■ 講演要旨と講師紹介

【第1部】How should we organize science communication trainings to achieve
competencies?
To advance science communication training, we use learning theory to
build on an earlier effort to create a comprehensive list of topics for
learning science communication. We identify threshold concepts that can help
learners move through the community of practice of science communication. We
organize the topics as essential or advanced, and specify their relevance to
occasional, active, and professional science communicators. We understand
learning progressions as a way to structure movement within a community of practice, especially the
development of stronger identity as a science communicator. We believe this
approach can lead to development of formal learning progressions for
structuring science communication training. Our goal is to help move science
communication training from an opportunistic activity drawing on the particular interests and skills of individual
trainers to a more systematic enterprise.

【第2部】Public engagement with science in the Jewish ultra-orthodox society in
Israel

Ultra-Orthodox Jews in Israel are often referred to as an ‘enclave
community’ with strict social and cultural boundaries. Very broadly,
Ultra-Orthodox schools aim to prepare youngsters for their gender-specific
societal roles: males as religious scholars, and females as breadwinners and
domestic caregivers. For this reason, most male students do not learn science
beyond fifth or sixth grade (ages 11-12 years). This community lives in a
developed, technology-rich country, but has extremely limited formal STEM
education. This talk will examine public engagement with science in the Jewish
ultra-orthodox society at the individual and community levels. Empirical
findings will be presented to address the following questions: how did
individuals use health-related and religion-related arguments to make decisions
during the COVID-19 pandemic? How does community-level science literacy being manifested in practice? (and is there a minimum that each individual should know?) What are the
strategies for adapting science for religious publics, and what are challenges
for inclusive practice in science communication?

Ayelet Baram-Tsabari, a former science journalist, is a full professor at the Faculty of
Education in Science and Technology at the Technion–Israel Institute of
Technology, where she heads the applied science communication research group.
She was an elected member of the Israel Young Academy, and the scientific
committee of the PCST Network, and is a PI of the research center on “Taking
Citizen Science to School.” Her research program focuses on supporting public
engagement with science and effective science communication. She hosts a
science communication MOOC on edX and serves as an editorial board member on PUoS and IJSE:B.
