Science Capital

1 report
Science Capital is a science-literacy topic concerned with interpreting evidence, probability, sources, uncertainty, and disagreement. The concept is evaluated through uncertainty interpretation and evidence evaluation, keeping formal definitions and assumptions separate from observations or consequences.

Readers following Science Capital encounter communication or participation practices; misconceptions and barriers; and educational or policy interventions. The discussion asks what can be established from longitudinal outcomes about misconceptions and barriers and whether a compatible result appears in validated assessments; the evidence cannot remove the concern that test performance may not capture how people evaluate evidence in real decisions.
