이 연구의 목적은 과학교육적인 관점에서 국내 자연사박물관의 전시특성을 조사하는데 있다. 이 연구를 위해 국내의 대표적인 네 곳의 자연사박물관에서 244 종류의 자연사 관련 전시물을 대상으로 조사를 하였다. 조사를 위해 본 연구는 7개 항목으로 구성된 체크리스트를 사용했는데 각 항목들은 과학관과 자연사 박물관의 전시특성을 다루었던 기존의 문헌을 바탕으로 한 것이다. 또한 과학교육적인 측면은 Hein(1995)의 연구를 기초로 하였다. 국내 자연사 박물관에 대한 조사 결과는 각기 특성있고 긍정적인 결과를 얻었으나, 국외의 유명한 자연사박물관에 비교할 때 보다 많은 과학교육적 전시특성의 개발이 필요하다.

This paper examines the approaches to science operational exhibitions and storytelling to enhancing visitors of the National Lighthouse Museum of Korea. Through this case, our museum aims to share its directions of the scientific exhibition and development direction of the Aids to Navigation Heritage Museum. The exhibition content was storytelling to naturally guide the flow along the story, and the exhibition coordinating was designed as an experiential exhibition so that visitors could interestingly experience the scientific principles applied to navigation signs.

This study investigated to describe how the nature of science is revealed in the four natural history museums in Korea. Natural history museums are well considered as informal settings of education, and the nature of science has been one of major topics stressed in science education. Therefore, the revelation of this topic is supposedly reflected in developing museum exhibitions. In each of the four target natural history museum or natural history exhibition, the representative exhibits subtitled by scientific inquiry and cases dealing with history of science were selected for the study. The analyzing exhibits focused on whether exhibitions were labeled with emphasis on declarative description or interpretative one. In analyzing the contents, the focus was on the concerns of scientists, scientific community, social and cultural aspects, uncertainty of scientific knowledge, and providing sufficient evidences. All things considered, it was hard to conclude that every target exhibit clearly considered the nature of science as an essential element, in designing and developing their exhibitions. More deliberate input of nature of science is suggested for worldly renowned natural history museums, because previous researches keep insisting that the nature of science would be more efficiently achieved in an informal educational setting rather than in classrooms.

몽골의 수도 울란바토르의 중심부에 위치한 몽골 자연사박물관은 1924년 국립박물관으로 개관한 후 1954년 현재의 건물로 이전하여 공룡화석을 비롯한 희귀한 자연사 표본들이 전시되고 있다. 1층에는 다양한 광물 및 암석표본이, 2층에는 7천만년 전의 각종 실물 공룡화석 등이 눈길을 끈다. 또 3층에는 몽골에서 서식하는 사슴ㆍ낙타ㆍ곰 등이 전시되고 있다.

The purpose of this study is to isolate characteristics of exhibits particularly considering educational perspectives and effectiveness in attracting the attention of visitors in famous Natural History Museums. The target exhibits were selected from the Natural History museum in London, the Australian Museum in Sydney, the American Museum of Natural History in New York, and the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C. A total of 107 sample exhibits used in this study from these four museums were selected as representative solid earth science education related exhibitions including fossils, geological history, and minerals. For the investigation, this study developed a checklist with seven items based on reviewing previous literature and articles pertaining to exhibit characteristics of natural history museums and science centers. Also the educational perspectives focused on classifications of exhibitions by Hein (1997). In this study, all the sample exhibit, were taken pictures of and stored on slide films for lated examination. Respectively exciting and positive results were found in all four museums. The analyses, however, indicated weaknesses as well as strengths in the four museum exhibits.

우리나라 대부분의 과학관에는 천문시설이 갖추어져 있고, 천문분야 전시와 교육이 어느 정도는 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 자연사박물관에서는 천문분야가 주요 분야로 인정받고 있지 못하고 그 내용도 빈약한 편이다. 수도권에서 매우 중요한 역할을 하고, 연간 35만 명 정도의 관람객이 방문하고 있는 서대문자연사박물관에도 일부 천문 전시가 있긴 하지만 다른 분야에 비해 매우 빈약하다. 자연의 역사를 다루는 자연사박물관에서 우주의 탄생으로 보여주는 천문학은 중요한 역할을 차지할 여지가 있고, 실제 해외 유명 자연사박물관에서는 천문 분야가 큰 비중을 차지하고 있다. 국립자연사박물관의 건설도 추진되고 있는 상황에서 자연사박물관에서의 천문전시와 교육이 어떤 방향으로 이루어져야 할지 논의해 보았으면 한다.

This article explores the potential learning materials and methods of science practice from exhibits, and how those are presented in natural history museums as a feasible science inquiry community. The idea of science inquiry community was offered as a form of science practice that ended with science learning. A grasp of 'scientific practice to learning' is understood as a way to conceive scientific methods as well as facts and understanding knowledge. To get educational implications on the scientific practice of 'earthquake' as a socioscientific topic in the communities, we analyzed 1) the relationship between earth science curriculum and exhibits related to 'earthquake', 2) the educational goals and intentions of educators, and 3) the characteristics of the exhibits in the American Museum of Natural History and in the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. The results of this study showed that those museums presented the exhibits consisting of various and practical cases and events of 'earthquakes' as a socioscientific topic related to their curriculum. At the target museum, it was clearly stated that the pursuing educational goals focused on relations with local interests and socioscientific issues. For making earthquakes relevant to visitors, delivering lived experiences with raw data and interactive media was emphasized in exhibit characteristics.

Natural history museums used to be called an "informal learning institute". It is based on the assumption that their exhibition and exhibits are supposed to reflect school science curriculum and support school science programs. This study is to explore how this assumption is verified in terms of content-wise connections between school science and museum exhibits. In this study, 461 Earth Science related exhibits were selected from the Smithonian Museums and the American Museum of Natural History in the U.S. and analyzed with several instruments. The instrument targeting on Earth Science curriculum was framed based on the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (1993) and the National Science Curriculum Standards (1996). Other than content-wise connections, this study investigated exhibition characteristics related to better learning of science: these characteristics were types of activities, exhibition media, exhibition technology, and presentation methods. The nature of science shown in exhibits were examined as well. Natural history museums were reconsidered for their relevance and potential as informal educational venues from this study.

지역 박물관은 대도시의 대규모 박물관에 비하여 전시물의 양과 질 그리고 관람객의 접근성에 있어서 열세에 있다. 이러한 가운데 최근 과학기술 문화사업 시행계획에 의한 중점 추진 전략으로써 지방 테마과학관 지원사업이 실행되고 있다. 지역 박물관중 특히 과학관은 어린이와 청소년층의 교육에 크게 도움이 되는 전시를 특징으로 하며 현재 세계 각국에서 다양한 주제로 관람객의 방문을 유도하고있다. 현재 우리나라의 지방 과학관은 주제의 편협성과 규모의 열세 등의 약점이 있는데 이러한 부분을 보완할 방안으로써 체험전시를 통한 어린이와 청소년 계층의 이용 활성화를 유도하여 지역 문화 발전과 관광객 유치에도 도움이 되리라 보는 바이다.
