국내 중소 과학관 현황 분석: 과학관의 조직, 운영, 교육을 중심으로 = A Study on the Current Status of Domestic Science Museum: Focus on Organization, Operation, and Education

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aims to investigate the current status of science museum in terms of evaluating its organization, management, and education program. The analytical framework developed for examination are as follows: First, the lack of professional staff in most target museums is the biggest impediment for domestic science museums to function properly. Second, funding has been very poor. Third, most museums failed to properly sustain exhibits, equipment, and facilities. Fourth, various advertising and marketing efforts for attracting more visitors are hardly done. And lastly, the domestic museums made little effort in pursuing research focusing on improving exhibitions and education program. Based on these findings, the future directions for domestic science museums to step-up opportunities have been discussed in this study.
