美英两国的科普博物馆建设美国在20世纪中期以“发现法”为主导思想,开始了全国的教育改革运动。这种教育的本质在于:一是传播科学知识,二是培养创新精神、创造思维和能力。基于这种教育思想,目前,动手型展览已经越来越成为科普博物馆布展的主导形式。这种展览分为有答案和无确定答案。无确定答案的动手型展览由于侧重探究科学问题而没有答案,更能培养青少年的科学思维能力。美国国家科学基金会投资160万美元 Construction of Popular Science Museums in the United States and Britain In the mid-20th century, the United States started the nationwide education reform movement with the “founding law” as its guiding ideology. The essence of this education is that one is to spread scientific knowledge and the other is to cultivate the spirit of innovation and create thinking and ability. Based on this educational thought, at present, hands-on exhibitions have increasingly become the leading form of science museum exhibition. This exhibition is divided into answers and no definite answer. The hands-on exhibition without definite answer has more answers to scientific questions and better educates young people’s scientific thinking ability.
