European Union has recently begun placing emphasis on sharing of scientific process as well as knowledge with public as part of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) approach. During RRI process, research results are required to be accessible to public for efficient scientific communication. It is hereby significant to evaluate pre-service science teachers’ views. Thus, this study focused on pre-service science teachers’ views of RRI using RRI-questionnaire. Preliminary results show that pre-service science teachers have positive views towards RRI-open science dimension. Keywords: open science, Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI), pre-service science teachers.

Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) has recently gained wider importance in the European Union (EU) as an emergent framework informing the governance of science. While a growing body of literature describing RRI and its main conceptual dimensions has appeared in the last seven years or so and in several policy documents, the European Commission has emphasized the need to promote science education in the RRI context, there is no theoretical elaboration of how RRI can be meaningfully integrated into the practice of science education. In order to address this problem, the present research aimed at inquiring into the way in which science teachers make sense of RRI in school. Data were gathered with individual semi-structured interviews from 29 science teachers working in comprehensive schools and hobby schools. Abductive content analysis combining data and conceptual dimensions of RRI was used. In the light of how the science teachers in our sample have made sense of RRI, four theoretical categories have emerged: (1) meaning making; (2) taking action; (3) exploring; and (4) inclusion. These findings have important implications for developing a theory of RRI which can be beneficial for researchers as well as teachers for meaningfully integrating RRI into science education. Keywords: abductive content analysis, responsibility as care, Responsible Research and Innovation, science education, science teacher.

Basic Physics Practicum is a course taken by the pre-service science teacher of Tarbiyah Faculty of IAIN Kudus. Pre-service science teachers are required to carry out scientific work in the practicum. Scientific work includes scientific attitudes, scientific communication, and scientific process skills. The problem in this research is how the level of scientific work of pre-service science teachers who have different fields of study background in high school. The purpose of this study is to determine the level of scientific work of pre-service science teachers who have different fields of study background in high school. The research method used is a quantitative descriptive method in which research data are obtained through instruments in the form of questionnaire sheets and observation sheets. Based on the results of the study note that the ability to work scientifically which includes scientific attitudes, scientific communication, and scientific process skills possessed by a pre-service science teacherwith non-natural science backgrounds is lower than with the natural science ones. These results provide input to the lecturer team to revise the practicum draft that has been prepared so that it is more effective in improving the scientific workability, especially for pre-service science teachers with non-natural backgrounds.

Sowohl Open Science als auch Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) zielen auf tiefgreifende Transformationen im Innovationssystem durch eine stärkere Öffnung von Forschung und Entwicklung für gesellschaftliche Akteure. Trotz dieser grundsätzlichen Nähe beider Konzepte wurde ihr Verhältnis bisher nicht eingehend analysiert. Dieser Beitrag möchte einen ersten Ansatz bieten, die Ähnlichkeiten und Unterschiede von RRI und Open Science hinsichtlich des diskursiven Ursprungs der beiden Metakonzepte, ihrer jeweiligen Herausforderungen und Ziele sowie ihrer Akteure und der Rolle der Gesellschaft zu diskutieren. Darauf aufbauend werden Implikationen und Potenziale einer konzeptionellen Integration aufgezeigt. Der Artikel schließt mit einem Ausblick auf mögliche Ansätze einer Integration.

The introduction of standards in research and development leading to new products or innovative processes can be thought of as a particularly technical approach to framing scientific enterprises. At the other end of the spectrum, open science or responsible research and innovation may be initially thought of as concepts with no underlying technical approaches to support them. In reality as currently practiced, the development and use of standards engages significant non-technical aspects, needing to take into account research cultures or desired societal outcomes. Similarly, open science, and responsible research and innovation can operate using very practical and technical approaches. This essay focuses at the intersections of these concepts to try to contribute to larger discussions in both the research and governance communities as to how researchers should conduct their research, and what respective responsibilities of researchers, their institutes, and their supporters are.
