Predmetni sklop obravnava dve področji komuniciranja znanosti:
1. Poljudno komuniciranje znanosti
2. Strokovno poročanje in prijava projekta
Ad.1: V modulu “Poljudno komuniciranje znanosti” se slušatelji seznanijo z osnovnimi pristopi k podajanju znanstvenih vsebin na poljuden način in pomenom komuniciranja z laično javnostjo. Obravnavani so klasični in novi mediji. Slušatelji dobijo smernice za pisanje poljudnoznanstvenih člankov in predavanj, podajanje izjav pred mikrofonom ter nastope pred kamero. Izpopolnijo se tudi pri uporabi družbenih omrežij v komuniciranju znanosti. Predstavljen je pristop k pisanju člankov v dnevnem časopisju, nasveti za pripravo na nastop v radijskih in televizijskih prispevkih, intervjujih in oddajah na temo znanosti ter nasveti, kako pripraviti dober znanstveni pič. Predstavljene so tudi pasti in napake v poljudnem poročanju o znanosti. Delo poteka v obliki delavnic, pri katerih sodelujejo znanstvene novinarke oz. novinarji, na voljo je možnost obiska radijskega studia in vaje pred mikrofonom. Domače delo predvideva pisne izdelke ali posnetke, ki jih slušatelji predložijo v oceno.
Ad.2: V modulu “Strokovno poročanje in prijava projekta” je poudarek na pripravi znanstvenega članka in govornega prispevka na strokovni konferenci, spoznajo pa se tudi z osnovami priprave projektne prijave.
Slušatelji se izpopolnijo v pripravi dobrega povzetka in naslova znanstvenega prispevka. V modulu sta predstavljena vidika avtorjev znanstvenega članka in recenzentov oz. urednikov revije, poudarjena je znanstvena integriteta. Slušatelji dobijo nasvete, kako se lotiti priprave govornega prispevka ter kako se spopasti s tremo pred nastopom. Pouk poteka v obliki delavnic, ki vključujejo številne vaje, v katerih slušatelji izpopolnijo svoje pisne in govorne veščine. Domače delo predvideva pisne izdelke ali posnetke, ki jih slušatelji predložijo v oceno.
The present subject set deals with two areas of science communication:
1. Popular science communication
2. Professional reporting and project application
Ad.1: In the module "Communication of Science to the Public", the students become familiar with the importance of communication with the lay public and with the basic approaches to delivering scientific content in a simplified (popular) manner. Classical and new media are discussed. Students are given guidelines for writing popular science articles, lectures or scientific pitch. They get guidelines on how to put social networks to good use to communicate science widely. The students improve their ability to write articles in a daily newspaper and magazines. They get suggestions on how to prepare for radio and television interviews or shows. Pitfalls and errors in popular science reporting are also discussed. The work takes place in the form of workshops in which scientific journalists are involved, there is also an opportunity to visit the radio studio and practice in front of the microphone. Homework involves written products or recordings that students submit for assessment.
Ad.2: In the module "Professional reporting and project application" the emphasis is on the preparation of a scientific article and talk at a professional conference. The students become familiar with the process of project application. The students improve their ability to prepare a good summary and title of a scientific paper. The aspects of the authors of the scientific article and the reviewers are presented. Scientific integrity is emphasized. The students get suggestions on how to prepare conference presentation and talk, as well as how to perform on the stage in the best possible way. The lessons take place in the form of workshops, which include many exercises in which the students improve their writing and speaking skills.
