Review of National Conference on the Theoretical Study of Science Popularization: Theoretical and Practical Studies of Science Popularization

Abstract

Ever since modern science was introduced into China, Chinese progressive intellectuals began to actively communicate science, hoping to raise and improve the vision and quality of Chinese society. With the constant development of China’s popular science career and innovating popular science practices, the demand for theoretical research in science popularization is constantly increasing. Meanwhile, the abundant practice and study has formed a certain paradox with the research on science communication lagging behind. Thus, the need of the hour is to have a strong base for theoretical research (Chuanhong, 2010).
