“…Such activities have had a significant breakthrough in Brazil in recent years, despite some limitations. One of the great current challenges of science communication in Brazil concerns the quantity, quality, and geographical distribution of training courses throughout the country, which in general are concentrated in the urban centers of the southeastern and southern regions ( 3 , 4 ). Thus, the offering of online science communication training courses could reach stakeholders in different regions of Brazil and allow for the professional development of journalists, scientific communicators, undergraduate and graduate students, and early-career scientists ( 4 ).…”

“…In New Zealand, Otago University added a Master's of Science Communication to its innovative postgraduate programme in science and natural history film-making. In Brazil, a Master's in Scientific and Cultural Communication was added in 2007 to the existing offering in science journalism at the University of Campinas (Vogt et al 2009). At the National Autonomous University of Mexico, the programme in science popularisation, which started in 1996 through a close association with a science museum, was broadened from 2008 and linked to longer established studies in the philosophy of science (Haynes 2009 A discussion between representatives of science communication programmes at the 2006 international PCST conference led to a survey and report (Mulder et al 2008).…”

Vital and Vulnerable: Science Communication as a University Subject

Science Communication in the World

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Over nearly three decades, science communication has become established as a subject of teaching and research in universities across the world. Its standing as an academic discipline continues to be debated, but graduate degree programmes and doctoral research in the field are increasing. Partly reflecting its inherent multi-and interdisciplinary content, science communication is embedded in different institutions in different ways. These developments have been driven mainly by individual champions, but in some cases also by institutional and government policies. The diversity of science communication programmes reflects in part the various histories and institutional affiliations of the programmes. The diversity can be seen as a sign of the subject's vitality but it is also a condition of its vulnerability. Many science communication teaching programmes have given rise to consultancies, applied research, publishing and, perhaps most notably, doctoral research, but information from the promoters of science communication programmes indicates that some programmes are particularly exposed to the rationalisation affecting higher education institutions in many countries. Science communication's position between and across disciplines and departments may mean it is not always well equipped to defend itself just when its need is most apparent.

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la formación en comunicación que reciben los alumnos que cursan estudios de grado en las áreas de ciencias de la salud y de la vida, las ciencias ambientales y las ciencias naturales. Para ello se ha estudiado el conjunto del sistema universitario español (84 universidades) y una muestra de 10 universidades pertenecientes a seis países latinoamericanos. A partir de un análisis documental de sus sitios web, se han identificado 91 asignaturas que reúnen los criterios de inclusión: 48 en el grado de medicina, 18 en ciencias de la vida (biomedicina y biotecnología, fundamentalmente), 13 en ciencias ambientales y otras ciencias naturales y 12 en otras ciencias de la salud (psicología, enfermería, nutrición, farmacia, gerontología, neurociencias y veterinaria). Asimismo, el análisis de contenido de los programas docentes de estas asignaturas ha permitido identificar siete categorías temáticas: 1) teorías de la comunicación y de las intervenciones basadas en la comunicación; 2) la comunicación en acción: actores, relaciones interpersonales y entornos; 3) naturaleza de la ciencia y elementos específicos del campo disciplinar; 4) comunicación en medios y su impacto social; 5) aspectos éticos; 6) habilidades y técnicas de comunicación generales y 7) habilidades en situaciones especiales.
