Research Abstract

Almost of all the science communication has been conducted as a one-sided communication from scientists to non-scientists through scientific lectures or magazines for many years. This research notes a methodological change in 'science cafe', develops a technical method of 'public acceptance', while concerning the understanding of the scientific issues in the society. The research goal is to improve the science communication more effectively, especially on complex social topics, to foster understanding of scientific complex issues. As a key concept in the evolving links between science and society, game or gaming simulation was integrated into the science communication to deliver the overall situation regarding complex issues. The experimental results showed that the role play in the gaming encouraged the participants, and enriched their understanding for the issues.
