Communicating Brazilian science still seems to be a challenge for journalists and researchers of public institutions of education and science. In this sense, this research aims to identify and analyze scientists' perceptions regarding the work of journalists, the relationship between these groups, the expectations, and the challenges of science communication in two Federal Institutes of Education in Brazil. We conducted a mixed study in the qualitative stage with the participation of 30 interviewees, and in the quantitative stage, journalists and researchers answered a questionnaire (n = 242). Our results indicated that the work of science communication is not carried out properly in both Institutes and that there is a lack of articulated work among both journalists, communicators, and researchers. The relationship between these groups needs to be built jointly. In this respect, the biggest challenges are to institutionalize science communication, establish a science communication plan, and overcome internal relationship barriers. Our results may underpin science communication policies and policies for scientific dissemination both institutional or even national levels.
对于新闻记者和公立教育及科研机构的研究人员来说，传播巴西科学仍然是一项挑战。从这个意义上说，本研究旨在识别和分析科学家对记者工作的看法、这两个群体之间的关系、对科学传播的期望，以及在巴西的两个联邦教育机构中科学传播所面临的挑战。我们在定性阶段进行了一项混合研究，有 30 名受访者参与，在定量阶段，记者和研究人员回答了一份问卷（n=242）。我们的结果表明，这两个机构都没有正确地开展科学传播工作，记者、传播者和研究人员之间缺乏协调一致的工作。这些群体之间的关系需要共同建立。在这方面，最大的挑战是使科学传播制度化，制定科学传播计划，并克服内部关系障碍。我们的研究结果可能为机构或甚至国家层面的科学传播政策和科学传播政策提供依据。
