This workshop SCIENTIFIC ACHIEVEMENTS OF MODERN SOCIETY is devoted to the Memory of Valerija Berlovskaja, who taught ESP and EAP at the Department of Cross-Cultural Communication and Foreign Languages of National Technical University “Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute” for more than 50 years.
Science and technology have generated knowledge, discoveries of new principles that have dramatically contributed to the development and progress of people’s lives, the economy, and society. However, social and public expectations for science and technology have become more sophisticated, diverse, and now faces new challenges that need urgent attention, for example, global environmental issues. Under these circumstances, international knowledge competition has intensified not only among western developed countries but also across Post-soviet space. Ukraine needs to develop its science and technology and integrate deeply and further into global academic discourse.
The aim of this workshop and Ph.D. class is to prepare its participants to communicate effectively in science and across cultural boundaries at Doctoral Level. It will also increase their understanding of issues and effective strategies of communicating across science and technology with culturally diverse audiences.
One of the workshop aims is to determine the directions, research the conditions, and the mechanism for updating the content of science education and teaching methods, to reflect recent advances across science and technology. The workshop will utilise the methodology of scientific rationality and reality transformation using scientific cognition with the goal of clearer communication that meets international standards. A systemic approach considered as the permanent influence of modern science on philosophy and civilizational approach, directly related to the ideas of scientific rationality applied as the leading methodological approaches. We consider the statement that post-non-classical rationality takes into account the correlation of knowledge about the object, but with the value-oriented structures of activity as well. It will explore how values, beliefs, and expectations differentiate science from other knowledge areas. The key here will be examining the Eurocentric privileging of modern science and its communication, which are an integral part of Western culture and need to become an integrated constituent part of Post-soviet academic culture. So that output is appreciated across the world.
To conclude the main objective of this seminar is to popularize science through the latest discoveries, and inventions of the decade in the areas of knowledge, where our Ph.D. students are currently carrying out research.
Learning Outcomes of the Workshop:
1. Reflect critically upon contemporary practices used to communicate science with culturally diverse audiences;
2. Research and describe the problems/issues of culture in the broader discourses of public awareness of science;
3. Identify and analyse popular cultural beliefs and the attitudes that underpin the communication of scientific/technological advancements.
