Abstract

Social innovation laboratories (SIL) are spaces for the construction of knowledge where UNESCO's Sustainable Development Goals can be met. The objective of the research was to identify the most relevant studies about the social construction of knowledge, within the framework of the SIL, related to environmental problems and to analyze them in order to propose solutions for sustainability. The method used to locate the articles published in open access, from 2010 to 2020, in Scopus, Web of Science and Google Academic, was the Systematic Literature Review. The findings show that the working groups are multidisciplinary and originate proposals from different areas of science. The products are built with an open approach. Universities are the spaces that most promote participation in the laboratories to generate sustainability actions applicable in real life and work is done to scale up the prototypes to local, national and international levels.

Highlights

  • Since 2010, it has been common to observe the growth of initiatives to address social problems through the intervention of non-profit civil groups, so that there are various proposals where they are organized to promote a change in the reality of society

  • Which are the journals with the greatest number of publications related to the Social Construction of Knowledge? Table 2 shows that at least 8 journals that have published articles on the topic of CSK contain research related to environmental problems and solutions for sustainability

  • The quadruple helix is involved in the work with Social Innovation Laboratories (SIL), the necessary planning was manifested with the intervention of the area of education, which was the main driver of the research reported in this Systematic Literature Review (SLR), which was reflected in the integration of universities, schools, research centers and teaching groups

Summary

Introduction

The activities are carried out in a workshop format, with the aim of creating prototypes of a product that is applied in reality and is transformed with constant feedback, since openness is maintained for other disciplines to rescue the most valuable and increase their possibilities of application and follow-up in different contexts (POHL; KRÜTLI; STAUFFACHER, 2017). These workshops use the perspectives of FabLabs with three main characteristics: experiential education, constructionism and critical pedagogy as a way to continue the human nature of creating its tools and constantly altering its environment (BLIKSTEIN; KRANNICH, 2013)
