Pesquisa e inovação responsáveis e narrativas digitais: articulações no contexto da educação em ciências

Abstract

Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI - Responsible Research and Innovation) is an approach that works on a perspective of responsible citizenship, developing research in a collaborative way among different members and sectors of society, such as: industry, science, education, economy, governments and citizens. To develop the RRI principles, it uses digital narratives (ND), seeking to enhance the articulation of the axes that make up this approach. In this context, this research aims to identify the principles of the Responsible Research and Innovation approach in digital narratives production in a Research Group (IG) developed with Elementary School II students from a socio-scientific theme. The investigation is guided by the qualitative research paradigm. The methodological path was constituted by the bibliographic survey on RRI and ND and by the development of activities in the GI aimed at developing the skills of RRI, integrating the construction of the DN by the students in all its progress. The data were collected through the researcher's field diary, video recordings of the GI meetings and the narratives produced. As a result, it was possible to observe that during the development of ND, scientific knowledge construction elements emerged from reflections and criticisms in relation to environmental and social issues. The RRI axes appear in the DN produced by the students, directly and indirectly. With this strategy of DN integration to RRI practice, the students assumed an investigative stance, which brought together the activity developed at the school on the possibilities of intervention in society. The communication of the students' production during and after the completion of the DN, reinforces the feasibility of articulation between RRI and DN. In addition, there are evidences that the DN elaboration associated to an RRI perspective enables, both students and teachers, an improvement related to the Digital Technologies of Information and Communication pedagogical use.
