Playing to Define Science: a Dictionary of Words from Science Made by Children and for Children Authors Rosa Estopà Bagot Keywords: technical knowledge, lexicography, terminology, pedagogy Abstract Scientific knowledge is represented and transferred through words that have a specialized, precise and concise meaning. Although it is the specialists who know and use the correct words that convey the knowledge of their field, the process of specialization is gradual and slow and hence a base of specialized knowledge begins to form in the first years of a person’s life. In this article, we present an innovative lexicographical application that we are developing as part of the Playing to Define Science project. One of the aims of this project is to turn primary school children into small lexicographers and draw up a dictionary of 100 science words created by and for 6 and 7-year-old children. We have based our studies on those that argue we build our scientific knowledge from the categorizations contained in our immediate environment. Downloads Download data is not yet available.
