科技传播学的三大源头

20世纪上半叶,在一些看起来并不相关的研究领域中,先后出现了一些有关科技传播的研究,例如科学技术学对科技传播的研究、传播学对技术扩散的研究、“技术传播”对传播实践的研究,这些研究对科技传播学的产生和发展产生了重要作用,实际上成为科技传播学的三大源头。在未来发展中,科技传播学要在总结这些历史成果的基础上,培育新的研究传统,利用创新性的研究指导社会的科技传播事业发展。

The Three Sources of Science and Technology Communication

During the first half of the twentieth century,in some seemingly unrelated research fields appear the studies on science and technology communication,such as researches on science and technology communication in the science and technology study,on technology proliferation in the communication science,and communication practices on technological communication study,all of which can be regarded as the three sources of science and technology communication.The future development of the science and technology communication,on the basis of these historical achievements,should be promoted with new research tradition and innovative research guidance.
