Abstract

How to attract the interest of the population to Science? What are the possibilities for access to scientific knowledge? These questions originated this work, which investigated the way in which the population perceives Science and which are the channels of search of information that they find. The participants were invited to answer a questionnaire about research institutes, importance of science, habit and sources of information. Despite the unanimity of the interviewees about the importance of science, only 58% have a habit of reporting on the subject and 80% of them use the internet as a source. Regarding the best way to make scientific dissemination: television, internet, classes in schools and public places were the most cited options. The scientific journal, often used by scientists to communicate their findings, was the less-cited alternative. However, this work establishes the most widely used sources of information about science.
