In this study, attitude measurements are focused on three scales: (1) Personal interest in science, (2) Perspective about the value of science and (3) Intention of future participation. Motivation measurements are focused on three scales: (1) Intrinsic motivation, (2) Self-efficacy and (3) Self-determination.
Starting from the latouran ideas and using the theoretical-methodological framework of the Theory-Actor Network, it is intended to understand the modes of participation and the experiences lived in the practices developed by the project of scientific divulgation entitled University of the Children
Mass media, which bridge the gap between scientists and public, plays an irreplaceable role in science communication. With the growing popularity of the internet, internet media have become one of the significant avenues to science communication. Nevertheless, errors are frequently found in science news reports today.
Otago Museum’s Discovery World was a science centre that received 65,000 visitors annually. With over 20 years of existence, it was completely revamped in 2017. This research gives voice to three groups in relation to Discovery World and its redevelopment: 227 visitors were asked open questions to describe Discovery World
This report describes an empirical study of the perceptions of genetically engineered crops, which agricultural application is most acceptable, and how perceptions change when prestented with new information. We assessed three key factors: trust, familiarity, and concern
This roundtable aims to connect the ideas and findings from these U.S. focused workshops with international perspectives and experiences. Speakers will include both workshop participants and international leaders.
Numbers do not lie, but they are quite good at concealing the truth. In this abridged version of her interactive theatre lecture Ionica Smeets shows the audience how easily they can be fooled by numbers with surprising real life examples, weird mathematical paradoxes, irrefutable logic, counterintuitive experiments and specially made animations.
Science & technology and innovation contest is a popular form to conduct science communication because it can constantly attract media and audience’ attention, and mobilize more resources among institutes, universities, schools, science centers and museums in the long run. How to assess the science communication effect of the contest is an interesting question with value of theoretical exploration and practical implication.
We organised a series of outreach events that focused on the science of cooking. The targeted audiences were school children, families and professionals. The programme was developed and conducted with science and engineering undergraduates. Our primary goal was to reinvent local delights to emphasise science. Another was to engage the different social communities.
Over the last decades the public debate about climate change, sustainability, and other global environmental issues was focused solely on perspectives from the Earth sciences, on economic demands and societal challenges. Some scholars see the working programme for climate research of the EU as an example, which seems to be “characterized by its exclusion of human (cultural, ethical and spiritual) dimensions
If social complexity is proportional to the number of interactions within a given society, ours is undoubtedly complex. In our complex societies, traditional modes of science diffusion are not as effective as we would like them to be as a result of at least two self-reinforcing factors
Since the end of World War 2, science education, science mediation and science communication has been the order of the day. With the growing importance of science and technology within our societies, in all fields, it was posited that reason, science and a scientific mind were among the major conditions for continuously growing economies and continuously rising living condition.
This presentation centres on an ongoing discussion in suicide prevention circles: what nomenclature is most appropriate when communicating about suicide. Despite the importance of the topic, there is actually a lack of empirical evidence to support some claims regarding stigmatising language.
Citizen science is a developing field of interest for many researchers. Projects range from those where the public are invited to take part and assist the research scientists in an endeavour, to those where citizens themselves initiate and engage in investigations.
Using the case study of President Trump’s announcement in June 2017 that the United States would be leaving the Paris Agreement, I analyse the narratives that were deployed by the governments of three countries (the United Kingdom, France and Germany) to react to the same policy event, as well as assess the extent to which these stories were adopted or contested in legacy media.
What is the role of science communication in the undergraduate science curriculum? This international panel will discuss key issues in teaching science communication at the undergraduate level, and how to bring public communication of science into science education.
