Resumo:
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.
