ПРІОРИТЕТНІ НАПРЯМИ ПОПУЛЯРИЗАЦІЇ УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ НАУКИ

Abstract

Popularization of science is a means of implementing its educational function. It allows supporting critical thinking and a certain minimum level of understanding of the complexity of the surrounding world and the features of its development. Ukrainian institutions embody the best world experience in grant funding of science - honest, transparent, carried out on a competitive basis. The state pays attention to science, maintains scientific schools, supports young scientists. A methodology is being developed for assessing the scientific system and promoting reform of the scientific sphere.
Scientific theory develops under the influence of various stimuli, which can be external and internal. External stimuli are unsolved problems and contradictions identified in the theory. Both those and others lead to the development of the theory in its basic forms
The Ukrainian state formulates its request to scientists, spreads the understanding that without science it is impossible to build an innovative economy. The grounds for popularizing science are: the desire of scientists to structure knowledge in their own and related fields, to obtain interaction with the public, which cannot be obtained through scientific publications; the need to defend their interests, to influence decision-making in society and the state; the desire to increase education
In the modern world, science is an indispensable part of our lives. It is aimed at improving the living space of a person and cannot be a simple part of official scientific institutions. Therefore, the popularization of scientific discoveries and innovations is a way to combat the unreasonable fear of the new.
The study should analyze possible strategies for popularizing scientific communication, especially in conditions of war and post-war reconstruction. Therefore, the study is aimed at establishing effective ways to promote scientific knowledge in the public space in modern realities. The analysis identifies the ways of medialization and digitalization that shape the specifics of popularizing science. It can be argued that scientific communication demonstrates the participation of the media, the share of which is constantly growing, and the strengthening of public interest in the world of science. Today, the process of popularizing science is characterized by the convergence of both science and the media, as well as science and politics.
