The ‘reproduction’ model of science-history education in traditional science centre–style popular-science venues

In this paper, we analyse the positioning of traditional science centre–style popular-science venues as a specific type of popular-science infrastructure. We also briefly elaborate on the enlightening role and value of science-history education for youth based on our own understanding. Through the analysis of these two aspects, we propose a ‘reproduction’ model of education on science history based on this type of popular-science venue and analyse the basic patterns that should be ‘re-enacted’ in exhibition design and the methods for selecting related science-history themes.
