Scientific dissemination
The Joan Oró Foundation wants to promote the teaching of science based on these three pillars: diversity, curiosity and creativity
Our main objective is to awaken scientific vocations. The role of teachers is key to stimulating curiosity about science from a very young age.
Disclosure
Promoting scientific vocations is a long-term investment with a clear and positive impact on society. In fact, scientific development is vital not only from an economic perspective but also from a social and cultural standpoint.
Several studies confirm that the most important element in the development of a scientific vocation is the figure of the teacher. Therefore, the educational tools used by teachers to convey science are of special importance.
The way science is taught in the classroom has a direct impact on future vocations. Classes are no longer seen as a space where the teacher simply explains; instead, they are now more dynamic, participatory, and focused on practical application.
