1. Open Schooling with Collaborative Scientific
Action for the Environmental Protection of
Wild Animals in the Semi-Arid Northeast
RIBEIRO At. Al. - LSME/2021

2.  to see what scientists do
 to talk science with their families, and
 to appreciate the impact of science on the world
This research refers to the methodology of the CONNECT
Project’s schools’ planning.
The main objective of the project is to add more
opportunities to school curricula allowing students:

3. This is where CONNECT comes in!
An European funded project under the Horizon 2020 Science
with and for a Society Programme that aims to support
secondary schools to adopt open schooling by
integrating science action in the core of their curricula and
using participatory science with families, universities and
enterprises.

5. What are we doing now?
We are in the pilot phase, planning with local partners
(schools, teachers, students and society) regarding relevant
social issues of which these partners will choose the most
important to improve the Connect Care-Know-Do
Framework.

6. The part of the Connect Project’s pilot phase takes place in
the Antônio Magalhães Municipal School, a public elementary
school in the city of Irecê which is located in the state of
Bahia in Brazil, with 34 teachers and 810 students from this
very school.
Where are we doing it?

7. Which scientific issue was chosen?
Schools and partners decided to identify relevant scenarios
and collaborative scientific actions to prepare young students
to understand the problems of the natural environment caused
by man and their consequences for the balance of the planet.
Why?

8. Following recent researches, the trafficking of wild animals,
their capture, marketing, and the captivity of songbirds was
chosen. This is because it has a strong impact on Brazil’s
environmental balance and the illegal transport, death and
maltreatment of these birds has become prevalent, causing
or threatening them with extinction.
How?

9. The discussions in meetings, researches in scientific
literature, dialogues between the participants resulted in the
creation of the Rewinding Birds Brazil Project.
How are we doing it?
The objective is to implement collaborative scientific actions
with open education.

10. ACM School’s meeting – Irecê – Bahia - Brazil

11. Brazilian rewilding birds scientific question:
The focus of the research is to answer the following question:
how can the collaborative scientific partnership be co-evaluated
by those involved in open schooling for the conception and
implementation of curriculum plans for scientific education in
public schools of basic education to implement this project?

12. • 1.Open invitation and mobilization of basic education teachers as well as
universities, including their researchers, undergraduate and doctoral
students.
• 2.Weekly meetings to adapt the scenario to Rewilding Birds Brazil.
• 3.Coaching to support teachers in establishing partnerships and student
led scientific actions.
• 4.Co-evaluation of results using the European project instruments adapted
for Brazil.
Procedure

13. Exploratory action research with responsible research and
innovation principles (RRI). Data from synchronous and
asynchronous discussions using Microsoft Teams and
WhatsApp for interaction with the subjects. The
interpretation and model of CONNECT "Take Care-Act".
Methodology

14. The co-evaluation of several factors: The relevant and
engaging scenario; principle of open schooling; collaborative
scientific actions; planning and definition of study coverage
and focus; mobilization of participants. Areas of law,
pedagogy, language, biology, basic education; sciences;
technological resources, analysis software, databases and
ways of carrying out field activities.
