GARCIA, Marisa C.. PUBLIC PERCEPTION OF SCIENCE: WHAT IS SCIENCE? WHAT IS PUBLIC? THE IMPACT OF ETHNOGRAPHIC APPROACHES IN STUDIES OF THE PUBLIC PER CEPTION OF SCIENCE. Ens. Pesqui. Educ. Ciênc. [online]. 2010, vol.12, n.1, pp.159-170. ISSN 1983-2117. https://doi.org/10.1590/1983-21172010120110.
This paper examines the impact of the ethnographic approach in the public understanding of science. First of all, I present the guide lines on which the first studies were developed and the conceptions of science and public which supported them. Secondly, I introduce the ethnographic perspective that guided a new analysis model for the public perception of science. Finally, I conclude with a brief balance of the scope and the limitations of that perspective and the field current situa tion.
