Centros de ciencia en Colombia: intercambio de conocimiento tácito entre los mediadores y el público en la comunicación de la ciencia
Science Centers in Colombia: Exchange of Tacit Knowledge Between Mediators and the Public in the Communication of Science
Centros de Ciências na Colômbia: troca de conhecimento tópico entre mediadores e público na comunicação da ciência
Resumen (es)
El artículo presenta las evidencias de conocimiento tácito de los mediadores cuando llevan a cabo la comunicación de la ciencia desde las variables de la cultura organizacional, las cualidades personales y las dimensiones destinadas al intercambio de saberes. Para obtener las certezas del saber ser y el saber hacer de los mediadores, hemos utilizado con ellos el método de entrevistas cara a cara, y definir así las diferentes categorías. La explicitación del conocimiento tácito sirve como guía para el diseño de estrategias que fortalecen la formación de las personas y fomentan el aprendizaje de los ciudadanos. Los centros que participaron en la investigación han sido Maloka, El Planetario Distrital, El Jardín Botánico de Medellín y el Jardín Botánico de Bogotá. Finalmente, se presenta una serie de consideraciones sobre el valor que tiene la codificación del conocimiento tácito, que hasta ese momento ha sido difícil de compartir por permanecer profunda y singularmente arraigado en la mente de las personas y, por ello, invisible; pero que de este modo aflora y sirve como insumo para, desde la mediación, ser de utilidad en la gestión de los centros de ciencia.
Resumen (en)
This paper presents evidence of the tacit knowledge of mediators when they communicate science from the variables of organizational culture, personal qualities, and dimensions intended to exchange knowledge. To obtain the certainties of the know-how of the mediators, we used face-to-face interviews, and thus defined the different categories. The explicitness of tacit knowledge serves as a guide for the design of strategies that strengthen the training of individuals and encourage citizen learning. The science centers that participated in the research were Maloka, Planetario Distrital, Jardín Botánico de Medellín, and Jardín Botánico de Bogotá. Finally, some considerations are presented on the value of the codification of tacit knowledge, which until then had been difficult to share as it remained deeply and uniquely rooted in people's minds, and, therefore, invisible, but that now emerges and serves as an input for the management of the Science Centers through mediation.
Resumen (pt)
O artigo apresenta evidências do conhecimento implícito dos mediadores quando realizam a comunicação da ciência a partir das variáveis da cultura organizacional, qualidades pessoais e dimensões destinadas à troca de conhecimento. Para obter as certezas do saber-ser e do saber-fazer dos mediadores, utilizamos com eles o método de entrevistas presenciais e, assim, definimos as diferentes categorias. A explicitação do conhecimento tópico serve como um guia para o desenho de estratégias que fortaleçam a formação das pessoas e estimulem a aprendizagem dos cidadãos. Os centros que participaram da pesquisa foram Maloka, Planetario Distrital, Jardín Botánico de Medellín e Jardín Botánico de Bogotá. Finalmente, há uma série de considerações sobre o valor da codificação do conhecimento legal que até aquele momento tem sido difícil de compartilhar porque permanece profunda e exclusivamente enraizada na mente das pessoas e, portanto, invisível; mas que dessa forma emerge e serve como um insumo para, a partir da mediação, ser útil na gestão dos Centros de Ciência.
