碩士 === 臺南藝術學院 === 博物館學研究所 === 92 === The purpose of this thesis is to experiment the feasibility of museum evaluation in exhibition design process at Taiwan, and I will take the “Kaleidoscope Exhibition” as the sample. From this exhibition, I analyzed how will the outcome of evaluation influence the exhibtion designing team, and then inferred the feasibility of executing evaluations by evaluators in the museums. There are three phases of the research. First, front-end evaluation based on the information gathered from visitors, to find the purpose of the exhibition ideas. Second, the formative evaluation, which provides the information about how the exhibition can be improved. Third, the summative evaluation, which measures the impact of the exhibition. At last, as an evaluator, I reflected the advantage and disadvantage of my implementation in the evaluation. The conclusion of the research could be explained in two parts. Firstly, the outcome of the exhibition are as follows：1.The shift of learning style of the target adience. 2.Enhance the impact of museum. 3.Design the interface of the manipulation of the exhibit. 4.Visitors learning support system in the exhibition. 5.The impact of the learning transfer on the visitors. 6.Visitors’ attitude changing. Secondly, my advice to the feasibility of exhibition evaluation in Taiwan are：1.The situation of evaluators. 2.The challenge of exhibition designing team and evaluators. 3.Policy decision. In the end of the thesis, I don’t think that bringing the exhibition evaluation into the exhibition developing process could be carried out fully at Taiwan. It’s still in experimental phase. However, my suggestion is that the best way to imporve it is to connect the museology academic institutions with the museum field to execute the exhibition evaluation. The authority of museums should encourage or govern the training insitution, as well as establish the mechanism of experience communication to make the basic ideas of evaluation established gradually in museum field.
