چکیده:
Epistemology is well-known in philosophy, but agnotology, the opposite of epistemology, is a new subject that needs more investigation. Robert Proctor is the first one who initiated studying ignorance as an independent field and termed it agnotology. It is possible to examine agnotology in different areas, as Proctor conducted a detailed research on the agnotology of tobacco industry. Likewise, Science and Public Participation has been scientifically studied by academic institutions only for the past few decades. Public Participation in science is important to improving the interaction between scientists and laymen, science and society. The improvement of public participation in science, leads to scientific and cultural progress. In this essay, we try to study the patterns of public participation in science from an agnotological standpoint.

Epistemology, ignorance, agnotology, science communication, public engagement in science Introduction In the last century, with the dazzling progress of science and technology and the increasing entry of modern technologies into people's daily lives, a need for a minimum level of scientific literacy among the general public was felt.
To explain public engagement in science, the deficit model<FootNote No="305" Text=" Deficit model"/> was initially proposed, but it was criticized for various reasons, including having an extreme view regarding the lack of scientific awareness among the masses, and ultimately, the interpretive/engagement model replaced it.
Using ethnography instead of quantitative research methods provides a non-abstract definition of the relationship between science, knowledge, and the public based on social and cultural probabilities, as well as the concepts of specialized and indigenous knowledge and the key and clear characteristics of each, but this definition is dependent on the conditions of the place and era in which individuals live.
For example, based on the words of Callon (1999), the interpretative/critical version of public understanding of science changes the assumption that says scientific competence and public awareness increase through learning from experts, to a view that says the priority of public education for the illiterate and their participation in scientific and epistemological discussions is their need and right.
