Call for Papers Special Issue nr. 49
PRESENTATION
Scientific research related to the following areas. Science Communication, Dissemination, Dissemination and Social Appropriation of Knowledge are the central objects of scientific research in this special issue. Public Communication of Science is a social responsibility and its research is a central axis in Latin America, broad objectives should be addressed, including projects aimed at building a scientific culture of social planning and risk prevention, which contribute to effectively incorporate scientific knowledge into daily practice and collective work. In addition, to explore epistemological, theoretical and methodological discussions derived from the transformations of Science Communication processes for different social groups.
This issue focuses on two central areas of knowledge: communication and education, pillars in the construction of a society that is constantly growing and whose scientific and technological advances are continuously taking new routes. Call it dissemination of science, science communication, non-formal education in science, popularization of science, scientific literacy, public communication of science, social perception of science, democratization of science, social appropriation of scientific knowledge, universal access to knowledge, awakening scientific vocations.
Science Communication as a pillar in the understanding, dissemination and social appropriation of knowledge, makes scientific knowledge accessible and brings it to society; it is a bridge between research and society in its daily life. In communication, the transcoding of specialized languages, the transmission of knowledge and omnicomprehensible languages takes place in order to build a culture that contributes to daily practice and collective tasks, to reach an information society and to reach the knowledge society, especially in countries of this region.
The public communication of science is a social responsibility, with a broad spectrum of objectives, whose projects are aimed at building a culture with a scientific and communicative interest for the understanding and implementation in the various current social groups.
In the second foundation we have education with the significant learning of David Ausubel with the principles of: 1) previous base, 2) interaction with the new knowledge, 3) relationship with the new knowledge and 4) putting it into practice. With the foundations of Lev Vygotsky with his Socio-Cultural Model, the zone of real development is located as the previous knowledge; the zone of proximal development is the new knowledge, and the zone of potential development as the evaluation of knowledge; that is, what has been learned.
Since the Covid 19 pandemic, Science Communication must go towards broad and diverse audiences such as groups by social stratification, groups by economic level, groups by age, groups by academic level, groups by marginalization; groups by differentiated urban and rural areas, groups by access to Internet and without access to Internet, etc.
This issue will include the contributions of scientific research on the above topics, in their different dimensions as a social commitment of this area of knowledge to communication for social impact. In the trends of universal access to knowledge we have the following: basic stages, universal access to knowledge based on unique visions of researchers; the advanced trend based on the context of citizens; the progressive stage based on the needs identified by inter, multi and transdisciplinary, intergenerational, etc.
