Department of earth science education, Chosun University, Gwangju 501-759, KoreaAbstract: The science museum in the past satisfied visitors only by interacting them with simple objects and exhibition,while one in modern times was requested to meet the need of visitors in their engagement in educational programs. Tomeet the visitors’ need, the science museum made efforts to train, educate, and assign docents so that they can interactwith visitors and serve the educational purpose of visitation. In this study, we analyzed the strengths and weakness ofdocent training programs from science museums/science centers nationally and internationally, to make implication on howto design a docent training and professional program. Programs from four national and four international science centers/museums were selected as a sample for analysis. Their docent training programs were compared with the data of surveysand interviews and emails from docents and docent managers/evaluators. Artifacts and documents of the docent trainingprograms were also collected and used to construct the validity in analyzing the data, resulting in the well-developeddocent training program as the critical one for enriching science museum education. The results included; First, we needto recruit and train docents who interact visitors directly but they need to be differentiated from regular volunteers forpromoting science museum education for the purpose of popularization of science. Additionally, Second, we need todevelop and run docent training program where docents can experience ‘informal learning’ exhibition interpretingstrategies through the real field from mentoring from the experienced/senior docents beyond ‘formal learning’ exhibitioncontent. Third, we need to equip docents with skills to make scientific literacy possible at science museum-such asexperiencing scientific ethics through scientific inquiry-which happens limited at school education.Keywords: docent, docent training program, informal learning, exhibition interpretation, scientific literacy:                            . ,          .                .                .               4 4 ,    ( ,          , ,   )                .   . ,                . ,                        .
