本文从科普政策、科普基础设施建设和大众媒体与新媒体的科普实践三个维度出发,选取英国、美国和日本作为讨论对象,梳理三国在各维度中的发展脉络,并着重分析最新趋势,选取典型和有借鉴意义的实践案例进行介绍。其中,英国是科学传播理论主要发源国家,美国是科普发展商业化高度成熟的国家,而日本是科技实力雄厚、文化地理上与中国更接近的亚洲国家,通过对这三个典型国家科普政策与实践的比较分析发现,英国和日本注重将科普政策纳入国家顶层设计,美国更倾向于激发高校和科技企业参与科普基础设施建设的潜力。此外,近十年来,三国都积极利用新媒体技术提升面向大众的科普能力。基于分析,本文指出,典型国家政策与实践对我国科普事业的启示意义在于,要推动更多科普政策进入国家顶层方针,同时建立鼓励高校和企业参与科普实践的机制,并积极应用推广新媒体技术。
<<This chapter discusses science popularization policy,science popularization infrastructure and how to use mass media and new media to popularize science in the UK,the United States and Japan. The development history of the three themes in three countries are illustrated,as well as focusing on their latest trends. This paper also selects typical and referential practical cases for reference and analysis. Among three countries,UK is the main country where science communication theory originated,the United States is a country with highly mature commercialization of science popularization sector,and Japan is an Asian country with strong scientific and technological strength and close to China in culture and geography. Through the analysis and comparison,the research finds that both UK and Japan tend to put science popularization policies into a high-level national framework,while the US encourages heavily universities and companies to take part in science popularization activities and build related infrastructures towards the public. Besides,all three countries actively use new media to attract public regarding science popularization activities. Based on these discussions,this study suggests that China should attach more importance to releasing more national science popularization policies,and stimulate higher education and enterprises joining science popularization in society. Last but not least,new media technology should be widely applied to improve science popularization toward the public.
