Okada's contributions involve the co-creation of new frameworks, methods, and tools for constructing and extending knowledge within social contexts. Drawing on sociocultural theory, critical pedagogy, and mixed methods, her research endeavours to prepare the upcoming generation for Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI). RRI is designed to synchronise scientific progress with societal needs across five key sectors, Dr Okada’s competences involves these five sectors prior joining the OU.

  • Educational Communities: Her previous experience as a teacher and teachers’ educator in schools enriched this sector by bringing practical insights into the classroom's evolving needs.
  • Scientific Institutions: Through her role as an academic lecturer and researcher, Okada contributed to bridging gaps between scientific research and its practical application in educational settings.
  • Business and Industry: Her tenure as a computer scientist at leading green industries, including Johnson & Johnson and IBM, demonstrated the integration of sustainable practices within corporate frameworks.
  • Civil Society Organisations: As a senior consultant to the Association for Science Education UK and an advisor to the Brazilian Government, she has influenced policy and educational standards that align with civil society's goals for sustainability.
  • Policymakers: Okada's advisory role to the Secretary of Continuing Education, Literacy, Diversity, and Inclusion of the Brazilian Government illustrated her direct engagement in shaping policies that support sustainable education and development.

Currently, Dr. Okada serves as a Senior Advisor on Open Schooling and Transversal Skills, furthering the Sustainable Development Goals alongside the United Nations, UNESCO and the European Union. Her work in the UK, supporting the Climate Change and Sustainability Education Programme, emphasises excellence in education and skills for Net Zero, Artificial Intelligence in Education and fostering a better environment for future generations, thereby connecting her efforts directly with the principles of RRI across its defined sectors.

Research interests

Alexandra is dedicated to enriching education by merging formal and informal learning methods, with a strong belief in incorporating elements of enjoyment and fulfillment into the educational process. Her approach aims to empower teachers, researchers, and students with the essential knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for navigating the swiftly changing realms of science and technology. By addressing both local and global challenges, her work leverages innovative tools like mixed realities, knowledge mapping, artificial intelligence, and embraces open science initiatives.

Bringing over twenty-five years of experience in technology-enhanced learning, assessment, and science education, Alexandra has played a pivotal role in leading research projects, especially those funded by various European entities in the areas of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and Science with and for Society. Her contributions extend to managing significant projects funded by the Brazilian government, focusing on enhancing gender inclusion, digital literacy, and the professional development of teachers.

Alexandra's expertise is notably profound in the domain of transformative and emancipatory literacies within the digital age. This encompasses a broad spectrum of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) components including, but not limited to, open access, ethics, gender equality, public engagement, governance, and science education. Presently, she is at the forefront of developing a framework centered on 'emancipatory fun' in education. This innovative framework seeks to redefine educational practices by integrating open and inclusive fun learning methodologies, as evidenced by her analytical work on the Rumpus projects aimed at fostering Innovative Education for Sustainability.

Emancipatory fun

Teaching interests

Alexandra's academic contributions encompass designing and teaching diverse courses in educational technology, online learning methodologies, open educational resources, and software applications for mixed methods research. These courses are targeted at both undergraduate and postgraduate students. Her extensive experience, gained initially through roles as a STEM teacher educator in Brazilian secondary schools and as an instructor for summer courses in the UK, has endowed her with a profound understanding of digital educational practices, particularly those related to sustainability.

Currently serving as an honorary lecturer at the Open University, with appointments in both Brazil and Portugal, Alexandra instructs postgraduate students in Knowledge Cartography and Responsible Research and Innovation in Education, with a focus on sustainability issues and AI tools, as outlined in her [new book]. She has successfully guided eleven PhD candidates to completion. Furthermore, Alexandra's contributions to the development, execution, and assessment of a European MOOC, aimed at engaging science through responsible research and innovation, have reached 18,000 educators across Europe and Brazil. In addition, her role as the scientific coordinator of an open schooling initiative has had a significant impact, affecting more than 50,000 students.

Impact and engagement

Alexandra's pioneering work in "Knowledge Cartography for Sustainability" over the past 15 years stands as a testament to her commitment to integrating sustainability into education. Through collaboration with international experts, she has advanced both conceptual frameworks and methodological tools. Her innovative "evidence-based dialogue mapping" method empowers students to tackle real-world challenges through scientific argumentation, finding its place in areas like inquiry design, citizen science, and policy analysis.

As the principal investigator (PI) in several key European-funded projects, Alexandra has exhibited remarkable leadership in inquiry-based science education, focusing on sustainability.

In CONNECT(2020-2023), she introduced the "CARE-KNOW-DO" framework, which aims to democratize science education and encourage engagement with science careers, particularly for those distanced from science. This initiative stresses the importance of partnerships for fostering productive learning environments and enhancing access to science careers for disadvantaged learners, equipping them with transversal skills essential for sustainable development.

In ENGAGE(2014-2017), she developed an inquiry skills framework aligned with Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI). This approach encourages young individuals to engage with real-life socio-scientific issues and understand the societal impacts of scientific innovations. Influencing curriculum design and assessment across Europe, this framework has reached over 18,000 teachers in 80 countries and has been integrated into the AQA National Exam Board in the UK, underscoring its significant impact on science education.

In weSPOT(2013-2015), she conceptualised the term ‘inquiry workflow’  to foster pervasive learning through the working environment with social personal open technologies. This model fostered community-led projects in eight countries, engaging over 250 participants in co-inquiry initiatives that extend beyond the traditional classroom setting, using mobile devices to explore scientific questions in real-world contexts.

Alexandra also led the research on trust-based e-assessment  at the OU and in Europe.

In TESLA(2016-2019), she co-developed a pedagogical framework for trust-based e-assessment. Her work based on RRI focussed on a cross-national large-scale study of TeSLA system used by more than 22,000 learners with a variety of research methods, questionnaires design and validation, multilingual datasets, and rigorous data collection management. Trust-based e-assessment  is a  significant field in the area of online education, academic integrity and quality assurance. 

External collaborations

Alexandra is a consultant member of the Association for Science Education (ASE-UK), where she has enhanced the professional development of secondary school science teachers through projects like Science Upd8 and Wikid, aimed at providing contemporary science resources. Additionally, she has developed open educational resources and technology-enhanced materials for primary school science teachers, contributing to projects such as Upd8 Primary and Mastery Science in the UK.

 

Her research in the fields of Science, Education, and Technology has been supported by international organizations including the Hewlett Foundation, Telefonica Foundation, the Brazilian Government, and the European Commission. This funding facilitated the establishment of various partnerships across Europe, Latin America, and Africa, particularly through the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP).

Alexandra has collaborated with a diverse array of international institutions, multinational corporations, and civil society organizations. Notable examples include IBM, Nestlé, the Catalan National Education Centre, Brazil's Bank, UNICEF, and the International Labour Organization (ILO) under UNESCO.
