ABSTRACT Addressing complex global issues – such as alterations in nutrient cycles, climate change, large-scale drought, widespread erosion, and new disease vectors – require adaptive changes in our collective behavior and policies. To date, approaches to advancing science literacy to address such challenges have generally failed to produce sufficient changes in behavior at the necessary scale. We suggest that past interventions have come up short due to a primary focus on individual change, rather than change that results that accrue in the small groups that are a basis for affiliation, social and cultural capital, and the domain where impacts tend to be replicated by others. Importantly, these are the same communities where scientific literacies are negotiated and grown. The authors illustrate the unique authority and social position that museums hold to activate such small groups toward solutions at a civic scale capable of matching scale of action to need.

提高社区科学素养

摘要 解决复杂的全球问题——例如营养循环的改变、气候变化、大规模干旱、广泛的侵蚀和新的疾病媒介——需要我们集体行为和政策的适应性变化。迄今为止,提高科学素养以应对此类挑战的方法通常未能在必要的规模上产生足够的行为改变。我们认为,由于主要关注个人变化,而不是在作为隶属关系、社会和文化资本以及影响倾向于复制的领域基础的小群体中产生的变化,过去的干预措施不足被别人。重要的是,这些社区都是协商和培养科学素养的社区。
