Descripción del proyecto
La educación científica para ayudar a las generaciones jóvenes a construir visiones empoderadoras sobre su futuro
El desarrollo científico y tecnológico ha estado impulsando cambios sociales rápidos y los sistemas educativos tienen dificultades para seguir el ritmo de estas transformaciones. En consecuencia, los jóvenes no encuentran en la educación los recursos necesarios para construir visiones empoderadoras sobre su futuro y desarrollar competencias para orientarse en una sociedad compleja, frágil y de rápida evolución. Se necesita con urgencia una educación científica eficaz para las generaciones futuras. El proyecto FEDORA, financiado con fondos europeos, tiene como objetivo desarrollar un modelo orientado al futuro que facilite la educación científica formal e informal para ofrecer a los jóvenes competencias de prospectiva, imaginación y acción. Concretamente, el proyecto permitirá que la investigación en educación científica desarrolle metodologías que aborden los principales factores del desajuste actual entre los sistemas educativos y la sociedad. Luego se formularán recomendaciones de políticas anticipatorias para la creación de actitudes visionarias nuevas sobre la escolarización abierta y las transformaciones institucionales.
Objetivo
The relation between science and society is strongly influenced by the impressive acceleration of scientific and technological development. Within this society of acceleration (H. Rosa), the young are experiencing a sense of derangement and an alarming sense of loss of future and hope.
FEDORA will develop a future-oriented model to enable formal and informal science education to equip the young with thinking, foresight and action competence skills needed to grapple with the societal challenges.
In particular, the project aims to address three forms of misalignment that emerge from the difficulties of the educational systems to keep the pace of societal changes: a) the clash between, on one hand, the vertical and hyper-specialized organization of teaching in disciplines and, on the other, the inter-multi-transdisciplinary, multi-actor and open character of the new modus operandi of R&I; b) the mismatch between the formalized and exclusive languages used in schools and the needs for new languages to enhance imagination and the capacity to talk about the contemporary challenges; c) the clash between the a-temporal or historically oriented teaching approaches and the need to support the young to construct visions of the future that empower actions in the present.
These forms of misalignment represent blind spots for science education that FEDORA will explore through a multi-layer (institutional, conceptual, cultural) research approach, an articulated structures of actions and a multiform set of research methodologies (qualitative and quantitative surveys, design-driven and Delphi Study methodologies,..).
The actions and results will feed into recommendations for anticipatory policies aimed to mobilise visionary attitudes on open-schooling and to orient concrete institutional transformations to nurture, in secondary school students, a new sense of trust and desire needed to support an aware, responsible and sustainable participation in science-related societal issues.
