This chapter shows that, contrary to what some researchers claim, setting up the conditions for a “playful environment” is not so simple, in particular when it comes to organizing a new competition for the popularization of science (MT180®). In fact, we will see that popularization does not fit so easily into the “playful environment” desired by the organizers due to the gamified nature of the approach, which gradually colonizes the initial desire to present one's scientific work and pushes some participants to exaggerate their results in order to go as far as possible in the competition. It is therefore feared that the gamification of scientific work, while compatible with neoliberal expectations, will in fact lead to the production of bad science. The question then arises as to whether the need to turn researchers into effective communicators with a view to building the “knowledge society” advocated by international institutions can be achieved through gamified approaches, with the risk of creating an ever-greater distance between (real) scientific knowledge and citizens.

Modern society is increasingly acquiring features of a ‘knowledge society’ as it develops based on the processes of production, distribution and use of scientific knowledge that allow to construct a new social reality, its economic and mental structures, a new way of life. This context makes relevant the issues of changing the socio-cultural status, functions and new tasks of the Institute of Higher Education as one of the main producers and disseminators of scientific knowledge. Much attention at the present stage of development of higher education is paid to the problem of transferring it to a musical innovative basis, i.e. considering such musical innovative elements in the training that would ensure an appropriate level of competitiveness of domestic education in the globalization of art. The article aims to substantiate and develop the methodological approach to the analysis of accordion art of Serbia in the context of the introduction of musical innovations. The research develops and substantiates a methodological approach to the analysis of accordion art, the main essential features of which are the assessment of each individual art component of experimental training, generalization of results and implementation of measures to improve the quality of professional communicative competence. It specifies indicators based on sustainable art components. To determine the intervals for assessing the quality of performance of future music teachers in the process of teaching accordion, the author proposes a corresponding scale.


The contemporary analysis of science is impossible without taking into account sociocultural characteristics. Philosophy of science suggests the comprehensive analysis according to three main directions: a methodological direction, a sociological direction, and a socio-cultural direction. Two last directions allow to take into consideration influence socio-cultural factors have on scientific knowledge. The sociocultural aspect of researching science contains studying it as a social phenomenon, as a collective and social process first of all. Realizing a social need in sociocultural researches of science was caused by a necessity to describe the most important social functions of science in a separate independent shape. This approach allows to distinguish a number of typical phenomena and science categories which enable an adequate opportunity to explain its social qualities. The comprehending of results of a sociocultural approach contains also using a culturological analysis of science. It is worth noting that such approach had been formed in Kant’s philosophy and in philosophy of Schiller who was a Kant follower in terms of developing philosophical ideas but it had been disregarded by a philosophical community till the middle of the 20th century. In a number of modern philosophical conceptions, the sociocultural is defined even more broadly and is corresponded to the actual concept. The presented research will also help to designate the feature of the articulation of “knowledge/society” in the modern philosophical and culturology conceptions. Peculiarities of producing scientific knowledge are caused by corresponding characteristics of a science object.

In the contemporary society also called the knowledge society, science is the most important form of knowledge development. Knowledge is a specialized area of spiritual production, with its own tools of knowledge, experience and traditions of research activities, an information and communication system, experimental and laboratory equipment, etc. In this sense, scientific knowledge requires the conscious application of specially developed methods, which are based on previous achievements of knowledge. This article makes an incursion into the concept of scientific knowledge, it is proposed to classify scientific knowledge into levels, being revealed the means and methods of scientific knowledge of social phenomena. Also here with reference to these means and methods of scientific knowledge of social phenomena is detailed the module of choice 5B: Experimental methods in humanities in computer science in the twelfth grade, describes the contradictions that have increased attention to this problem, the problem is formulated research, together with the purpose and objectives of the research, mentioning the expected results.

AbstractThe transition to a knowledge society in South East Asia since the 1970s has produced differing effects in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. The paper explores the challenges and existing collaborations of Indonesia's knowledge society. On the basis of a qualitative investigation based on interviews with 18 policymakers in Indonesia, observations from eight meetings and documentary analysis from 2011 to 2016, the paper sheds light on the historical, structural and scientisation problems encountered by Indonesia's knowledge society. This includes the challenges that academia faces in scientific knowledge production at the micro level and macro level. Further, the analysis suggests that existing collaborations between different governmental levels and academia are based on trust and friendship rather than scientific pursuits. Also, collaboration between industry and academia is likely to occur when the industry acts as an initiator. The author contends that for a knowledge society to materialise in Indonesia, challenges need to be managed and certain collaborations that nurture scientific knowledge production need to be cultivated.

Public communication of sciences is of strategic relevance in the transition from the industrial society to the knowledge society. The Master’s Course in Scientific, Medical and Environmental Communication of Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona (Spain) responds to this economic, social and cultural need. The result: professionals who clearly understand the key aspects of the transmission of scientific knowledge to society through the different essential communication channels in multiple organizations as, among others, mass media, institutional and public relations and museums. This initiative collaborates also to build informed and educated citizens, who understand, accompany and are able to participate in the necessary and unavoidable adaptation to this new society.
