Science Centers and Public Participation

Abstract: Science centers and museums are currently experimenting to strengthen the participation of the public in two-way conversations between the public and the institution. Eventually, these activities will lead to a stronger role of the public in the decision-making process of the museum. We analyzed the current situation faced by science museums in Europe in light of the recent discourse on public engagement with science and identified the main barriers and obstacles that prevent actual decision making of the publ… Show more

“…It's unclear whether and how museums have used social media to support these goals. Museum visitors have become accustomed to getting information in multimedia formats that they can interact with, take with them and share with friends online, and yet museums are still sharing their collections work and discoveries in much the same way they did before the rise of the internet -through objects and written scientific documents as opposed to through live multimedia "journeys" through collections work and field excursions, for example [Bandelli and Konijn, 2013]. A 2010 study referred to the uptake of web 2.0 tools by museums as "patchy" and slow [Kelly, 2010].…”

“…Knowledge in context highlights the gradual move from a goal of 'public understanding of science' to 'public engagement with science'. This shift in public understanding of science was recongised by Bandelli and Konijn [2013] who acknowledged that as a result there is a much stronger integration between science, governance and the public today than previously.…”

“…A relação entre a AC e a participação social nos debates contemporâneos tem sido destacada por vários autores [Henriksen e Frøyland, 2000;Auler, 2003;Roberts, 2007;Bauer, Allum e S. Miller, 2007;Bandelli e Konijn, 2013]. A articulação entre AC e o movimento CTSA também aponta para a relevância de trabalhar com aspectos relacionados a questões sociotécnicas no sentido de desenvolver uma educação compromissada com um mundo melhor e socialmente mais justo [Hodson, 2013].…”
