摘要: 科学资本是科学教育领域的学者们提出的学术概念,从社会不平等的视角关注青少年科学参与不足的问题。我们梳理了科学资本的概念演变过程,明确了科学资本的研究工具属性,并从科学传播的角度重新界定了科学资本的广义内涵,提出了面向一般公众的测量体系。科学资本这一概念体系兼容科学社会学和实证传播科学两种研究取向,以实证方式关注了科学资源分布不均与公众科学参与不平等的问题,为分众科学传播模式的探索与应用提供了理论依据。

Abstract: Science capital is a new academic concept in science education research. This concept focuses on the insufficient science participation of youth from the perspective of social inequality. This paper reviews the evolution of this concept, redefines the broad connotation of science capital from the perspective of science communication and proposes a measurement system of science capital for the general public. We propose that science capital is compatible with the two traditions of science communication research, sociology of science and empirical communication science, focuses on the unequal possession of scientific resources and unequal public participation in science in an empirical way. It provides a theoretical basis for the exploration and application of focus science communication mode.
