Description
The present study explores the practices employed by STEM researchers when communicating current scientific issues to the general public in order to enhance public trust in science. The study took place in the context of the European project “STAGE”. Ten STEM researchers, four STEM education researchers and four science communicators participated in the research. The preliminary results indicate that the predominant practices employed by STEM researchers to enrich their current science communication activities for fostering public trust in science include the use of interactive materials, the integration of authentic scientific practices and the negotiation of the social aspects of science.
