Abstract. This work addresses the issue of scientific literacy and its connection to the responsibility of scientists in relation to public engagement. The points of departure are, first, the notion of science as a global public good, and, second, developments in the past few decades driven largely by the digital revolution.

Science literacy is critical to the public, Lodl said. Scientific knowledge helps people to be better-informed and make the best decisions possible with the best available knowledge. In the long run, she added, great decisions are based on reliable, factual research. The IANR focus on science literacy begins with pre-kindergarten and extends to

The disclosure of conflicts of interest is vital to reinforce public trust in the probity of the scientific process. The Covid-19 pandemic has emphasized the importance of scientific literacy both in the wider population and among decision-makers, such as local and central government officials and parliamentarians.

The paper provides a systematic theoretical analysis of the main visions of the concept of scientific literacy developed in the last 20 years. It is described as a transition from a transmissive educational vision of scientific literacy (Vision-I) to a transformative vision (Vision-III), with a stronger engagement with social participation and emancipation. Using conceptual tools from

The definition of scientific literacy now included this new element—a recognition of the harmful effects and limitations of the scientific enterprise. Science, in this view, needed to be humanized and the National Science Foundation launched a "science literacy" initiative in 1971 to try and meet that need (Douglas, 1974). During these

Scientific Literacy. Originating in the 1950s, the term "scientific literacy" has been used to express diverse goals ranging from a broad knowledge of science to a particular purpose of science education (Bybee 1997 ). In 1958, Paul DeHart Hurd provided a clear perspective when he described scientific literacy as an understanding of science

We need both science literacy and scientific literacy for effective participation in the real world. Some people do need specific information, but informed decision-making is a social process and also requires a society of scientifically literate thinkers to make wise choices and to help combat racism, sexism, bigotry, and social injustice by allowing us to distinguish reliable scientific

In Science Matters: Achieving Scientific Literacy, "science literacy" is defined as "the knowledge you need to understand public issues . . . to put new [scientific] advances into a context that will allow you to take part in the national debate about them" (1991a:xii). Unproblematic as this definition might seem at first glance, the authors

Moreover, scientific literacy provides an important basis for making informed social decisions. Science is a human process carried out in a social context, which makes it relevant as a part of our science education. In order for people to make evidence-informed decision, everyone should seek to improve their scientific literacy.

Science literacy as essential facts and concepts. One frequently articulated educational goal is that each scientific discipline should provide all students with a coherent set of facts and concepts through which to view the physical world ().This is the meaning of science literacy adopted by the Next Generation Science Standards and the National Research Council report on which they are based

According to the above cited report, science literacy broadly refers to "familiarity with the enterprise and practice of science" ().But although there is widespread agreement that a science-literate citizenry should be the norm in modern democracies, scholars have yet to clearly articulate what it concretely means to be science literate in the 21st century.
