교육적으로 유의미한 의사소통을 위한 지구과학 관련 전시 라벨의 서술 특징 = Descriptive Characteristics of the Label Texts Related to Earth Science: Toward Educationally Meaningful Communication

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구는 국내 주요 과학관 및 자연사 박물관의 지구과학 관련 전시 라벨 텍스트의 서술 특징을 분석하고자 하였다. 이를 위해, 국립 중앙 과학관과 서대문 자연사 박물관에서 자료를 수집하였고, 체계기능언어학을 일부 적용한 분석틀을 사용하였다. 연구 결과, 라벨들은 1) 대부분 평서형 문장, 2) 적절한 과학적 정보의 양, 3) ‘사실’ 위주의 정보 제시, 4) 모두 논리적 설명 장르로 구성되어 있었다. 특히, 국립 중앙 과학관의 라벨들은 5) 전체 어휘 중 과학 용어의 비율이 높고 6) 주어의 절반 이상이 생략되거나 긴 명사화 형태였다. 결론적으로, 분석 대상 라벨들은 전시물과 관람객들 사이에서 과학 문화에 관한 양 방향적 의사소통을 이끌기보다 일 방향적인 의사소통을 일으킬 가능성이 높은 것으로 해석할 수 있었다. 이를 토대로, 과학 문화와 관람객의 일상 문화 사이의 열린 구조를 만들어 보다 교육적으로 유의미한 의사소통을 가능하게 하는 라벨 텍스트의 서술 특징들을 제안하였다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to analyse the descriptive characteristics of the label texts related to Earth Science at a science museum and a natural history museum in Korea. The data were collected from Korean National Science Museum and Seodaemun Natural History Museum. The analysis framework was modified according to the Systemic Functional Linguistics. As a result, characteristics of the labels are 1) mostly declarative sentences, 2) appropriate amount of scientific information, and 3) mainly ‘facts.’ Moreover, all of the text genre are 4) ‘logical expositions.’ Particularly in Korean National Science Museum, the labels present 5) more scientific words among the entire terminologies and 6) more than half subjects omitted or long nominalized. Those results may imply that the labels can lead one-way communication regarding the culture of science rather than two-way. This study presents the descriptive characteristics of the label texts to make educationally meaningful communication possible by building an open structure between visitors' own culture in everyday life and the culture of science.
