Science is a collection of stories and television is an important medium through which these stories are retold, in various ways and using various characters. The chapter examines the natures of science that are constructed on television on different genres of programmes such as citizen science, children’s educational programming, documentaries, and entertainment-education. A review of studies that inform our understanding of how we learn from the science we view on television is presented. Science communicators, including those involved in constructing science on television, need to work in collaboration with each other in order to most effectively present science that is both engaging and is in keeping with citizen science and inquiry science perspectives. |
