創新科技的展示詮釋──以「創新傷口癒合」單元為例

Exhibition and Interpretation of Innovative Technology: A Case on ''Innovative Wound Healing''

科學家以改善人類生活為目標不斷研發具獨創性的概念或技術，了解這些創新科技可以讓一般人跟上世界的脈動，而科學博物館即是展示及推廣的極佳平台。然而，這些科技研發的最終目的雖然貼近生活問題，但往往因為過高的專業知識門檻而無法被大眾理解和接受。如何有效地將這些專業的知識轉化或簡化為大眾所知悉，是博物館展示的重要課題。在創新科技的轉化過程中，必須考慮的因素包含專業資料的篩選簡化以及呈現的完整性、引發觀眾興趣等。由於轉化主題為生醫領域的「奈米粒子如何藉由釋放二氧化碳達到加速傷口癒合的效果」，過程極微觀，肉眼不可見，且實際療程無法讓觀眾在短暫的參觀時間內完全體驗，如何解決觀眾無法想像的問題，成為展示規劃設計上的著眼點。為得知觀眾對於「創新傷口癒合」單元的觀感印象、所蘊涵的核心知識的理解面向，以及對此前瞻研究的整體看法，透過觀眾參觀後的訪談資料整理結果，本研究結論如下：就科學家想解決傷口加速癒合問題的想法、博物館想讓民眾引起對科學探究的興趣來說，此單元將知識內容具象化，有助於相關核心知識的訊息傳播；從理解面向來看，觀眾參觀後多能知曉為何二氧化碳可以促進傷口癒合，但對於理解的多寡取決於概念知識的順序串連以及諸多專有名詞的障礙跨越；透過展示內容條理呈現，觀眾對於創新研究未來實際應用多頗有期待，此單元應已傳遞科學研究的重點價值，達到將科研轉化為科普展示的目標。

Scientists continually develop innovative concepts or technologies for the purpose of improving human lives. Understanding these innovative technologies enables a normal person to keep up with the world. Science museums offer an ideal platform for displaying and promoting such technologies. Although the ultimate goal of this technological research and development is to address problems in people's daily lives, the general public is often unable to understand and accept the ideas in question due to the exorbitant professional knowledge thresholds required. Methods for effectively transforming or simplifying professional knowledge to render it accessible to the general public are an important topic for a museum exhibition. During the transformation of innovative technologies, factors that require consideration include the screening and simplification of professional information, the completeness of the exhibition, and the ability to engage the audience. In the biomedical field, ''how nanoparticles accelerate wound heal by releasing carbon dioxide'' is a microscopic process that is invisible to the naked eye. In addition, the treatment cannot be completely witnessed by the audience within a short viewing time. Therefore, solving the problem of the audience's inability to imagine processes has become the focus of exhibition and planning design. To ascertain the audience's impressions of the ''innovative wound healing'' unit, their comprehension of the core knowledge conveyed, and the general opinions on the pioneering research involved, interviews were arranged with audience members after their museum visits. The conclusions of this study are as follows: For the thoughts on scientists trying to solve the problem of accelerating wound healing as well as the museum attempting to attract people's interest in scientific inquiry, this unit makes the knowledge content concrete, facilitating the propagation of relevant core knowledge. After the museum visit, most of the audience members were able to understand why carbon dioxide facilitates wound healing, but the level of comprehension depended on the concatenation order of the conceptual knowledge as well as on whether the obstacle of the extensive onomasticon was overcome. The audience had high expectations regarding the practical applications of innovative research, and this unit transmitted the key values of scientific research, succeeding in transforming scientific research into a popular science exhibition.
