The article deals with the role of responsible research and innovation (RRI) in promoting intrinsic motivation of secondary school learners. RRI is a new concept highlighted by the European Commission that refers to the process which requires a dialogue between scientists and all citizens including the young generation to align the results of research with societal needs in a better way. RRI deals with uncertain areas of knowledge, where arguments and values matter as much as facts. It gives students an opportunity for responsibility and self-expression for coming to informed decisions about the science innovation and their impact. This situation requires a deeper look into the problem of motivation for learning science from the aspect of RRI activity. The research problem is formulated as a question: how does responsible research and innovation in science education promote intrinsic motivation of secondary school learners. Learners’ intrinsic motivation was analysed on the basis of Self-Determination Theory (STD). According to STD, it is important to fulfil three basic psychological needs of learners: the need for autonomy, the need for competence and the need for relatedness. Intrinsic motivation inventory (IMI) was used to assess the participants’ intrinsic motivation related to the RRI activity in science. The article describes the results of RRI project ENGAGE in Lithuania.

The article deals with the role of responsible research and innovation (RRI) at science education in promoting intrinsic motivation of secondary school learners from Lithuania. RRI deals with uncertain areas of knowledge and gives students an opportunity for responsibility and self-expression to come to informed decisions about science innovations and their impact. The theoretical background of learners’ intrinsic motivation was analysed on the basis of Self-Determination Theory (STD). STD highlights three basic psychological needs of learners: the need for autonomy, the need for competence and the need for relatedness.The research problem is formulated as a question: how do basic psychological needs influence intrinsic motivation of secondary school learners at RRI activity? Intrinsic motivation inventory was used to assess the secondary school students’ intrinsic motivation related to RRI activity. The collected data were analysed using simple regression. The findings confirm that the need for competence and the need for relatedness are important internal factors in promotion of intrinsic motivation of secondary school learners at RRI activity.

Responsible Research

AbstractResponsible Research and Innovation has become a core concept in many of the Horizon 2020 programs. In this article the concept of RRI is discussed in context of secondary education, and the interpretation used within the project ‘Irresistible’ is introduced. In the article several ways in which RRI can be incorporated in science classrooms are discussed, connected to the teaching of contemporary research taking place in universities as well as recent innovations coming from industry. The presented modules are designed in groups in which teachers work together with researchers, science educators and science center experts. As one of the educational approaches used in the modules, students created exhibits in which both the scientific content as well as the RRI concepts related to the content are demonstrated for the general public. These exhibits have been very successful as a learning tool.

Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction

The studies show a positive and direct relationship between basic psychological needs satisfaction and intrinsic motivation of the students. However, there is a lack of studies that analyze the psychological processes that affect these relationships. For this reason, the purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating role of academic integration on the relationship between basic psychological needs satisfaction and intrinsic motivation of Chilean university students. The participants were a total of 580 students from a university in northern Chile, 359 women and 221 men. The mediation analysis was performed by structural equations modeling, using the maximum likelihood method and the bootstrapping procedure with 10,000 iterations. The results indicated that academic integration partially mediated the relationship between basic psychological needs satisfaction and intrinsic motivation of the students. Therefore, the basic psychological needs satisfaction had an indirect effect on the intrinsic motivation of the students through academic integration. It is concluded that the academic integration constitutes a psychological process that promotes the development of intrinsic motivation for learning. The practical implications are discussed along with the limitations of the study and recommendations for future research.

AbstractCurrent European innovation and security policies are increasingly channeled into efforts to address the assumed challenges that threaten European societies. A field in which this has become particularly salient is digitized EU border management. Here, the framework of responsible research and innovation (RRI) has recently been used to point to the alleged sensitivity of political actors towards the contingent dimensions of emerging security technologies. RRI, in general, is concerned with societal needs and the engagement and inclusion of various stakeholder groups in the research and innovation processes, aiming to anticipate undesired consequences of and identifying socially acceptable alternatives for emerging technologies. However, RRI has also been criticized as an industry-driven attempt to gain societal legitimacy for new technologies. In this article, we argue that while RRI evokes a space where different actors enter co-creative dialogues, it lays bare the specific challenges of governing security innovation in socially responsible ways. Empirically, we draw on the case study of BODEGA, the first EU funded research project to apply the RRI framework to the field of border security. We show how stakeholders involved in the project represent their work in relation to RRI and the resulting benefits and challenges they face. The paper argues that applying the framework to the field of (border) security lays bare its limitations, namely that RRI itself embodies a political agenda, conceals alternative experiences by those on whom security is enacted upon and that its key propositions of openness and transparency are hardly met in practice due to confidentiality agreements. Our hope is to contribute to work on RRI and emerging debates about how the concept can (or cannot) be contextualized for the field of security—a field that might be more in need than any other to consider the ethical dimension of its activities.
