for visitors. In the case of SNS and YouTube, it is only a one-time promotional tool. Conclusion: This study suggests the need for concrete measures to utilize the abundant content accumulated so far in actual education. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of content development incorporating new platforms.

  • 과학박물관은 과학기술 유물의 수집, 보존, 연구, 전시를 통해 과학과 그것의 역사적 배경에 대한 깊이 있는 시각을 제공하며, 사이언스 센터는 직접적인 조작과 실험을 통해 과학에 대한 흥미를 유발시킴과 동시에 과학원리를 교육하는 기능을 수행한다. 그러나 과학박물관에 나열된 유물이나 사이언스 센터의 작동모형이 정치, 경제, 문화, 예술, 위험, 환경 등과 복잡하게 얽혀 있는 현대 과학을 이해하는데 충분한 안목을 길러주지는 못한다. 이 글은 21세기 우리의 과학(박물)관이 나아가야 할 방향을 정립하는데 있어 제 1세대인 과학박물관과 제 2세대인 사이언스 센터의 장점은 살리면서 한계를 극복해 나가려는 시도가 필요함을 주장한다. 본문에서는 우선 서구에서 과학박물관과 사이언스 센터가 어떻게 탄생하였으며 그 사회적 역할과 최근 동향은 어떠한지를 살펴볼 것이다. 또한 한국 과학관의 역사를 국립과학관을 중심으로 짚어 봄으로써 한국 사회에서 과학관의 현주소를 밝혀 보고자 한다. 이어서 국내외 과학박물관과 사이언스 센터에서 보여주고 있는 변화의 움직임을 과학과 예술과의 접목, 사회적 공론의 장이 되는 과학박물관 전시, 신개념의 사이언스 센터와 같은 사례를 통해서 살펴보고, 이러한 시도들이 가지는 의미를 탐색해 볼 것이다. 끝으로 '광장'으로서의 제 3세대 과학(박물)관이 과학의 '공공이해를 넘어서 '공공참여'까지 이끌어내는 사회적 기능을 수행해야 한다는 의미에서, PUS와 과학(박물)관의 관련성에 대해서 논의하며, 이러한 논의들이 현재 한국 사회의 과학(박물)관의 현실에서 지니는 의미와 시사점을 이 글의 마지막에서 제시할 것이다.것을 전제로 생명을 창조하는 것을 허락하는 배아복제에 참여하면서 "생명" 수호자의 정체성을 부여받는 것이 각기 내포하는 모순에 대해 여성이 어떻게 순을하고 타협하고 저항할지에 따라 배아복제 연구의 방향과 속도가 달라질 것이다.

  • The purpose of this study is to obtain more insight into the explanation and prognosis of consumer behavior in real and virtual museums. The analysis focuses on the influence of the museum environment on the museum patrons (rather than on the influence of the art objects). On the basis of the emotional approach to environmental psychology by Mehrabian and Russell (1974), a behavior model has been developed for museums. The model, which is based on the emotional variables pleasure, arousal and dominance (PAD), is also enhanced by cognitive variabies (learning attractiveness, education standard and information demand). The enhancement of the classical model was necessary because cognitive variables play a major role in cultural institutions such as museums: One important objective of museums is the communication of cultural knowledge to visitors. The model is tested empirically using structural equation modeling. 301 visitors were interviewed individually. Two different museum environments were represented using visual stimuli. The theoretical model for museums can be proved empirically. The degree to which the model fits the empirical data was extensively tested. The model showed high compatibility with the data and could be accepted. The study proves that a model can be developed, which explains visitor behavior in museums. The model shows museum designers how museums should be designed to be both emotionally appealing and a learning environment. Based on empirical studies in virtual stores on the Internet, it is discussed whether the research findings in these environments may be applied to virtual museum environments. In order to create an emotionally appealing virtual museum, it is recommended that one uses a 3-dimensional representation to offer various possibilities for interaction and to create a multi-sensual environment that appears highly realistic.

  • The purpose of this study was to examine a) each of the selected science museums for its role in educating on ethical issues in science and technology, b) what are the most frequently dealt ethical themes in science and technology; c) how were those themes presented (via exhibition, play, panel, movies, etc); and d) identify common characteristics in the selected science museums' presentations of ethical issues. The results indicated that selected museums present ethical issues related to technology development, mainly on biotechnology and environmental issues. The type of presentations dealing with ethical issues most frequently were exhibitions, panels and simulations, followed by demonstrations and lectures. All of the selected museums had common characteristics for actively taking an educational role in ethical issues in science. The study suggests that efforts to communicate the ethical issues in various areas should be reinforced to educate students and the public, and that it may be the museum's role to expose ethical aspects of technology related to human rights, dignity, health and development issues from the early stage of its development.

  • The purpose of this study is to explore characteristics of on-line teaching materials on websites of natural history museums, particularly with regard to educational perspectives and the nature of science. The target resources were selected from the websites of the Natural History Museum in London, the Australian Museum in Sydney, the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, and the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C.. A total of twelve on-line resources from these museums used in this study were selected as representative informal science teaching materials. For the investigation, this study developed a checklist with a total of nine items that were grounded on mostly reviewing previous literature and articles focusing on educational perspectives of natural history museums and science centers. Exciting and positive results were found in all four museums. The analyses, however, indicated weaknesses as well as strengths in on-line resources regarding their usages as informal science teaching venues.
