發展多元行動者之科技議題交流平台：成大博物館科學市集概念的理論和實踐探討

Building a Multifunctional Science Communication Platform with Diverse Actors: The Theory and Practice Behind the Science Agora Organized by National Cheng Kung University Museum

大學博物館透過研究、蒐集典藏任務作為校園內文化場域的同時，也發揮展示和教育推廣功能；不僅在校內扮演非制式教育場域，亦可對外作為回應社會當代議題、連結社區居民之學術、意見交流的場域。發源於日本的科學市集（Science Agora），場域中包含不同領域、行動者、年齡層，建構出的科技溝通平台，活動方式與內容多元，使行動者於溝通過程中進而產生新的價值觀。
本研究以日本科學市集概念與辦理方式為發想，嘗試以具科普推廣與展示活動經驗之成大博物館作為多元科技溝通平台，於2019年底舉辦實驗型的小規模科學市集。本研究運用行動者網絡理論（ANT），探討不同關係者溝通關係，以及藉由分析科學市集活動觀眾回饋問卷與半結構式訪談結果，探討1.科學市集活動中多元行動者之間的互動關係，以及2.科學市集作為大學研究單位傳遞科技知識、大眾接觸科學議題雙向溝通平台的可行性。
本研究結果顯示，此次成大博物館舉辦之科學市集，除各關係者的溝通互動之外，亦結合大學博物館展示的功能，透過多元化的科技溝通方式，達到傳達科技知識、提升民眾科學或科技議題認知與興趣的多元科技溝通平台目的。而行動者網絡理論也有助於活動籌辦者，準確了解行動者所扮演的角色與目的，以利溝通平台整體運作。

University museums serve as cultural venues on campus through research, collection, and exhibition tasks, but also as a place for exhibitions and promotions of educational purposes. Besides providing informal education on campus, it also responds to contemporary social issues through connecting and exchanging academic opinions and ideas amid neighboring communities. Originating from Japan, the idea of Science Agora is to build a Science & Technology (S&T) Forum invites actors from different fields and generations to join diverse activities and generate new values through interactions among actors.
Based on the concept and practice of Science Agora in Japan, this research attempts to turn National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) Museum into a multifunctional science communication platform as well as S&T Forum. Having been experienced in organizing science promotions and exhibitions, the museum successfully pulled together a small-scale experimental science agora at the end of 2019. With the use of actor-network theory (ANT), this research intends to open a discussion concerning communications between people of different actors. Through analyzing questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, this research shall examine 1. interactions between diverse actors in the Science Agora, and 2. the feasibility of using Science Agora as a bilateral communication platform in a higher education research institute to enhance the promotion of knowledge in science and technology amongst the general public.
The research results indicate the Science Agora to be a success in communication and promotion knowledge of science and technology. With public awareness and interest in technological topics being raised through the Science Agora organized by National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) Museum, the original exhibition function of the university museum now facilitates bilateral communications and interactions between various actors. With the ANT theory at hand, the organizers were able to pinpoint the roles and purposes of various actors to carry out the operation of the science communication platform.
