科學展示中的漫畫印象

A Study of Visitors' Perspective on Science Exhibition with Comic Appearance

長久以來，人們便以漫畫來呈現知識，因為圖像深具魅力，同時也是除了語言與文字之外，現今學習環境中另一種有效溝通媒介。依著科學概念結合漫畫可以促進科學普及和快樂學習的概念，國立科學工藝博物館之「探索90%的未知－－丁肇中與基本粒子特展」以漫畫版的科學展示主題為設計方向，嘗試將圖表板以輕鬆有趣之漫畫方式呈現。本文即以該特展為場域，進行觀眾之觀察及訪談，以探究觀眾對該特展圖表板以漫畫手法呈現的反應與觀感。研究發現，雖然韓見眾對展廳中印象最深刻的是儀器模型，但對圖表板的漫畫手法多表肯定，認為用漫畫表現科學有助於對展示内容的理解、吸引觀眾目光、打破對物理高深的刻板印象，但也認為應注意文字數量、内容淺顯、動態呈現、標示順序、繪圖風格統一等問題。本文最後依據研究結果提出相關建議，以供科學主題展示規劃設計之參考。

Because of the attractiveness of comic graphics, for a long time, people have tried to explain knowledge by images and graphics, especially using comic cartoons. Besides, comic cartoons became an alternative communication media for educators to transmit knowledge. It is known that science concept expressed by comic graphic will attract students' learning. The 'Explore 90% Unknown Samuel C. C. Ting and the Particle' exhibition at the National Science and Technology Museum, Taiwan tried to use it in the exhibitions. This study applied qualitative approach to investigate visitor's perspective on this science exhibition with comic graphic panels. The hidden tracing and semi-structured interviews were applied to collect data from visitors. By analyzing the qualitative data, this study found that visitors did appreciate the comic graphics which was helpful for them to know more about the exhibited science content, though there were also comments about the amount of words on the display panel, the comic consistency etc. This study also concluded three practical suggestions for developing such kind of science exhibitions.
