과학 기술 정보 수용에 대한 영향 요인의 탐색 －원자력 관련 인식과 정보 수용을 중심으로－

초록

This research examines effective ways to accept the information related to scientific technology in connection with science education, and particularly it has great interest in the information related to nuclear energy. Many policies related to nuclear energy in Korea have failed, and these cases are based mainly on the recognition that the conveyance of information will induce changes in attitude. However, attitude toward nuclear energy is more affected by the negative recognition that has been previously formed than by the information related to nuclear energy. This research attempts to improve such circumstances through connecting science education with providing the information related to nuclear energy. This research was a process in which connections formed by 6 variables,namely, self-assurance, relevance recognition, utility recognition, media content judgment, media content interest, and attitude were tested through 9 hypotheses, and all the hypotheses except two hypotheses were adopted. According to the results of this research, more emphasis needs to be placed on internal learning maintenance factors for scientific technology realms including nuclear energy rather than providing the information related to nuclear energy. And educators can play the role of promoting learning through establishing goals emphasizing relevance and utility. When these conditions are met, the diversity of information related to nuclear energy that media deal with can take effect. Through the above-mentioned organic connections, acceptability of nuclear energy can be enhanced.
