    04/02/2019 Presentation for the Committee on Culture and Education 1


    Objectives of the study
    Context
     Spread of misinformation: importance of scientific literacy in the public
    debate on science-related issues (e.g. health, energy, climate)

    Objectives
     Propose a framework definition of scientific literacy
     Overview the level of scientific literacy among EU population
     Identify effective education policy approaches to support scientific
    literacy
     Provide recommendations to the CULT Committee

    04/02/2019 Presentation for the Committee on Culture and Education 2


    The concept of scientific literacy
    Challenges
     Multiple definitions and ‘visions’ of scientific literacy in terms of
    knowledge, competences, attitudes
    Findings
     Importance of a broader framework for scientific literacy: considering
    fundamental literacy, scientific knowledge and competences, contextual
    understanding, critical thinking and civic engagement
     Relevance of scientific literacy in relation to media literacy, active
    citizenship, global competence
    Recommendations
     Address science and scientific literacy in a comprehensive way, taking
    into account various contexts, broader competences
     Develop guidelines to support the implementation of the European
    Framework of Key Competences
    04/02/2019 Presentation for the Committee on Culture and Education 3
    The role of scientific literacy in the
    ‘misinformation age’
    Challenges
     Potential consequences of science-related misinformation on the
    general public (e.g. public health)
    Findings
     Role of cognitive, social and technological biases: confirmation bias,
    false consensus, echo chambers, algorithms
     Impact of disinformation campaigns on scientific debates: examples
    of the ‘debate’ on vaccines and climate change
    Recommendations
     Complement fact-checking initiatives with ‘inoculation’ approaches
     Promote research on impact of misinformation and effectiveness of
    counter-measures

    04/02/2019 Presentation for the Committee on Culture and Education 4


    Scientific literacy in Europe
    Challenges
     Limits to the comprehensive assessment of scientific literacy
    Findings
     PISA 2015 shows differences in achievement in science across the
    EU and low engagement in science-related activities
     Eurobarometer data show generally positive view on science- and
    technology-related issues in Europe
    Recommendations
     Use funding programmes to develop assessment instruments to
    better measure scientific literacy and update the PISA framework
     Use Eurobarometer to identify and analyse factors that shape
    scientific thinking

    04/02/2019 Presentation for the Committee on Culture and Education 5


    Educational policies and practices to
    foster scientific literacy
    Challenges
     Promote a comprehensive approach to scientific literacy at EU level
    Findings
     Gap observed in several EU countries between the aims of science
    education and the expected learning outcomes
     Contrasting results about the effectiveness of various science teaching
    practices on students’ achievement
     Non-formal and informal learning environments can promote scientific
    literacy by raising the interest of the general public in science
    Recommendations
     Encourage Erasmus+ projects aimed at the design, piloting and
    exchange of innovative teaching practices for scientific literacy
     Provide professional development opportunities for the promotion of
    innovative science teaching practices
