博士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 社會教育學系 === 96 === The investigation advances from the “person oriented” perspective, by using the service learning experience of the volunteers in the National Palace Museum. From the adult museum learning theory, to discuss how three quinquennial generations of the museum docent goes through a learning curve of “benefiting self and others”, searching the learning experience that is meaningful in the museum field. At the same time, the investigation uses the vision of “field theory” to connect the present and the past, in order to see that the National Palace Museum ever since the “establishing tradition” stage, has been giving its full support to the governmental diplomatic policy, providing a multi-language commentate service in order to receive the “national distinguished guests.” Until after the 80’s, the National Palace Museum because of the social education policy, started to provide a Free Student group tour since March 1971 by the staffs of the gallery. This forms a set of measures to cooperate with the above-mentioned educational policy. This measure differs from the multi-language tour for our national distinguished guests, but it is an act of the National Palace Museum starting to give more attention to the local audiences. During the term of Director H.Y. Chin (1982-2000), due to the maturity of the encouragement of volunteer service during the 90’s, also the head of exhibition department, Dr. K.H. Chou, of that time was an extraordinary foreign language commentator, therefore with her skillful tour experience, since 1988~1989, the National Palace Museum has been eagerly promoting training classes for museum docent. On the one side to expand the guided tour service for the student group, and on the other side to recruit adult learner who are interested in the National Palace Museum collection, in order to open up the experience of “benefiting self and others.” The subjects of this study focus on four perspectives based on the exhibition of the National Palace Museum, the development of the museum docent, and the learning experience of the museum volunteers, also propose three suggestions that should fulfill the “person oriented” demand for the museum audiences.
