SCIENTIFIC LITERACY AND RESPONSIBLE RESEARCH AND INNOVATION (RRI): THE BRAZILIAN EXPERIENCE OF OPEN SCHOOLING DURING THE CONNECT PROJECT

This paper reports an experience of Open Schooling subsidized by the CONNECT project, aiming to promote a more engaging pedagogical work with scientific issues. Drawing on research on Open Schooling (EUROPEAN COMMISSION, 2018; OKADA, RODRIGUES, 2018), Scientific Literacy (BRANCO et al., 2020; BNCC, 2017; SANTOS, 2007) and Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) (EUROPEAN COMMISSION, 2012; OKADA, 2015; 2016), it intends to discuss strategies that contribute to new, more engaged, and collaborative educational approaches on topics pertinent to scientific innovations. To this end, we present this experience report, which reflects on the application of a didactic sequence based on the methodology of the CONNECT project that was applied in three classes of 2nd grade of high school in a private high school in Parana. The results show that open schooling allied with RRI is one of the ways to promote a more critical and reflective scientific learning on the part of the students.
