科學博物館辦理節水教育活動推廣之成效分析

A Study on the Effects of the Science Museum's 'Water-saving' Activities

科學博物館與公部門合作以「節水」為主題，在博物館場域中透過生活科技教育方式進行推廣，是落實水資源教育的創新概念。本研究以2014年國立科學工藝博物館舉辦的「節水教育推廣活動」參與民眾為研究對象，透過前後測問卷調查，探析民眾參與活動後節水概念上的轉變，另配合訪談探究其影響因素與實證資料間的關係，同時了解於生活中執行節水行動的意願。從量化與質化資料的分析，本研究主要有下列三點發現：一、民眾參與活動後，整體節水科技概念的理解確實有所增長，其中「基礎」及「節流」兩項科技概念的理解優於「再利用」科技概念。二、參與節水教育推廣活動後，民眾表示願意於日常生活中落實節水行動，且以裝設節水器材居多。三、節水科技概念透過具體事物或生活經驗的傳達，較容易引發民眾的學習興趣。本次研究因礙於活動時間上的侷限，仍有未盡周全之處，且研究結果發現民眾對於水再利用科技概念方面的理解及具體行動執行意願較低，建議未來可針對「水再利用」概念的理解與生活應用進一步研究，並對民眾後續的節水行動進行追蹤了解，研究將更具價值性。

The innovation concept of executing water saving resource training is through by living technology on the cooperation of science museum and government institution for the theme of “water-saving”. This study took the visitors who joined the water-saving activities of 2014, conducted by the National Science and Technology Museum as the research subjects. Questionnaires responded before and after the activities by visitors to understand their changes of water-saving concepts. Furthermore, interviews were applied to find the influenced factor and testify the data collected from surveys; meanwhile, to understand the visitors' intention of practicing water-saving behavior. Analyzing both the quantitative and qualitative data result in the findings as follow: 1. Visitors displayed higher improvement on water-saving technology concepts which the “basic” and “saving” were better comprehend than “re-use”, after participating in the activities. 2. Visitors were like to practice water-saving acts in their daily lives, such as equipping water-saving tools were the most, after participating in the activities. 3. Connecting Water-saving technology concepts with concrete objects or life experiences were easier for visitors to elicit learning interests. This study has limit time and research subjects. Furthermore, a study finding showed that visitors presented less comprehension and lower acting-motivation of the concept “re-use”. Further research about understanding and life application of “re-use” were suggested to continue. Added to this, tracing the differences between visitors' water-saving behavior before and after activities was also a helpful review.
