The paper discusses the chosen ongoing perspectives related to science understanding based problems. Science is viewed, following Robert Merton, as a functioning institution. Social context plays a significant role in defining the possibilities of developing science. The question arises how a functioning institution can be effectively analyzed and which perspectives can be implemented. Hence this paper’s goal is to reveal some ways of exploring science understanding. Consequently the paper touches the scientific discourses upon science discussing its academic functional ethos and on the other hand tension between bureaucratization and openness in science. More broadly how far science is democratized in an academic interaction. The proposition of examining the problem of the quality of science as an institution is to grasp two perspectives: first, the formal perspective, related to the legal field and its rationality and second, followed by Adele Clarke known as “situatedness”. The idea of joining formalization with situatedness can be regarded as an embodiment within John Meyer and Brian Rowan’s concept of an institutionalized organization. Hence science understanding is defined as a complex functioning institution escaping from a modern version of science into many postmodern ad-hoc made sciences. The paper’s intention is to provide problems and proposition of solving them through applying an integrating perspective
In the contemporary global world the various models of making and distributing science are cultivated. The particular model of institutionalized science can significantly determine the quality of working both as a scientist and as a student. Research upon science environment in the meaning of investigation the framework of science influences for example the system of communication between different actors engaged in science, good practices, possibilities offered by particular context of science and facilities of acquiring the scientific knowledge etc. It this view the presented paper finds its justification directing analysis towards the quality of making science. Hence the paradigm of sociological science policy is strongly needed. The paper is going to reconstruct the key models which recognize contexts of making science and its numerous dimensions. The research is based on the set of literature founded through the digital key words searching process. The chosen literature recalls the most significant research based on science policy. Consequently the described models tend towards the most globalized and open models of making science to show the path of required changes into still founded coercive science structures mostly institutionalized by long-lasting tradition. The final conclusion states that more concrete steps in reformulating the science policy are required to obtain the desirable model of open science and at the same time to develop the high standing scientific priorities.
Modele komunikacji naukowej to modele komunikacji uczonych w środowisku naukowym oraz komunikacji uczonych z szerszym społeczeństwem. Artykuł ten poświęcony jest wyzwaniom komunikacyjnym w środowisku naukowym, jak i poza nim w świetle wypowiedzi ekspertów, z którymi przeprowadzono wywiady. Jeden z najważniejszych wniosków dotyczy kategoryzacji pojęcia demokratyzacji nauki w Polsce w kontekście możliwości podejmowania różnych form potencjalnej komunikacji i współpracy naukowców z szerszym społeczeństwem w Polsce. Artykuł kończy rozróżnienie na modele „dialogu” i „deficytu” w komunikowaniu wiedzy naukowej.
The paper scrutinises the notion of normativisation as a concept met with only relatively rarely in the sphere of the sociology of science. The normativisation concept is here embodied in the neo-functional perspective, with a view to its relationship with the sociology of science being elaborated more deeply, and new analytical paths provided, in this case in regard to the understanding of science. The work underpinning this paper has sought to help make good the lack of relevant studies in the field of the sociology of science. The material presented comes from literature-based research, while the main axis is put on the highlighting of theoretical relationships between types of normativisation and sociological neo-functional theory in order for the inputs of Gunther Teubner in particular to be better grasped. As is signaled at the end, this paper is ultimately targeted at science governance, though this is in itself a notion requiring additional studies if it is to be viewed in particular contexts.
Prezentowany artykuł wpisuje się w dziedzinę naukoznawstwa. Tekst stanowi streszczenie jednego z rozdziałów rozprawy doktorskiej. Jego celem jest przedstawienie własnych interpretacji tematów poruszanych w czasopismach naukowych ukazujących się w Polsce, a poświęconych zagadnieniom nauki i szkolnictwa wyższego. Analiza tematyczna artykułów pozwoliła wyszczególnić cztery kategorie analityczne: widzialności i produktywności naukowej, normatywizacji polityki naukowej, kapitału komunikacyjnego i anomii dyskursywnej.
