Caracterización de la divulgación científica: reflexiones de diversos actores

Abstract

Using a qualitative approach and semi-structured interviews, this study analyzes five key categories to characterize scientific dissemination: perspective, characteristics, challenges, relationship with society, and connection with education. The findings highlight that scientific dissemination is an essential tool for democratizing knowledge, fostering scientific culture, and promoting both formal and informal education. Additionally, obstacles such as lack of resources, social disinterest, and linguistic barriers are identified as limiting its reach. To overcome these challenges, strategies such as the use of metaphors, the integration of accessible narratives, and the strengthening of links between science and society are proposed. The research underscores the need for rigorous, accessible, and audience-adapted scientific dissemination, emphasizing its capacity to promote critical thinking, bridge knowledge gaps, and encourage civic engagement in scientific issues. These conclusions contribute to the theoretical and practical debate on scientific dissemination, offering guidelines that reinforce its role as a bridge between specialized knowledge and society in a global context.
