Download or read book Science Communication written by Annette Leßmöllmann and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-12-16 with total page 555 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science is an essentially cooperative, critical, and dynamic enterprise. Were it not for the continuous creation and improvement of special forms of communication, argumentation, and innovation, all of them suitable for its three key features, scientific knowledge and progress could hardly be achieved. The aim of this volume is to explore the nature of science communication in its several functions, modalities, combinations, and evolution - past, present, and future. One of our objectives is to provide an overview of the richness and variety of elements that take part in performing the complex tasks and fulfilling the functions of science communication. The overall structure and criteria for the choice of topics: 1. The origin and target of a communication episode - its source(s) and addressee(s). 2. The media of communication employed. 3. The thematic field and content types. 4. The distinction between aspects of science communication (e.g., media, texttypes, domains, communicative maxims) and aspects of research on science communication (e.g., the contribution of different research traditions to the understanding of science communication). 5. The history and dynamics of science communication (past, present, and future), both in an empirical perspective (e.g., the development of the research article) and a systematic perspective (e.g., what are basic types and mechanisms of change in science communication).

This substantial study covers history, art and aesthetics, identity and the self, in seeking an answer to the question of 'Future Worlds'.
Download or read book Dreamscapes of Modernity written by Sheila Jasanoff and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-09-02 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dreamscapes of Modernity offers the first book-length treatment of sociotechnical imaginaries, a concept originated by Sheila Jasanoff and developed in close collaboration with Sang-Hyun Kim to describe how visions of scientific and technological progress carry with them implicit ideas about public purposes, collective futures, and the common good. The book presents a mix of case studies—including nuclear power in Austria, Chinese rice biotechnology, Korean stem cell research, the Indonesian Internet, US bioethics, global health, and more—to illustrate how the concept of sociotechnical imaginaries can lead to more sophisticated understandings of the national and transnational politics of science and technology. A theoretical introduction sets the stage for the contributors’ wide-ranging analyses, and a conclusion gathers and synthesizes their collective findings. The book marks a major theoretical advance for a concept that has been rapidly taken up across the social sciences and promises to become central to scholarship in science and technology studies.

Download or read book Sixteen Trends Their Profound Impact on Our Future written by Gary Marx and published by Editorial Projects in Education. This book was released on 2006 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sixteen Trends . . . Their Profound Impact on Our Future Highlighting key factors which are destined to reshape the world, Marx is quick to identify how each of these "trends" will influence educational policy in various ways. With improving academic achievement for ALL students as the main goal, Sixteen Trends provides an enlightened look into the learning processes of the children of tomorrow. Some of the many issues discussed within its contents include: -the shift in population demographics and its role in life-long learning -the need for school curriculum and practices to reflect the dawning of the "information age" -the importance of equilibrium and acceptance of divergent viewpoints in preparing for emerging generations -how continuous improvement will replace "quick fixes" and challenge the status quo theory of education -why the globalization of politics and the economy today will mandate the need for interdependence in educational practice When asked about the importance of his book Sixteen Trends, author Gary Marx states, "Linear goals are not enough. Looking at tomorrow and seeing it only as a little bit more or a little bit less of today just won't cut it as we move into the future. Surrounded by a world filled with discontinuities, we desperately need to set at least a few audacious goals, the kind that took us to the moon and planets, reduced computers from a dozen racks of equipment to a single hand-held device, and envisioned educational opportunity for all. Much of what happens as we break ground on the future will come at us out of the blue. We are in a constant, unrelenting, and exciting race to lay the groundwork for an even brighter future for our children and ourselves." We at ERS are pleased to bring you the latest in Marx's groundbreaking series. According to ERS President Dr. John Forsyth, "Gary Marx's work provides an impetus for our educational community. The ability for ERS to share the information contained within Sixteen Trends is a positive and progressive step in ensuring that we are well-prepared in today's educational system for what the future holds."
Download or read book Transforming Research Methods in the Social Sciences written by Angelo Flynn and published by Wits University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-01 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social science researchers in the global South, and in South Africa particularly, utilise research methods in innovative ways in order to respond to contexts characterised by diversity, racial and political tensions, socioeconomic disparities and gender inequalities. These methods often remain undocumented – a gap that this book starts to address. Written by experts from various methodological fields, Transforming Research Methods in the Social Sciences is a comprehensive collation of original essays and cutting-edge research that demonstrates the variety of novel techniques and research methods available to researchers responding to these context-bound issues. It is particularly relevant for study and research in the fields of applied psychology, sociology, ethnography, biography and anthropology. In addition to their unique combination of conceptual and application issues, the chapters also include discussions on ethical considerations relevant to the method in similar global South contexts. Transforming Research Methods in the Social Sciences has much to offer to researchers, professionals and others involved in social science research both locally and internationally.
Download or read book Handbook of Research on Advanced Research Methodologies for a Digital Society written by Punziano, Gabriella and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-09-03 with total page 919 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doing research is an ever-changing challenge for social scientists. This challenge is harder than ever today as current societies are changing quickly and in many, sometimes conflicting, directions. Social phenomena, personal interactions, and formal and informal relationships are becoming more borderless and disconnected from the anchors of the offline “reality.” These dynamics are heavily marking our time and are suggesting evolutionary challenges in the ways we know, interpret, and analyze the world. Internet and computer-mediated communication (CMC) is being incorporated into every aspect of daily life, and social life has been deeply penetrated by the internet. This is due to recent technological developments that increase the scope and range of online social spaces and the forms and time of participation such as Web 2.0, which widened the opportunities for user-generated content, the emergence of an “internet of things,” and of ubiquitous mobile devices that make it possible to always be connected. This implies an adjustment to epistemological and methodological stances for conducting social research and an adaption of traditional social research methods to the specificities of online interactions in the digital society. The Handbook of Research on Advanced Research Methodologies for a Digital Society covers the different strands of methods most affected by the change in a digital society and develops a broader theoretical reflection on the future of social research in its challenge to always be fitting, suitable, adaptable, and pertinent to the society to be studied. The chapters are geared towards unlocking the future frontiers and potential for social research in the digital society. They include theoretical, epistemological, and ontological reflections about the digital research methods as well as innovative methods and tools to collect, analyze, and interpret data. This book is ideal for social scientists, practitioners, librarians, researchers, academicians, and students interested in social research methodology and its developments in the digital scenario.
