In this working paper we have collected some working notes for the development of an interdisciplinary research on the interaction of Italian teenagers with the scientific information available on the Internet. Despite Internet results to be the main instrument of information of teenagers, much less is known about how much the young web users are able to select and evaluate the information. In order to analyze the problem and to study a possible intervention with an action-research approach it is necessary to join competences on sociology of science and science education.References
