科学史——深化和表达科技馆展览主题的重要途径

The History of Science——An Important Way to Deepen and Express the Theme of the Exhibition in Science and Technology Museums

我国科技馆在展示内容上往往以传播科学原理及结论为主,而忽略科学方法、科学思想和科学精神的深层次内涵,从而容易使展览虽然充斥着展品和知识,却难以支撑和诠释展览主题。如何挖掘展品的深层次内涵以更好地表达主题,进而提升科技馆的展教功能并深化科学教育效果?笔者认为引入和展示科学史内容是一种有效途径。科学史内容将科学与人文联系起来,增强了科技馆展览的故事性、思想性和人文性,对深化展览主题和创新展示内容起到重要作用。

Science and technology museums in China tend to mainly express scientific principles and conclusions in their exhibitions ' contents,but ignoring the deeper meaning of scientific methods,scientific ideas and scientific spirit. It' s easy to make the exhibition full of exhibits and knowledge but difficult to hold and express the theme of the exhibition. How to exploit the theme of the exhibition in order to better express it and enhance science and technology museums ' educational function and deepen the effect of scientific education? The author believes that an effective way is to introduce and display the history of science. The content of the history of science can link science and humanity,enhance the storytelling,ideological and humanistic nature of the exhibition in science and technology museums,and play an important role in enhancing the theme of exhibition and innovating its contents.
