广义科普知识的划界与分层

基于对科普知识的广义理解,将科普知识分为核心层、中间层与外围层三个层面。核心层是在"学院科学"理念下的简化的科学知识,遵守默顿的CUDOS规范;中间层是与生产生活相结合的后学院科学知识,遵守齐曼的PLACE规范;外围层是与社会文化相结合的生活科学知识,遵守BASIC规范,且各层次从目的、理念、内容、模式、物化表现等方面都各具特点。这三个层面的科普知识从核心到外围没有绝对界限,但从"纯净"的基础科学知识到社会、文化因素渗透的趋势越来越强。科普知识的细分与深层剖析为更好地开展科普工作提供理论参考。

Demarcation and Hierarchy of Generalized Popular Scientific Knowledge

In its broad sense, popular scientific knowledge could be divided into three levels, namely, the core layer, the intermediate layer and the peripheral layer. The core layer refers to the simplifed scientific knowledge under a philosophy of ＂academic science＂, complying with Merton＇s CUDOS Criterion. The intermediate layer represents post- academic scientific knowledge which is combined with manufacture and real life, complying with Ziman＇s PLACE Criterion. And the peripheral layer, is living scientifc knowledge which is combined with society and culture, complying with Zeng Guoping＇s BASIC order. Each level has different characteristics by purpose, philosophy, content, pattern, physical performance and other aspeets. There are no absolute boundaries among the three levels from the core to the periphery, but there is an obvious trend from ＂ pure＂ basic scientific knowledge to culture-penetrated scientific knowledge. Detailed segmentation and deep analysis of popular scientific knowledge may provide science popularization work with theoretical implications.
