Science Education, Science Communication and Science Schemes for Science Popularisation cannot work in silos. They are interconnected like a spider web and demand better coordination to procure the desired results. In the recent past, several schemes like Knowledge and Awareness Mapping Platform (KAMP), Innovation in Science Pursuit for Inspired Research (INSPIRE), National Talent Search Scheme (NNTSE) among several others were launched by the science propagators to develop the scientific mindset in society through the senior school students. The study intends to explore the impact of several such schemes which have been launched to achieve this desired goal. A sincere effort has been made to identify those missing links and recommend suggestive changes. In the process, data from around 676 students in Delhi were collected to know their views on such schemes. The data collected were analyzed and accordingly interpreted. Prima facie, the study reveals the fact that science education is limited to rot learning and pass exams and not to internalise theoretical knowledge for practical usage. The young students in their tender age are receptive to the learnings imparted and are suited to be the right captive audience to take forward the message of science popularisation. Although a large sum ofmoney has been invested in institutions and programmes to promote science, there is still considerable scope to position and popularise science at the school level. The New Education Policy (NEP) and the New Science and Technology Innovation Policy (STIP) give an impetus for an effective intervention. Imparting Science Education to the students with an effective Students Behaviour Change Science Communication (SBCSC), linked to a Scientific Utility, will help in developing the desired Scientific Temper in society. |
