Literacia científica, educação para as alterações climáticas, aprendizagem colaborativaResumo
A promoção da literacia científica dos alunos no contexto das alterações climáticas exige estratégias educativas eficazes e baseadas em provas. Este documento explora os esforços de colaboração entre cientistas, educadores científicos, escolas e sociedade para melhorar a compreensão das actuais provas científicas, inovações e esperança construtiva. Desde 2010, a Finlândia implementou uma abordagem holística à educação sobre as alterações climáticas através da rede LUMA (STEM), envolvendo alunos e professores em actividades educativas formais, não formais e informais. A aprendizagem personalizada, como a utilização das perguntas dos alunos como ponto de partida, e a abordagem de co-design no âmbito da investigação baseada no design, revelaram-se eficazes na promoção de uma colaboração e envolvimento significativos. Este documento também introduz um modelo de literacia científica adaptado à educação para as alterações climáticas, salientando a importância de integrar novos conhecimentos científicos, processos, pensamento e a relação entre ciência, tecnologia e sociedade ao nível dos alunos através de esforços de colaboração.
