從科學教具到互動展示：奇幻國展廳建置的大考驗

From Scientific Teaching Aids to Interactive Exhibitions：Construction Challenges in the Magicland Exhibition Hall

國立科學工藝博物館致力於科普教育推廣，配合各項常設展示與特展主題，開發出眾多的活動教材與教具，這些教具在歷經多次數、多人數使用的市場挑戰後，兼具了學習與娛樂的特質，成為博物館的特色和資產。配合兒童科學園奇幻國展廳的建置，以教育人員為主體的策展團隊，憑藉多年累積的教具開發成果與經驗，決定直接參與展品設計，希望能為觀眾設計出較理想的參觀環境與互動展品。本文從博物館的學習理論、兒童與家庭觀眾展示設計要點以及互動展品操作介面設計進行探討，再介紹策展團隊在發展互動展品的歷程中，所依循的理念和考量要點，並用實際的範例進行說明。深厚的研究基礎是規劃一個成功展示的基石，與展示設計、製作承包廠商的夥伴關係是達成展示目標的推手，本文最後以展廳開放後初步的現場觀察記錄統計結果，概略的進行工作成果的檢核，並以為未來發展正式評量工具的基礎。

The National Science and Technology Museum has been long devoted to popular science education. The museum has developed a variety of teaching activities and aids according to the different themes in permanent and temporary exhibits. Those teaching aids have been tested many times by multiple market challenges. With learning and entertainment features, these teaching aids have become unique assets in the museum.The core staff in the exhibition planning group for Magicland exhibit is from the museum education department. With years of development experiences in teaching aids, the planning group aims to design and provide a more interactive exhibition to visitors by involving directly in exhibit design. Based on the museum learning theory this research explores the key points of interface design for children and family audiences as well as interactive exhibits. The core concept and consideration in developing interactive exhibits is further explored and some practical examples are integrated into this paper.Solid research is the foundation for a successful exhibition. A good partnership with design and construction companies helps achieve exhibition goals. Some in-field observation statistics were collected after the exhibition was opened to the public. In the last part of this article, these statistics are applied to review the achievement of the whole project. These results will be developed into formal surveying tools in the future.
