This is an Explora initiative that seeks to support teams of teachers and students through training, accompaniment and assignment of scientific advisors that allow them to learn to ask questions, experiment, draw conclusions and seek explanations to understand the natural, social and/or technological world based on their experiences.
This initiative is an opportunity to develop new technological, scientific and innovation competencies in a collaborative environment Participate in our activities and be part of the transformation of education in the Northern Metropolitan Region!».
General Objectives:
Encourage the development of competencies for research and innovation in the educational community, emphasizing questions and needs that arise from their environment and daily life in a collaborative manner.
Promote the social appropriation of research and innovation as a cultural practice in the educational community.
The final goal of the initiative is that students develop research or innovation projects during the second semester of 2023 in the following areas:
- Research: Should be developed from a question defined by the students, which they will seek to answer through the construction of an appropriate research/innovation methodology. The different areas in which they can develop their research are the following:
- Natural and/or exact sciences: corresponds to research that addresses phenomena of biological, physical, chemical, earth, medical, health, agricultural sciences, among others.
- Social Sciences: corresponds to research that addresses phenomena of sociology, history, geography, economics, psychology, among others.
- Arts and Humanities: corresponds to research that addresses phenomena or problems related to the study of the human condition.
- Innovation: must be developed based on a problem or need that students detect in their communities and that, based on innovative solutions, they seek to solve. The different areas in which they can develop their innovations are the following:
- 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 new product, service or process that satisfies a social need in a better way than existing solutions, producing a favorable change in the social system.
