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.
