The View of Nature of Science (VNOS) is an important factor in measuring scientific literacy of citizens. The VNOS of popular science workers has a direct impact on their effect of Science Popularization. Using both quantitative and qualitative research, the paper has studied 90 working staff from 14 science and technology museums in Hubei Province by stratified random sampling through the use of VANSK. The result is not ideal. In different sex, ages, working years, education, administrative levels and posts, the scores vary significantly different. It is hoped that the paper might provide some references for improving the quality of popular science workers in China.

The United States has a large number of popular science volunteers, and has accumulated considerable experience in the management mechanism and activities of popular science volunteers. By examining the access mechanism, management system, laws, and forms of activities of American science popularization volunteers, we have found that: The management of volunteers has a standardized entry and exit mechanism, a relatively complete reward and punishment mechanism, a convenient entry channel, and diverse forms of activities. In contrast, the current number of Chinese science popularization volunteers and their role in the spread of science and technology are relatively weaker. There are also many problems and deficiencies regarding the service. It is recommended that relevant departments conduct standardized and uniform management of popular science volunteers, improve relevant laws and improve the management system of popular science volunteers with a view to improving civic scientific literacy in an all-round way.

Media studies is one of the important content for science communication. Farming and Weaving Picture is a special form of art which is used to spread agricultural technology and culture in traditional Chinese society. In the process of Chinese society's transformation from traditional to modern times, the printing media of Farming and Weaving Picture changed from xylograph to lithography. By analyzing different transmission modes of Farming and Weaving Picture and exploring its changes of print media, it is found that although lithography has increased the reproduction and transmission of Farming and Weaving Picture to a certain extent, science communication mode of traditional Farming and Weaving Picture is interrupted. This phenomenon shows that there is no direct relationship between media and science communication. It is necessary to follow rules in other areas when science communication attempts to cooperate with other areas.

Scientific China Monthly, founded in 1937, is a popular science periodical in the Republic of China. It was republished in Shanghai in 1946 following the Anti-Japanese Aggression War. Articles in the regular column “science news” were translated from famous popular science periodicals in the United States, such as Popular Science, and Popular Mechanics, etc. This paper focuses on 210 pieces of science news from 1946 to the founding of the P. C. China, 41% of which were selected from Popular Science's “science news”, “science at work” and “PSM features”, etc. Through an acomparative study of the translated text and the original versions, it is found that the translation selection strategy of science news is affected by many factors, such as public interest, popularization, readability, as well as practicability and easy to read or not. Under such circumstance, it had to give up some important, cutting-edge and hot science news, which is contrary to the purpose of the news, however, it was a no-other-alternative choice in such social settings.

The continuous development of science education research is a necessary way to improve students' scientific literacy. On this basis, understanding the current situation and development trend of empirical studies plays an important role in the development of science education. The study constructs the analysis framework in four dimensions‘objective’, ‘evidence’, ‘conclusion’ and‘practical’, and summarizes the present situation of empirical study on science education both in quantity and quality dimensions through a systematic analysis of the empirical studies on the theme of conceptual change. The results show that the traits of the empirical studies are generally unfolded in the 2 aspects: (a) the improvement of attention and stability of quality under the longitudinal dimensions; (b) the imbalance between different horizontal dimensions. The analysis of the current situation and development trend will provide effective suggestions for promoting the empirical study of science education and provide some inspiration for the future development of science education in China.

Green WeChat Official Account is an important representative of social media on environmental communication. The text representation, discourse construction and communication mode of 100 000+ articles can concretely show the utility and construction of environmental communication. Framework and discourse studies demonstrate that the characteristics of green text are relevance, proximity and usability. Convenient aggregation, practical information, clear views and emotion are the important efficient ways of Green WeChat Official Account. It is more realistic to build “green public discourse space” than “green public sphere” in a social media. There is still a lack of scientific discourse, constructive ideas and green culture, which needs to be improved from information dissemination to value dissemination. It is an important way to establish a systematic modern green discourse system and guarantee the supply of value for “green public discourse space”.

The research analyzes Shanghai Science & Technology Museum, Changfeng Ocean World, Children's Museum, Insect Museum, Aviation Science Museum, Wind power Science Museum by using the six elements (Factor Conditions, Demand Conditions, Related and Supporting Industries, Strategy, Structure and Rivalry, Chance, Government) of Porter Diamond Model. The main advantages and disadvantages in the development of Science Popularization Industry are explored. Based on that, the research puts forward the main suggestions to improve the industry competition ability about Domestic Science Museum: Firstly, make the national support be in tandem with the science museum industry; Secondly, promote the supply side of the industry development of Science Museum; Thirdly, stimulate the demand side of public popular science consumption; Fourthly, build the PPP (Public Private Partnership) Model of Science Museum and Social Cooperation. Through the above-mentioned four suggestions, these are hoped that the ability of the Industry Development of Science Museum could be excavated to the maximum extent so as to promote the great development and prosperity of Popular Science Culture Industry in China.

With the development of science education, History, Philosophy and Sociology of Science (HPS) have become the focus of science education research, the educational value of history of science has captured more and more attention form science education researchers, especially its impact on the nature of science. Science museum is suitable for using the history of science to improve students' nature of science because of its rich resources, but the issue is lacking theoretical achievements. Firstly, the papers put forward the Framework for Activity of Science History Based on Exhibits (FASHBE), which may provide a guide for designing activity of history of science. Secondly, the case of electromagnetic was designed under the guide of the framework for primary school students. The Design-Based Research was applied to implement the case of electromagnetic three iterations so that we can revise it. We also used the questionnaires before and after case at the third implementation to measure and evaluate the educational effect of the case and the framework. The theory, the designing method, and the case are instructive for the design and implementation of the activity of history of science. It is helpful for history of science application in the school and science museum to improve individual's understanding of the nature of science.
