Together with our Explora RM Norte Project, We invite you to be part of an initiative in which you will be a guide and support for teams of teachers and students who are between the 1st to 4th grade courses (Mini Explorador@s) and 5th to IV Medium (School Science Clubs), belonging to educational establishments in the 20 communes that make up the PAR Explora RM Norte: Cerro Navia, Hill, Conchalí, Curacaví, Huechuraba, Independencia, Lampa, The Countess, Lo Barnechea, Lo Prado, María Pinto, Padre Hurtado, Providence, Pudahuel, Quilicura, Quinta Normal, Recoleta, Renca, Tiltil and Vitacura.
The general objectives of this initiative are to:
– Promote the development of competencies for research and innovation in the educational community, emphasizing questions and needs arising from your environment and everyday life collaboratively.
– Promote the social appropriation of research and innovation as a cultural practice in the educational community.
What is the role of scientific advisors??
Accompany in the process of the development of a school scientific research, being in direct contact with the teacher in charge and their students. At the same time, The advisor must contribute with his/her knowledge and experience so that the teams achieve, in this year 2024, carry out a research or innovation project to participate in the Regional and Interregional Socialization Meetings.
Additionally, Each advisor agrees to give a talk to students of the school on the topic they prefer and handle.
In Clubs, Students enroll topics within the following categories:
- Research:Research should be based on a question defined by the students, which will seek to respond through the construction of an adequate research/innovation methodology. The different areas in which they can develop their research are as follows:
– Natural and/or exact sciences: corresponds to research that addresses life sciences phenomena, Physical, Chemical, of the earth, Medical, health care, Agricultural, among others.
–Social sciences: corresponds to research that addresses phenomena of sociology, History, geography, economy, psychology, among others.
– Arts & Humanities: research that addresses phenomena or problems related to the study of the human condition.
- Innovation:Innovation projects must be developed based on a problem or need that students detect in their communities and that, based on technological and/or innovative solutions, seek to resolve. The different areas in which they can develop their innovations are as follows:
– Scientific/Technological: when the changes and/or solutions introduced are of a technical or scientific nature.
–Social: when the generation of value for society is through the introduction of a product, A novel service or process that meets a societal need better than existing solutions, producing a favorable change in the social system.
In Mini Explorador@s, unlike Clubs, due to the age of the students, Guided activities are worked on, which for this year will be in Natural Sciences themes: Environment & Innovation.
The scientific advisor must be a professional who is currently pursuing postgraduate studies in one of these areas or, otherwise, who is a specialist in any of them. He must be a motivated person., who wants to contribute voluntarily and from their knowledge to the children who are starting in this stage of fundamental formation.
We will contact you when Clubs sign up in April, depending on the number of Clubs and Mini Clubs and their research topics.
