Volunteer Participation to STEM Education:Guidelines for a Co-creation Platform
One of the major goals of basic education is increasing the scientific literacy of the citizens besides preparing students for science-based vocations.Making conscious decisions about science and technology issues is essential for democratic participation.Scientific literacy in Turkey, as measured by PISA scores,is among the lowest within the OECD countries which is due to a great extend curricula designed for passive learning.Active learning encourages students to engage, construct their own knowledge,and put learning into practice.This can be achieved by creating an ecology that encourages active participation of various stakeholders.Recently, organisations have started to interact extensively with their external environment to explore and exploit knowledge that is needed to generate innovative ideas.This perspective has great potential for harnessing the power of co-creative teaching.Open innovation has great potential for providing an active learning ecology as it provides tools and methods for managing knowledge flows within a co-creative system.The aim of this study is to share our recent field experiences about the existing practice in informal learning at TEGV (Turkish Education Voluntaries Foundation) and to suggest some future directions for creating an open social innovation learning environment for STEM teaching.
