FIRST NATIONAL SURVEY ON PUBLIC PERCEPTION OF SCIENCE FIRST NATIONAL SURVEY ON PUBLIC PERCEPTION OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY IN CHILE (2016) AND TECHNOLOGY IN CHILE (2016) The First National Survey on Public Perception of Science and Technology in Chile is a baseline for the relationship between our current society with the scientific and technological activity of the country. From this perspective, one of the most significant findings is the level of interest on science and technology stated by the individuals. Among six different topics they were consulted on, science ranks fourth, being interesting for 58.1% of the population 15 years or older residing in Chile, while 68.4% finds technology interesting, placing it second in the list of the most interesting topics (sport was highlighted in the first place, with 68.8%). If the level of interest seemed positive, the situation changed when people were asked about their level of information about the same topics: within the population that feels little or not informed, science ranks first with 76.9%, while 65.2% feels the same regarding technology.
FIRST NATIONAL SURVEY ON PUBLIC PERCEPTION OF SCIENCE FIRST NATIONAL SURVEY ON PUBLIC PERCEPTION OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY IN CHILE (2016) AND TECHNOLOGY IN CHILE (2016) Delving deeper, 70% of Chileans understands that science and technology not only make our lives easier and more comfortable, but also that their scopes are tools to better face issues of great relevance, such as health care and the prevention of diseases, the protection of our surroundings and environment, and our understanding of the world. Finally, and as a sign of how little is known about scientific and technological development in the country as well as of how much more we need to make progress in the relationship between society and science and technology, only 17% of the interviewees answers that they recognize an institution dedicated to science and technology, mainly referring to universities.
