Socioscientific issues, Interactive exhibitions, Students’ perceptions, Activism, Responsible research and innovationAbstract
This quantitative research evaluates the impact of the exhibitions developed by science students under the scope of IRRESISTIBLE project – about the Responsible Research and Innovation dimensions of socioscientific issues – on the students' perceptions about their scientific competences and science classes. A pre- and post-test questionnaire was developed, validated and applied to students from 10 countries. Statistical analysis indicates that students improved perceptions about: 1) their skills in developing exhibitions as a way of raising awareness about topics related to science, technology and society; 2) the social relevance of science classes. As a conclusion, the educational potential of this educational strategy in the teaching of Chemistry is discussed.
