다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of the study is to investigate experiences of science museum by teachers and students of elementary school in Busan, and methods of the application to the field learning of National Busan science museum which is under establishment. To this end, the author used questionnaire survey made with 127 teachers and 692 students in four elementary schools in Busan. As the result, it was found that number of visit to science museum in Busan was average 8.7 for elementary school teachers, 2.3 for elementary school students. For necessity of field learning in science museum, elementary school teachers and students highly felt it even 85.8%, 95.6% respectively. However, expectation on existing science museum in Busan was not high. Preliminary learning for field learning received enough sympathy but necessity of after-learning was 3.89 for elementary school teachers and 2.54 for elementary school students. This shows large difference between teachers and students, and significant t- value. This means that it is necessary to have flexibility so that students can understand learning method enough. As implication, National Busan science museum should provide various scientific experiences while it is necessary to have enough connection with school curriculum. If National Busan science museum gives feedback through carefully selected after-learning program, and closely listens to and accepts suggestion and expectation from school field, that is, exhibition and experience theme differentiated from existing some science museums in Busan centered on marine and ship, it is expected that the science museum can build a new paradigm of science education outside school.
