THE OPEN SCIENCE COMPETENCIES OF TEACHERS OF NATURAL AND MATHEMATICAL SUBJECTS

Abstract

The review article considers the competencies of open science in a broad sense and as a component of the professional competencies of a teacher of natural sciences and mathematics to work in a scientific lyceum. In particular, the meaning of the concept of «open science» is revealed, in order to further define the components of the competences of open science. The main components of open science competencies have been identified and divided into four categories: skills and experience required for open access publishing; skills and experience in research data, data production, management, analysis / use / reuse, dissemination and paradigm shift from «protected default data» to «open default data», subject to legal and other restrictions; skills and experience in their own scientific and disciplinary community and beyond; skills and experience derived from the general and broad concept of science, where researchers interact with the general public to enhance the impact of science and research. Among the categories of open science competencies the main components relevant for teachers were established: open access publishing competencies (library and research information skills, literacy skills in open publications); competences in data management and open data (technical skills, skills in the field of information technology); competences to conduct professional research (research management skills, legal skills, integrity research and ethics skills); competence of social science. The ways to master the competencies of open science are proposed: competition and cooperation; the use of open science cloud services; the use and reuse of open data; introduction of the principles of open science not only among scientists, but also among educators.

Key words: open science; competences of open science; teachers of natural sciences and mathematics; scientific lyceums.
