  • Research on Public Understanding of Big Data Information Collection and Privacy Issue
    Studies on Science Popularization. 2023, 18(2): 92-99.
    With the advent of big data, privacy and information security have become one of the most widely discussed issues in using big data. Domestic and foreign researchers have made some achievements regarding the conflict and balance between big data sharing and privacy protection. Still, the public as the core stakeholder has been somewhat ignored. As for the privacy issue of personal information collection and processing in the era of big data, there is still a lack of research on public understanding. So this study taking Sina Weibo, a widely used social media in China, as the object, we collected the content analysis of all items about big data and privacy from January to February 2020. In addition, 214 questionnaires were taken by members of the public in the Beijing area in April 2021. On the basis of the above two types of research, the current status of "public understanding of big data" in mainland China is summarized as follows: (1) the public has a limited understanding of the privacy issues brought by big data technology; (2) Communication of various media is not in place; (3) There is no systematic open supervision mechanism for monitoring of big data technology. The possible deep reasons and the solution under the concept of public understanding science are discussed.

    The action to improve teenagers' scientific literacy is an important part of the whole nation's scientific literacy construction. This study investigated the chain mediating effect of scientific epistemological beliefs and scientific self-efficacy on the relationship between family socioeconomic status (SES) and students' achievements in science. Using a questionnaire adapted from the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), we evaluated middle school students' achievements in science and relevant characteristics (N=651, 16.17±0.54 years old). We know that the students' achievements in science are also used as an indicator of students' scientific literacy. The results showed that: (1) family SES, scientific epistemological beliefs, scientific self-efficacy and students' achievements in science were positively correlated with each other; (2) family SES positively affect scientific epistemological beliefs and scientific self-efficacy respectively; (3) scientific epistemological beliefs and scientific self-efficacy have a chain mediating effect on the relationship between family SES and students' achievements in science. These results suggested that improving the scientific literacy of disadvantaged students can be promoted by enhancing scientific epistemological beliefs and self-efficacy.

  • Research on Matching Supply and Demand of Rural Science Popularization and Path Optimization under the Perspective of New Demand
    Studies on Science Popularization. 2023, 18(1): 34-41.
    Optimizing the supply and demand structure of rural science popularization is the key to the good development of rural science popularization practice. In the context of the comprehensive promotion of rural revitalization, modern agricultural industries are developing rapidly, and new agricultural organizations and new farmers have generated a lot of new demands for science popularization, which poses a strong challenge to the rural science popularization work system operating in the traditional supply mode at this stage. Based on the preliminary in-depth rural research and village-based interviews, this paper summarizes the four major new demand directions of rural science popularization：talent, platform, resource, and mechanism demand. From the supply and demand model of rural science popularization, we explore the current situation of its supply and demand matching and the main influencing factors and propose four optimization paths worthy of attention in the next step, such as deepening the science and technology commissioner system, establishing a socialized collaborative science popularization service platform, attaching importance to grassroots science and technology demonstration, and building a characteristic science popularization mechanism according to local conditions.
