Environmental Economics
The global development of society requires constant updating of the objectives that education pursues and how they are achieved. Science education is an area undergoing advanced transformation, both at the level of objectives and methodologies, with a strong social, economic, and knowledge impact. Research-based education is a well-established term, especially in the higher education system. More studies and key policy documents argue that education must be based on cutting-edge research. Essential in this equation is the existence of dedicated frameworks (tools, events, courses, and strategies) and knowledgeable mentors and developers. Through reliable tools, we refer to real learning contexts created by the parties involved in studies and research together with those who analyze how students receive information at their level of knowledge and understanding.
Such a context is also the integration platforms facilitating access to data, products, and research services. There are many such platforms, but not so many of them develop components dedicated to an important user category: pupils, students and their teachers. Considering this category of beneficiaries also means collecting feedback on what is relevant to them, what the platform exposes as information, and what actions they can take to be immersed in the research process. Future ‘Environmental Data Scientists’ will need to draw on multiple data and information sources, using data analysis, statistics, and models to create knowledge that is communicated effectively to decision-makers in government, industry, and civil society. Platforms that “expose” monitoring data, offer access to research products, and allow both the interoperability and reproducibility of science and the transparency of the process leading to a shared outcome are essential for the much-claimed paradigm shift towards open science.
