Construction and Analysis of the Index of the Construction Capacity of Civic Science Literacy in China

Abstract

The Construction of Chinese Civic Scientific Literacy (CCSL) was the outcome of the promotion and implementation of the Outline of National Scientific Literacy. It was significant to evaluate the development of CCSL in each area. In this paper, relevant statistical data of civic scientific literacy were abstracted from the Statistics of Science and Technology Popularization in China to construct the Index of the Construction of Chinese Civic Scientific Literacy (ICCCSL). Through the measurement analysis of the ICCCSL, the status of CCSL in each area was clearly reflected and a theoretical guideline was provided for the fair development of CCSL.
