兒童科學園展示評量先導研究

A Pilot Research on an Evaluation Plan for the Children's Science Center

國立科學工藝博物館兒童科學園在短短五年中，完成三個展廳的整體展示更新，雖然在觀眾滿意度調查和參觀人數統計都獲得肯定，但對於展場所賦予的教育、娛樂、社會互動功能是否達成，實需更嚴謹合理的評估規劃和執行，才能獲得兒童展示開發的基本概念和原則，有助於後續展場修正補強以及相關展示的規劃發展。本文為兒童科學園評量規劃的前導研究，首先針對展示評量的方法進行探究，依執行時機區分為形成前、形成式、補救性、總結性四種評量，分別論述其執行目的和進行方法。並從觀眾友善的觀點嘗試找出兒童展示規劃的重點及操作介面注意要項，釐清適合兒童和家庭觀眾的互動展示設計、評量規準訂定的依循重點，有助於下一階段展示評量方式的確認和執行。

In just five years, an overall exhibit update has been completed in three exhibition halls of the Children's Science Center at the National Science and Technology Museum. Although the audience satisfaction surveys and visitor statistics are positive, a more reasonable and rigorous assessment on whether these exhibits have reached the function of education, entertainment and social interaction or not are still needed. This article evaluates the planning and implementation of these functions to obtain basic concepts and principles of children exhibition development. It helps reinforce follow-up exhibitions and related amendments in exhibition planning and development. This is a pilot research on the Children's Science Center evaluation plan. The purpose and method of exhibit evaluation are discussed in accordance with the execution time including front-end, formative, remedial and summative evaluation. Also, it presents the exhibit planning focus and display interface for children from an audience-friendly perspective. It clarifies suitable interactive exhibit designs for kids and family and sets up some evaluation criteria. It will help confirm and execute a method of exhibit evaluation for the next phase.
