Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop the exhibition model of children's science museum for children and to present the guideline for the exhibition of children's science museum. To this end, we proposed an exhibition of 'body', 'surrounding things', and 'natural phenomenon' as exhibition topics based on the exhibit evaluation framework and kindergarten curriculum. The direction and color elements are important for the exhibition of 'the body', and the presentation of the 'natural phenomenon' is suitable for the use of contextual media applying color and lighting. And it can be said that it is important to provide clues and fixtures for exploring objects based on the theme of 'surrounding objects'. In addition, in order to secure the validity of the developed exhibition model, we developed an exhibition link program for the 'mirror' exhibition of the exhibition model and applied it to visitors to the Gwangju Museum of Science. Therefore, it is meaningful that it provides the basic guidelines for exhibition planning, and it is necessary to plan exhibition to maximize the exhibition effect by directing exhibition contents, exhibition media and exhibition space suitable for the audience.

본 연구는 어린이를 대상으로 한 어린이과학관의 전시 모형을 개발하여 어린이과학관 전시 연출의 가이드라인을 제시하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 전시 평가 분석틀과 유치원 교육과정을 기초로 하여 전시 주제로 '신체', '주변 사물', '자연 현상'을 전시 내용으로 한 전시를 제안하였다. '신체'를 주제로 한 전시의 연출은 동선과 색상 요소가 중요하며, '자연 현상'을 주제로 한 전시의 연출은 색상과 조명의 연출을 적용한 상황적 매체의 활용이 적절하다고 할 수 있다. 그리고 '주변 사물'을 주제로 한 전시의 연출은 사물을 대상으로 탐구할 수 있도록 단서나 설치물을 제공하는 것이 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 또한, 개발한 전시 모형의 타당성을 확보하기 위하여 전시 모형의 '거울'전시물에 대한 전시 연계프로그램을 개발하여 G과학관의 어린이관 방문 관람객에게 적용한 결과, 전시 모형을 통해 반사의 개념을 이해하고 표현할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이에 관람 대상에 적합한 전시 내용과 전시 매체, 전시 공간의 연출을 통해 전시 효과를 극대화하기 위한 전시 기획이 필요하며, 전시 기획에 있어 기초적인 가이드라인을 제공한다는 점에서 의의가 있다고 할 수 있다.
