Abstract:

This study examines the conflation of terms such as “knowledge” and “understanding” in peer-reviewed literature, and tests the hypothesis that little current research clearly distinguishes between importantly distinct epistemic states. Two sets of data are presented from papers published in the journal Public Understanding of Science. In the first set, the digital text analysis tool, Voyant, is used to analyze all papers published in 2014 for the use of epistemic success terms. In the second set of data, all papers published in Public Understanding of Science from 2010–2015 are systematically

Exploring public attitudes towards science helps investigate the images of science and what the social representations of science are. In this regard, science communication plays a crucial role in its different ways of addressing different publics.

Abstract:

In a brief article published by Science1 last October, British scientists stated that the expression "Public Understanding of Science" (PUS), which was traditionally employed in Anglosaxon societies to refer to the issue of the relationship between science, technology and society, is out-of-date. It should be replaced by "Public Engagement with Science and Technology" (PEST), a new acronym that clearly invites to reconceptualise the relationship between science and the public. The new approach involves the engagement of the public or rather the publics of science, through dialogue, in particul

Abstract:

This research aims to understand the level of public understanding of science and the extent of media consumption among citizens of Tehran, as well as the relationship between the two. To achieve this, public understanding of science was assessed in three dimensions: cognitive, attitudinal, and behavioral. The study was conducted quantitatively using a survey method, with participants being men and women over the age of 15 in Tehran, totaling 400 individuals as the sample. After collecting data with the help of statistical software, the data were processed, and the results were presented at th

Abstract:

We analyse around 15 000 responses from 11 countries to the open survey question `please tell me in your own words, what does it mean to study something scientifically' in order to show cultural diversity in public representations of science. In past studies this question has been coded on a five-point rating scale that is used to rank scientific literacy across different countries. We develop, apply and evaluate an alternative coding frame. We show that our coding is more adequate, more reliable and produces less noise than the frame used by others to analyse responses to the same question. M

This paper discusses the attitudes and opinions of research scientists and engineers to taking part in public understanding of science activities. A survey was carried out at an event in set95 (the UK's 1995 National Week of Science, Engineering and Technology), which involved 168 scientists from the University of Bristol, UK, taking their research work into a shopping mall in Bristol for two days. All participating scientists and engineers were asked to complete a written questionnaire shortly after the event and then at least one participant from each display was contacted seven months later

The concept of public opinion, deeply rooted in historical origins and evolving through centuries, has been a subject of scholarly debate. This paper traces the historical development of the term 'public opinion' from its early connotations to its current complexities, exploring its conceptualization, evolution, and debates. Scholars' perspectives, ranging from Rousseau to Locke and anti-democratic thinkers like Plato and Aristotle constitute are discussed to understand the meaning and evolution of the term public opinion. The objective of this paper is to explore the meaning, type and essence

Abstract:

We are largely ignorant. At least, there are many more things we are ignorant of than knowledgeable of. Yet, the common perception of ignorance as a negative trait has left it rather unloved in debates around making knowledge public, including science communication in its various guises. However, ignorance is a complex and essential part of science; it performs a number of legitimate roles, and is performed in a range of legitimate ways within science. In this paper, I argue that it is vital to understand when ignorance is an appropriate, legitimate part of the scientific process, and when ign

Internet mediation is playing an increasingly important role in informing the public about scientific news. Thus, it became the main source of data that formed the public’s image of science. The digital traces that users leave on many online platforms are an important source of empirical data that is barely being used; it may reveal new ways to connect science and society. That is why we propose a new conceptual approach within the Public Understanding of Science, which will lay the foundations for future empirical research.
