Is Misinformation a Challenge for Science Students in the Digital Era?
Abstract
This chapter will focus on the perception of scientific topics throughout digital dissemination and educational activities. By assessing the evolution on the impact of massive online information dissemination in scientific topics, the chapter aims to address the issue of quality and reliability of scientific information, disseminated towards university students. For this assessment, it will be argued if we must be concerned about a new generation of students being (intentionally or not) misinformed about core insights of their development. This will be done by outlining the major influences of digital and social media in science students' scholastic activities. By adapting scientific models on the spread of misinformation, this chapter argues how students can be subject to gather and to be exposed to unfiltered data, which can potentially be demeaning to their educational development.
