espanolIntroduccion. Este trabajo presenta y evalua un ejercicio formativo en relacion al papel potencial de la prensa en la divulgacion cientifica y en la apropiacion de la ciencia por los ciudadanos. Sujetos y metodos. Participaron 161 alumnos distribuidos en grupos de 5-6 para realizar el trabajo propuesto en forma de seminario. Los alumnos seleccionaron articulos de ciencia y medicina publicados en diarios nacionales o regionales para identificar en ellos terminos cientificos y medicos y formar opinion para manifestar su acuerdo con la siguiente afirmacion: ‘la debilidad de la cultura cientifica espanola se debe a su escasa divulgacion’. Resultados. Los alumnos seleccionaron 103 articulos e identificaron 294 terminos, la mayoria relacionados con enfermedades y solo seis con ciencias naturales. Todos los grupos coincidieron en la baja cultura cientifica de los espanoles; el 61,29% la atribuyo a la escasa divulgacion cientifica, mientras que el 38,71% restante considero que la divulgacion es adecuada, hay informacion suficiente en los diarios y en un numero apreciable de revistas, ademas de television e Internet. Conclusion. Entre los alumnos existe una opinion unanime en que la cultura cientifica es reducida, pero no en las causas. Sin embargo, la mayoria coincide en que puede deberse a unos planes de estudios que no promueven adecuadamente la ciencia ni la cultura cientifica, ademas del poco interes de la poblacion y de las autoridades gubernamentales en su promocion y difusion. El interes y la motivacion personal pueden explicar la divergencia de opinion entre los alumnos. EnglishIntroduction. This study presents and evaluates a formative exercise about the potential role of the press in scientific diffusion and in the social appropriation of science. Subjects and methods. 161 students participated in the study distributed in groups of five or six to perform the proposed assignments in a seminar form. Medicine and science articles published in national and regional newspapers were selected by the students to identify specific medical and scientific terms and to have their own opinion to agree with the statement: ‘the weakness of Spanish scientific culture is due to its limited diffusion’. Results. 103 articles were selected and 294 terms identified, most of them related with diseases and only six with natural sciences. All groups agree with the low scientific culture of the Spanish people. A 61.29% attributed this to scarce scientific communication, whereas the other 38.71% considered that scientific diffusion is adequate due to there is enough information in newspapers and magazines besides television and Internet. Conclusion. There was no unanimity about the causes of scientific backwardness. However, most students agree that it could be attributed to the little interest of Government authorities and other people in promoting science and scientific culture, what in the end is reflected also in curricula. In this study, the interest and personal motivation of each student may explain the different views between them.
