中文摘要:

      在国内越来越多的学者讨论“公众理解科学”的同时，国际上已经有一些学者将视线转到“公 民理解科学”的讨论上。“公众理解科学”与“公民理解科学”两者之间是有着紧密联系和重要差异的，这 种差异给出一种新的看待科学传播问题的立场。本文通过对于“公众理解科学”国内外研究现状的讨论，进 而对“公民”一词进行概念分析，讨论了公民教育与公众教育、公共教育等的差别。针对“公民理解科学” 中比较典型的案例进行分析，指出以公民的立场或视角看科学传播，与以往“公众”的立场看科学传播 的不同和意义。

英文摘要:

      Some international scholars have turned their attention to a discussion of“civil understanding of science” ， while more and more scholars in China have been discussing topics under the umbrella of “public understanding of science”. Albeit these two concepts are closely connected，the difference between them provides a new insight into the problems in the field of science communication. In this paper，the concept of“citizen”is analyzed through a discussion of the current state of the public understanding of science at both domestic and global level，and the difference between civic education，public education and common education is discussed as well. By adopting a typical case analysis of“citizens’understanding of science”，the paper reveals the difference and distinctive meaning of delving into science communication from the citizen’s position or perspective rather than the view under the frame of“public understanding of science”.
