科學博物館舉辦科普講座活動成果之評量

Evaluating Audience's Outcome of Participation in Popular Science Lecture Series at a Science Museum

摘要


本研究參酌當前博物館重視觀眾學習成果之營運與研究趨勢,以國立科學工藝博物館(以下簡稱工博館)舉辦之「週日閱讀科學大師系列講座」為研究範圍,並以英國、美國近年來發展之非制式學習成果評量架構為基礎,針對參加科學大師系列演講之聽眾進行學習成果之探討。主要研究目的為瞭解參與演講聽眾之組成;瞭解聽眾參加本系列演講之動機與資訊來源;探討與比較聽眾在聽講後的學習成效。為達研究目的,本研究運用問卷調查蒐集1,436份有效問卷,以及演講後訪談24位聽眾蒐集所需資料。再以次數、百分比及卡方檢定進行量化統計分析,並針對訪談質性文本進行歸納整理。依研究目的獲致下列結論,並提出實務上後續舉辦講座,以及後續在研究議題、方法、對象等研究之建議。一、本系列講座之實際聽眾大致符合計畫預期服務對象,以大專及高中職學生(50%),及教師(21%)居多,兩者合計約佔71%;就居住地而言,以高雄縣市(71%)所佔比例較高。參加聽眾演講資訊來源以學校海報、本系列講座所設置之專屬網站及工博館網站、及親朋好友告知等三類管道為主。二、聽眾參加動機主要為外在驅力、內在動機、其他實際因素影響等三類。例如學校的要求或獎勵,高中及大學學生因學校列為寒假作業、指定為期中報告主題、高中生物精英班的課程,或學校以嘉獎方式鼓勵學生參加、教師推薦等因素,另外部份大學生參加聽講則是因學校列入通識教育課程。教師為獲得研習時數,並擴充專業領域之外的知識等多元動機。三、聽眾確從本系列演講有所學習,從問卷調查聽眾參加後,對於本身在知識與理解;在智性、實用及專業等方面技能的提昇;態度與價值觀的改變;增進愉悅、啟發或創造力的證明;行動、行為的改變或進步的證明等5個向度的自身感受,有相當高比例的聽眾覺得在這幾方面有所學習。而進一步透過問卷開放性問題的文本與訪談文本的歸納分析顯示,參加聽眾確實在聽講後有所收獲。

並列摘要


Popular science lecture has long been an import way of informal science education in science museums around the world. But none research explore the audience's outcome after their participation in science lectures. This paper mainly reported the result of a research that explored audience's learning outcome after attending ”the meeting scientists on Sunday science lecture series” held by National Science and Technology Museum in 2010.Methods of questionnaire and interview were employed for data collection. Totally, 1,436 questionnaires were collected and 24 people were interviewed. The evidence shows that the majority of participants in the lectures are main target audience of the program, such as teachers (21%) and senior high school students and above (50%). Motivations of listeners consist of intrinsic, extrinsic and practical factors. Also, both of quantitative and qualitative data suggest that most of participants feel that they benefit from the science lectures in knowledge and understanding, skills, change in attitudes and values, enjoyment, inspiration and creativity, behavior and progression.
