基于科技馆展品类型及特征分析的好奇心激发因素探讨

Discussion on the Factors Stimulating Curiosity Through the Analysis of Exhibit Types and Characteristics of Science and Technology Museums

作为开展科普教育、提升公民科学素质的重要场所,科技馆在激发观众好奇心方面具有独特优势。科技馆展品作为科普主要传播载体,其不同展示类型和特征差异,对激发观众注意力和好奇心的程度也有所不同。本文通过文献研究等方式,分析梳理科技馆展品类型及特征,以流动科普展品为研究对象,重点从学科领域、展示形式、感官体验、人际关系、交互方式等维度进行探讨,依据好奇心相关理论,找寻规律特点,进而提出影响展品激发好奇心的潜在因素,为更好地指导科技馆展品的设计与开发提供理论依据。

As an essential place to carry out science popularization education and enhance citizens’ scientific literacy, the science and technology museum has unique advantages in stimulating the curiosity of audience. As the main communication carrier of popular science education, there are different display types and characteristics of exhibits in science and technology museums, which can attract the audience’s attention and curiosity to various degrees. By means of literature research and expert consultation, this paper analyzes and sorts out the types and characteristics of the exhibits in science and technology museums, and takes mobile science exhibits as the research object to discuss this issue from five aspects, including field of knowledge, display forms, sensory experiences, interpersonal relationships and interaction modes. In the light of the regulation characteristics of the relevant theories of curiosity, the paper puts forward the potential influencing factors of the exhibits on stimulating curiosity, so as to provide a theoretical basis to guide the design and development of science and technology museum exhibits better.
