Case Report: Scientific Dissemination as a Mediator of the Research Consolidation Process: Proposals for Institutionalization

Abstract

Introduction Communicating science is one of the main steps in the research process. However, the method of communication must be aligned with the audience for the message. This is especially evident in institutions that promote teaching, research, and extension, especially when considering joint actions that promote a dialogue between themselves and the community. Methods In light of this need, this study was conducted with the aim of analyzing the main documents guiding the policies and institutional actions related to research at the two federal institutes based in the state of Goiás/Brazil: Institution A and Institution B and proposing ways to include scientific dissemination as a mediator of the research consolidation process. This is a bibliographic, documentary study with a descriptive, qualitative approach based on a case study. Results and Discussion The analyses indicate that research must be consolidated as institutional policy and that a policy to encourage research must be implemented. This has yet to be achieved at these institutions, although scientific dissemination is explicitly addressed by institutional documents guiding the development and dissemination of pedagogical practices, especially in teaching and extension. Scientific journalism and scientific dissemination are mediators and facilitators of this endeavor.

Station Rotation: An Experience Report of a Teaching-Learning Proposal in Youth and Adult Education

“…27(1) ENERO-ABRIL, 2023: 1-20 in educating young people and adults; we agree with Martins et al (2017) when they state that active learning methodologies are like a proposal for education to provide greater autonomy to the student, making him or her an active student, the center of the teaching-learning process (Martins et al, 2017). The active methodologies allow the engagement and participation in knowledge building (Fernández Guerra et al, 2019;Galvão et al, 2020;Galvão et al, 2021), improving student performance (Aji, & Khan, 2019) and enables student protagonism in the learning process (Silva et al, 2020). According to Romão, & Gadotti (2007), the YAE for the Hamburg Declaration proposes to seek development in the entire learning process, whereby people who are considered adults by society can develop their skills, enrich their knowledge, and perfect their technical and professional qualifications (Romão, & Gadotti, 2007).…”

Project-based Learning in science dissemination with university students of plant biotechnology

“…

Science dissemination is defined as the communication of science to society at large, including people without basic scientific knowledge, through communication strategies and active interactions, enabling the dissemination of science (Beck et al, 2019;Galvão et al, 2021). Traditionally, science dissemination has been carried out through the written press, specific books, television and radio.
