“…In the Horizon 2020 Research Program of the European Union, this demand has materialized in the Work Program of Science with and for Society with the aim of building an effective cooperation between science and society. This program aims to influence society in several areas, among them the integration of science and innovation into social learning, the introduction of formal and informal science education, and the making of scientific knowledge accessible to the public, thereby helping to overcome the challenges faced by society (Owen et al, 2012; Valero-Matas et al, 2017).…”

In the last decade, researchers have responded to a social demand for science to become more responsible and have a greater effect on society by looking for innovative ways to link science and lay people. The movement to democratize expert knowledge is growing. This movement is creating tools that are used for improving the scientific literacy of citizens. This article presents dialogues between researchers and lay people of low socioeconomic status and low educational level on the social impact of a Scientific Dialogic Gathering (SDG) as a tool for promoting scientific self-literacy that is being developed at an urban adult school in Spain. Based on a communicative and qualitative approach, an SDG encourages people of low socioeconomic status and low educational level to learn about the latest scientific breakthroughs on issues that interest them, such as health-related topics. Participants in a SDG, together with researchers and educators, discuss scientific articles in an egalitarian dialog. One of the main results of this experience is that SDGs are helping lay people to make better decisions in the face of the challenges of today’s society.

“…Por ello identifica que es necesario seguir uniendo la ciencia con la sociedad, rompiendo con imaginarios sociales que permitan el ingreso de más jóvenes a las ciencias. Entre los pilares educativos que rescata es el de creatividad basada en la imaginación en todas las etapas formativas, incluyendo la universidad (Valero-Matas et al, 2017).…”

El modelo STEAM busca la apropiación de las herramientas de las TIC a partir de las ciencias, la tecnología, las artes y las matemáticas, además de disminuir la brecha de género especialmente en las mujeres ¿Qué necesita un modelo STEAM de educación no formal para abonar a disminuir la brecha digital de género? Se propone una metodología de investigación basada en diseño para crear un modelo STEAM de educación no formal entre niñas de 9 a 13 años. Resultados se logran identificar las motivaciones que están inclinadas a las artes. Conclusión es necesario transversalizar la perspectiva de género.

“…For more than a decade, it has been noted that the number of students choosing to pursue STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) related studies in developed countries, mainly in the European Union and the United States of America, has been decreasing. This raises concerns about the future or already current decrease in the number of scientists and technical professionals trained in these fields (Everis, 2012;Falcone-Lanas, 2016;Hall, Dickerson, Batts, Kauffmann & Bosse, 2011;Lupión-Cobos, Franco-Mariscal & Girón-Gambero, 2019;Ramírez, 2018;Valero-Matas, Valero-Oteo & Coca, 2017;van den Hurk, Meelissen & van Langen, 2019). In Spain, the Confederación de Sociedades Científicas de España (COSCE) report (2011) indicates that pre-university students do not perceive science subjects positively, with insufficient motivation to study science and technology, together with an increasingly low motivation (Valero-Matas & Coca, 2021) and gender-biased (García & Hijón, 2022) to work as scientists or in fields related to science and technology.…”

“…Beyond the educational sphere, this situation is affecting competitiveness and the growth of industry and the economy, and negatively impacting the development of research and innovation programmes (FECYT, 2015a;Valero-Matas et al, 2017). It is noteworthy that in a society as technologically-based as the one we live in today, which has achieved high levels of knowledge and education, there is a certain lack of interest in scientific and technical matters (Falcone-Lanas, 2016).…”

Lectures on science and technology constitute one of the most noteworthy activities used to promote STEM-related degrees (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). This research seeks to identify the factors that pose an obstacle to promoting science and engineering via scientific and technical lectures to secondary school students, as well as their positive aspects, based on the experiences of teaching staff who conduct such lectures. An exploratory study consisting of 16 interviews was conducted with lecturers of different ages, qualifications and academic profiles at the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM). The software ATLAS.ti was used to perform the qualitative analysis. The results of the interviews reveal obstacles related to secondary schools, the speakers, and the university environment, mainly focusing on organisational aspects. Similarly, positive aspects have been found with regard to students, speakers, the University and society in general, all of which are geared towards promoting these studies and communicating scientific knowledge. The main conclusion drawn from this study is that science and technology lectures may be a good outreach tool, but they require greater organisational and institutional support.
