Com base em exemplos extraídos de textos destinados aos jovens e ao público leigo em geral, aponta a existência de três tendências no tratamento da informação científica: a dramatização ou sensacionalismo, a mistificação e a banalização. Considerando-as tipos genéricos, busca avaliar os reflexos negativos que estas distorções conferem à viculação de conhecimentos científicos, comprometendo gravemente a função educativa que tal divulgação atualmente cumpre.]]></p></abstract>

Taken as generic types, these trends are evaluated as bringing about negative reflects on to the vulgarization of scientific knowledge, seriously affecting the educational function it fulfills nowadays.]]></p></abstract>
