Between March 15 and April 14, 2013, as part of the celebrations for the 400th anniversary of the UNC, Cuatrociencia took place. This was a grand celebration of science, technology, and the arts, which sought to share with the community the knowledge produced at the UNC in all its disciplinary areas and within the framework of strong policies promoting science and technology at the national level.
The FFyH participated in the exhibition process and, together with the Faculty of Arts, was responsible for the management and production of the “Desde el Río” (From the River) stand. The stand was a privileged opportunity to strengthen and deepen the link between the faculties of philosophy and humanities and the faculty of arts and the Cordoba society of which they are a part; a society that at the same time shapes, challenges, sustains, and modifies them.
However, “Desde el río” was not the only way in which the FFyH participated in the fair, as the faculty presented more than 27 proposals in the Interactive Classroom, which took place in the Assembly Hall of the Pabellón Argentina and was attended by hundreds of students from schools throughout the province and the general public. The Interactive Classroom was understood by our Faculty as an opportunity for researchers, teachers, and extension workers from the University to give first-hand accounts of their knowledge production processes to the rest of the community. The organization of the proposals presented was undertaken by the FFyH's SeICyT in coordination with the Cuatrociencia organization.
Given the novelty and richness of the experience, the FFyH considered it important to hold a follow-up session after the presentations in the Interactive Classroom to review the experience and provide a space for reflection on this specific practice.
The participating teams were therefore invited to contribute to this publication.
The presenters were invited to describe their experiences, taking into account the reasons that motivated them to address the topic, the methodological decisions regarding the form of presentation, and the expectations that this circumstance generated in the teams. They were also asked to report on new situations that arose during the meeting, as well as their reflections on how the experience affected or changed the team, the topics addressed, and their preconceptions prior to the meeting.
In their work, the authors reflect on how they selected the theoretical and practical content they presented. They also explain how they decided to publicly disclose the scientific processes, methods, and even uncertainties they had about the audience's reception, whose profile they did not know when preparing the activity. They also reflect on the effort they made to use metaphors, comparisons, and analogies to explain complex ideas or theoretical models. Several of the experiences acknowledge having explicitly invited those present to offer their voices, perspectives, participation, and views, which in most cases is described as a moment of enthusiastic and intense participation. And for several teams, the Interactive Classroom was a space that allowed them to strengthen ties between university and non-university actors who have been developing projects together for some time.
