ABSTRACT

The starting idea 1 is simple: characterize, as succinctly as possible, how knowledge is disseminated in the research field, then compare it with the school method–called “formal dissemination”–and finally compare it with the method instituted by the science exhibition–called “non-formal” dissemination. Why make such a comparison? On one hand, to discern the respective properties of these three types of dissemination, and, on the other, to spark a reflection on the modalities of non-formal appropriation.
