摘要

博物館為重要社會教育機構，以專業研究與多元館藏提供民眾非正式的學習機會。本研究主要探討科學類博物館中一般民眾的學習成效，並以國立海洋科學博物館為研究場域。總計有效回收樣本數為244，問卷分前後測，於參觀前後針對「認知」層面進行學習成效評量。評量結果顯示，此次特展不分性別、教育程度以及參觀經驗，全面性的提升參觀民眾對於帆船的認識；顯示透過適當的展示設計，將有助於提升觀眾「認知」層面的學習。由於博物館教育為非正式教育場域，情境與社會因素皆可能影響觀眾學習成效，因此建議未來博物館學習評量研究，可加入社會性考量，以反映博物館之社會角色。

Museums are considered as important social education institutes, as they provide people with opportunities of informal learning through research and collection. This research, takes the National Museum of Marine Science and Technology (NMMST) as case study, aims on understanding the learning outcomes of the general public in science museums. We have collected 244 valid samples in total and the questionnaire consists of two parts for the visitors to fill out before and after their visits. The result shows that with the appropriate design, the exhibition of NMMST has increased the visitors' understandings of the exhibited topic, regardless visitor's gender, education level and visiting experiences. Furthermore, as museum education is considered as informal learning, learning surroundings and social context will also influence visitors' learning outcomes; therefore, a future research is advised to include social factors in the evaluation process.
