[[alternative]]The Study of Constructive Strategies of Science Concepts of Adult Audiences in the Science Exploration Center of National Science and Technology Museum

[[abstract]]The purpose of this study was to explore the characteristics of learning, the constructive strategies of science concepts and the factors of effect, of the adult audiences in the Science Exploration Center of National Science and Technology Museum. Three participants were selected based on "the principles of choosing participants" developed by researcher. "Think-aloud" method was adopted to collect the data. According to the outcome of interview and analysis, this research summarized the following conclusions: 1.based on prior knowledge or experiences: the basic strategy was " to connect prior knowledge or experiences with new science concepts" ; the flexible strategies included "browsing exposition rapidly" , "transferring of learning" and "inference". 2.clues of context: the basic strategy was " search clues from context" ; the flexible strategies included " control factors" , " reasoning" and " metacognition" 3.trial-and-error: the basic strategy was " trial-and-error" ; the flexible strategies included " assumption" , "search clues from context" , "to connect prior knowledge or experiences with new science concepts" and" analogy" . According to the learning route ,the researcher named the two former as “circulative constructor”, the later as “linear constructor”. The factors that influenced circulative constructor included lacking of key concepts of exhibition, resource of exposition, and depth of concepts of exhibition, and monotone of operation. The factors that influenced linear constructor included lacking of prior knowledge, practices of science skill and relative resource of exhibition , and long exposition.In the conclusion, concrete suggestions were put forward respectively to the museum toward contents of exhibition and adult learning..
